Right now Vic that’s still a large majority of this country. That’s quite the slow death.

Firstly, a large majority of this country are noot even sorts fans. Seondly, check the tv ratings, you think people don’t care to look at the games but they are discussing hof worthiness? Very few people care. Just
because people go to games mostly to enjoy the weather, does not mean
avast majority care abut what basebal nuts lose sleep over.

The HOF is becoming a joke, if it’s not one already. If Manny is left out, then it’s official.

Sadly some people had to use Manny’s retirement to bash Mark McGwire for PED use and say Manny was better than him, which is false.

Why is this false? Doesnt he have better numbers in every significant offensive stat?

2. Boston pitchers fail to realize that fastballs down the middle usually get hit out of the park by the Yankees

3. Oh Manny. I appreciate him helping the Sox get two titles in my lifetime but I don’t think he’ll make the HOF unless the writers start letting all the roiders in.

4. Let me be one of the few to say it: Airing spring football on national TV is a fucking waste of airtime. Who the hell cares about an LSU scrimmage? GET THE HELL OFF THE TV IN APRIL!

Still a cool way to spend day as a fan.

They ought to just have a section that deals with “dark clouds of MLB history” (segregation, steroids, Joe Buck).

Assign a 1-6, with 1 being likeliest to get in, for Bonds, Sosa, McGwire, Palmiero, this guy, and some other random guy you want to disparage with steroid accusations whose name I’m forgetting because I’m midday drunk.

They all get a six for the nest 20-25 years, then most of them get a 1.

it seems to, to the players

Induction isn’t the mark of immortality it was once perceived to be.

they make a bust of your head. I think out of unobtainium.

For me, Manny Ramirez’ legacy is personal. I’ll remember the visceral enjoyment of watching him play baseball.

In the end, as fans, this is all that matters.

IMO, if we’re going to keep players out of the Hall because of PED, we should also keep the writers of that generation out as well for their acceptance of it that preceded their outrage.

I’m sympathetic to this argument because the mainstream sporting press (the ones that like to tout their journalistic training and look down on bloggers) completely dropped the ball on the steroid story.
