A smokin' hot blonde just came and had a ticket for the seat he was in. :lol: To his credit he didn't say, "Don't you know who I am?"


WTF? Does he move around the park looking for empty seats? :lol: :lol:

Not a fan btw - he's over exposed IMO.


You take that back, you cocksucker.


Cornelison way more over exposed and I'd take Messmer's anthems ore shooting any day over his. His O' Canada was a thing of beauty.

I like to imagine he and his wife sing "God Bless America" in unison when they make love.

Well musically there's zero question ... our anthem sucks shit out loud, plus it's just one long run-on question to boot.

Wilson getting his groove back. He was pretty damn good before being traded. 1 hit over his last 5.1 innings pitched and no walks.

Let's see how he is in high leverage situations but yeah, he's looked good lately. And they need him big time.

He should get in on the first ballot.

10 straight seasons of 25 Homeruns and a gold glove.

I never thought I was looking at a HOF'er when I looked at Andruw Jones playing . Better get Dwight Evans in then.

But then how do you keep someone like Bobby Abreu out? These guys were really good players but they're just not on that level where you remember them in a way that you should remember a Hall of Famer.

Well, Im not sure about Evans. Bill James has made a case for him.

With Andruw Jones his defense puts him over the top. I always did feel like I was watching a Hall of Famer with Jones. Both Jones' actually

Yes, we have an entire wing for guys who played thru that era. Barry, Sammy, Palermo

Several exhibits on guys like Richard Hidalgo and Rich Aurellia. (they arent IN, but their seasons are remembered)

I always liked Evans, and I can see on paper why someone would look at the numbers and think he was better than Jim Rice. But if you followed their teams at the time you know there wasn't a major league pitcher who was worrying about Dewey Evans more than Jim Rice as he was working through that lineup.

Chipper is a no brainer. I never thought Andruw Jones was a Hall of Famer. He was a great defensive centerfielder but I don't think that's enough to boost him above corner guys who were just much better offensively like Dave Parker or Harold Baines. People already complain about Rice and Dawson and A. Jones is less than they are.

Does Evans have to be better than Rice to be in the HoF? Can't he be just as good or in the same class? Their base counting numbers are the same 2400 hits and 380 bombs (4 more seasons for Evans though) and they have almost identical OPS+ numbers 128 Rice vs 127 Evans. Not for nothing but Evans wasn't a statue in the OF.

This Rice as a feared hitter is so overdone it's insane. A buddy and I were watching the 1986 ALCS game 5 the other night (yeah, don't ask, alcohol was involved). During the 9th inning with nobody out and a man on first with a 3 run lead a running out of fumes Mike Witt was so afraid of the insanely scary Jim Rice that he blew him away with three straight heaters for the strikeout. I'm fine with Rice being in the HoF, but every pitcher worried about Rice bullshit it just that.

Lackey with a shutout through 7 innings and only 80 or 81 pitches and Joe pulls him.
