Lost last 3 series against SF too

Headley back with the Yankees, four years, $52 million. Great, I guess.

It really was a privilege to see him pitch for my favorite team and be a part of the team that ended the "curse". Going to Fenway for a Pedro start was always a treat. Can't believe he only got 91.1%, but that's BBWAA for you.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Yes, congrats to all who got the call into the Hall.

Reds picked thier dinosaur

Really glad Biggio made it in. Really loved the way he played. I also had the pleasure of meeting John Smoltz during a brewer playoff game in 2008 when he was one of the broadcasters. Really cool guy.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Four very deserving selections. I also was able to witness the bulk of their careers, the first time I can say that about any HoF class. I'm getting old.

 

[Rambler]

Sucks doesn't it.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

It sure does.

Agreed on Biggio, he seems like a decent, good human being. And kudos on meeting Smoltzie - he was an absolute warrior on the mound and a class guy off of it.

It'll be worse next year...Ken Griffey Jr. is up

 

[Rambler]

Wow, really? Doesn't seem like he's been gone that long. I loved watching him play.

 

[Grenouille]

Next year's vote should be interesting Griffey is pretty much the only 100% surefire guy next year. The only other person coming up next year that will eventually get in is Trevor Hoffman, but I think he waits.

Then there's the leftovers from this year. I think Piazza gets it, but the rest are hard to gauge. I wish the the BBWAA would stop being the sanctimonious *******s they are and just let Bonds and Ohio Billy in. They were HOFers without the PEDs.

 

[Rambler]

I don't know, I think Hoffman will get in. I hope Piazza isn't lumped into that group of players that people "assumed" did PEDs. He should be in the Hall.

 

[Hazmat31]

I still would love to see Pete Rose in the Hall.
One of the most deserving players.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Yep.

He should get at least 95 percent of the vote. Hoffman will probably get about 80 percent. Piazza likely gets in, but barely.

He will when Selig gets the FO

 

[Rambler]

Agreed. Rose needs to be in the hall. No one will ever catch his hit record. Its a joke he's not in there.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Been a while since the last update.

Scherzer signs with the Nats. Who cares?

Manfred takes over as commish today. Who cares?

"Mr. Cub" Ernie Banks died Friday. I care. RIP, good buddy. Let's Play Two.

 

[KitFisto]

New MLB commish is "open" to banning the defensive shift when fielding. I really hope they don't start fixing what isn't broken like football and hockey seem intent on doing.
