re: MLB Offseason Thread: Hosmer to the Padres, Twins get a starter

Jim Thome as well

Nope it is a tragedy... both are eligible to work in MLB, both are in good standing with the Hall of Fame, both are blackballed by writers

It’s a shame about Bonds and Clemens. That generation has been proven to be full of drug users. While I think it taints numbers, and the HR record is never going to be what it once was, those guys are still Hall worthy.

Thome has to go in an Indian, yeah?

Sosa is the only one (with Big Mac) who I could say maybe not. Bonds, Manny, and Clemens should be a sure fire Hall of Fame players....

One of, if not the, best defensive CF's I've ever seen. Some of his catches wete unreal, and he could cover some ground. He just doesn't have the offensive numbers to be a HOFer.

I was talking with a co-worker today, and Edmonds came up.
there were some really good CFs in the NL in the 80s and 90s. Between Edmonds, Steve Finley, van Slyke, and Andruw Jones, you could count on a highlight catch every night.

Chipper and Vlad in the Hall of Fame

Chipper Jones is such a scumbag and he is the king of trailer park baseball fans. Used to be this fat obnoxious trailer park woman whose son was on my sons' baseball team. She'd yell out in her loud, tooth deprived voice "OOO DOGGIE DURWOOD HIT A HOME RUN LIKE CHIPPA JONES, LIKE CHIPPA JONES WE BUY YEW A CHEESE PIZZA." God, I hated her and got to hate Chipper Jones because of her.

Her son's name wasn't really Durwood, as I changed it to protect his privacy. Her kid also sucked.

Jones also played for the Braves, which adds even more scuminess to him. I loved when the Yankees would kick their arse in front of their tomahawk choppin' lowlife fans.

Chipper Jones, with his mouth full of chaw, is my least favorite baseball player who played on my least favorite team.

So, naturally, my business partner gave me a Chipper Jones' autographed baseball for Christmas one year.

I have an irrational level of dislike for Chipper, mostly because of that fat loudmouth at the kid's baseball games.

I legit hope bonds doesn't make the hall of fame all because it continues to piss of giants fans. It's petty, but I'm only human

Clemens and Bonds not being yet admitted amphetimine users get passes by these crusty arse writers irks me.

I mean it’s a museum I get it but to think only the Rocket and Barry benefited is ludicrous. Why did they never question cal or The Kid? The change they underwent was “noticeable”
