i thoght the admission was what the commissioner was waiting for.

I bet putting your breasts on the adult board would cheer you up.

24 seasons. 3,562 games. 14,053 at bats. a .303 lifetime average. .987% fielding.

Charlie Hustle deserves the hall. That Pete Rose is a flawed man is unquestionable. That he was one of the few baseball players who played with heart and guts is also without doubt. I will not visit Cooperstown until Rose is there.
Of course he belongs. It's not a reward. It is for the fans, who do not see the greatest hitter now when they go.

Granted, I am not maternal. But if my daughter bought me a $4 million house and several Mercedes, I would be pretty proud. Any child of mine is welcome to prance about partially clothed and lipsync so long as I am rolling in the dough as well.

Do any of them like each other? It was like on-campus interviews at the beginning--all standing in the lobby looking around but not talking to each other. yeah, movers and shakers they.

but what's particularly lame is that they made the teams girls/boys. this isn't fucking temptation island, or even survivor.

couldn't they have had some fun and made it ivy league grads vs. self-made high school grad/college drop outs? it would have proved a lot more than the nothing that girls/boys proves, other than vaguely cute chicks are better at getting strangerson the streets of the NYC to buy overpriced lemonade made in Stomp-drums.

You mean silver spoons versus proles fighting their way out of the trailer parks. We all know who'll work harder, anyway.

You mean, the fans who paid good money to go to Reds games and assumed that there was no possibility they were tainted by self-interested managerial moves?

The commissioner was looking for a Al-anon confession, where he actually admitted he was wrong, knew he did wrong, apologized for it, and said he was working to reform. Not an admission that he bet, but it didn't matter because he didn't bet against the reds, and shouldn't matter because if he had an alcohol or drug problem he wouldn't have been banned, and that, although it does matter, he's not the type to get all apologetic, and whether or not he is such a person who can apologize, it's still him to hang out at the tracks and the sports book in Vegas, all two days before this year's hall-of-famers are announced.

And is there another player in recent memory who created a totally hall of fame career well after a totally mediocre first half more so than the Eck?

Word was that mom freaked out and pushed for quickie annulment. Perhaps she didn't want no hillbilly man-ho latching on to her house and car rights.

Wasn't little sis supposed to get her own Mtv show or something? Did that ever pan out?

Jamie Lynn is on some show on Nickelodeon I think. I don't know about MTV. You should see my shoulders from all this kayaking I've been doing lately.
