Cyborg?
That's probably more likely. Still, cyborgs should NOT be allowed in the HOF. |

The HOF voting is already a joke, but if Shilling gets in before Bagwell then I will vomit.

The BBWAA has always been excellent at electing members. We'll see how they do the next few years. |

The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap. It does not lend itself to protocol. It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants. Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility. A civilized man should avoid this mania.

And to annoy you this fine Wednesday morning, BP takes a swing at Bagwell saying the Andro proves he used PED. Caveat, I'm not a subscriber and have no idea what the rest of the article says and to be fair the author indicates at one point that he supports Bagwell's candidacy. However, the fact that Bagwell took Andro when it was a legal substance both in the eyes of the government and MLB should have little to no bearing on "the PED conversation." |

Fuck BP. Fuck 'em in the ear. That said, the author supports electing Bagwell to the Hall. He points out that Baggy admitted using Creatine and Andro when they were legal and available on retail shelves all over the US, and that he never failed a drug test, wasn't mentioned in The List, wasn't otherwise implicated, etc. The author doesn't believe in applying retroactive morality. Had Bagwell used andro in 2005, or flunked a drug test, I'd feel differently, but timing matters. He should be voted into the Hall of Fame. He won’t be this year, but it would be nice to see him surpass the 50 percent mark and build toward induction. |

FWIW, I'm pretty sure that creatine still isn't illegal in baseball or in real life. |

Yesterday on MLB Network's "Clubhouse Confidential," Bob Costas was the guest. Host Brian Kenney ran down the list of Hall of Fame candidates this year and asked Costas who he'd vote for. When they got to Bagwell's name, Costas said "when it doubt, keep him out." Kenney wasn't in agreement and said that Bagwell was a "no-doubt Hall of Famer." Still, Bob Costas contended there were questions that needed to be answered and until they were, Bagwell shouldn't be vote in.
I have a question for Bob that needs an answer: "Do you still wear women's underwear?"
Until I get a satisfactory answer, I'll have to assume he does.

"When in doubt, keep him out." Yeah, that's real catchy, reducing some bullshit concept to a phrase that rhymes. Kinda like "If it does not fit, you must acquit." Or maybe "If your arrogant asshole little face gets too close to mine, I'll take a swing at you, you little fuck."
Maybe I need to work on that last part.
