Menacing Angel Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Jerky won't like this piece of news.... Apparently, the Diamondbacks & Mariners agreed upon a deal that would send Justin Upton to the Mariners. However, Upton invoked his limited no-trade clause and blocked the trade.

Menacing Angel Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Noone got into the Hall of Fame. How lame. The BBWAA are a bunch of sad, little children. Are you surprised? Craig Biggio should've got in this year, no question about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I would have put Biggio, Piazza and Clemens in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronson Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 I would have put Biggio, Piazza and Clemens in. Needs more Bonds, but I agree with that class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lunchbox Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Why not Clemens? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menacing Angel Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Why not Clemens? The courts can say whatever they want, but I always had that sneaking suspicion that Clemens was on something and he's hiding something. Have you noticed the excessive blinking he has made in interviews about specific questions? Little things will tell you the whole story. That's how I knew A-Roid was lying about being on roids when he was questioned about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bronson Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Steroids or not, he should still be in the Hall of Fame. So should Bonds. And I would even put McGwire and Sosa in, since their home run race in '98 saved baseball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
»highlight Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 John Kruk worded it best: "If (Clemens and Bonds) they don't get in, then who does? It was a horrible era, but it was an era and baseball needs to recognize it." Yeah, Bonds tainted the history of the game, but he was the best of baseball's drug users when it was open-season for everybody to cheat. Baseball's popularity sky-rocketed at the expense of steroid-use, and the candidates will always have an asterisk by their name, so "hall of fame" has neither positive or negative connotation in this sense. They made an impact that changed the game. I don't condone testosterone enhancement, but the paranoia will never stop now that the drug has become so common. Barry Bonds not in the Hall of Fame just doesn't sit right with me. It's a Hall, not a locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunchbox Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Not only that you don't know who used steroids before the 90s so why start caring now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVD 4:20 Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 It's stupid. I don't get how you can ban peeps for drugs from the HOF, but yet you can let them keep playing. Da fuq? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menacing Angel Posted January 11, 2013 Report Share Posted January 11, 2013 Not only that you don't know who used steroids before the 90s so why start caring now? Not only that, but there are guys in the HOF now that was on drugs....just not steroids. Ruth, Mantle, Mays, Aaron were all on something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maskedmaniac Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 They should allow Pete Rose into the hall. He's served the time and besides, he's should be in as a player, not as the manager that gambled on his team. Also let Mark McGwire in as well. He was putting up great numbers as a young player and actually admitted to using PED's and isn't lying about it like Bonds and the other guys.

RVD 4:20 Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 It seems a little odd that the only account of this is in some book, which is re-quoted on a few blog-type sites. Maybe it was true, but I can't quite believe it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That reminds me of Daniel Tosh's quote "We'll put an asterisk next to Barry Bonds' name, sure, as soon as we put one next to Babe Ruth. Getting to break records before black people were allowed to play? Excuse me, where is that asterisk? Let's see how he would fair with CC's 92mph fastball."

maskedmaniac Posted January 12, 2013 Report Share Posted January 12, 2013 It's not Ruths fault Black people weren't allowed to play in the league back then, and in no way did that ever make him throw, catch and hit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
