HOF

Well there it is. Another year of idiocy by the HOF voters.

Or I should say half idiocy. Totally cool and expected that Tony Gwynn and Cal Ripken go to the Hall. And nice message to Mark McGwire (and others) : No steroids!

Ok, but what about the other side of the message by showing more respect to guys like Blyleven, Goose and Dawson? Their numbers look all that more impressive these days.

I had hopes that they would finally have a chance this year. But it's the same old shit. Same idiot voters.

Oh well I guess there is always the Hall in my head. Congrats to Gwynn and Ripken. Screw you voters!

Hang in there Bert

The tide is slowly turning in your favor

...Blyleven received a lower percentage of the votes this year than last year (53.3% vs. 47.7%). Hopefully, that's just because some (stupid) voters will only vote for a certain number of players each year, and since Ripken and Gwynn were locks, it took some votes away from Bert.

He's the best eligible pitcher not in the HOF, and, in my opinion, his career is comparable to his contempararies who are in the Hall (Nolan Ryan and Don Sutton, for example).
