Who's a Hall of Famer?

[Quality Start Machine]

Greg Maddux will certainly be a Hall of Famer, but it won't be unanimous, because PEDs or something.

Did he know that Jack Morris faced guys like Willie Wilson, Lonnie Smith, Alan Wiggins, and others with more cocaine up their nose than could be found in Colombia.

I don't know, but I was surprised to learn that there was no PED use in MLB prior to 1995.

Well, at least we have a cut-off now.

I always thought the Steroid Era begain in 1988, Canseco's 40/40 year.

The NFL began testing for steroids in 1987. Do we define STEROID ERA!!! as the point that guys started using it or the point that it became widespread?

Either way, you're just raking leaves on a windy day.

Not voting for guys based on their ethical purity seems a little silly, considering how many guys are in there because they doctored baseballs.

You're making the mistake of looking at Greg Maddux's HOF candidacy in rational, reasonable terms.  There are many, many arseholes out there who don't give a flying fuck about your rationality and reason, and some of them are HOF voters.  Yes, Maddux should be unanimous.  Get over it.  When it all comes down to it, we're talking about a multi-millionaire getting a tiny bit of extra recognition, on top of the almost inconceivable amount of recognition he's already received.  Who gives a shit?

Not to mention, it's a lot easier for a sportswriter to get noticed by being one of the handful who don't vote for a guy who should be a slam dunk than to be one of the hundreds who votes for him.

Well what if I DON'T get over it?  What are you gonna do then, limey?

Those 14 idiots wouldn't have voted for Christy Fucking Mathewson, let alone Greg Maddux.

Did you hear Larry Himes on the Score yesterday? He said he probably should have asked the Trib bigwigs for a little more cash to sign Maddux. Gee... you think so, Larrry?
