Thome

...and in a surprise move, Ozzie Smith has been removed from the Hall.

Someone gave Kerry Wood 2 votes. Hilarious

I can't believe the voters didn't object to Thome like they do Bonds and Sosa. That dumb ass cracker was absolutely on steroids.

No failed test for Thome. Nor was there for Sosa and Bonds.

This is absolutely racism by voters. I'm not kidding.

Thome wasn't on steriods the same way Frank Thomas wasn't on steroids. I have family who know Thome's family downstate. They are massive people. To question Thome, you have to question Thomas.

No. I don't. Frank was always big.

Thome got HUGE in the late 90s.

ROOKIE THOME



STEROID THOME

Thome was country strong.

Not when he was a rookie. He was just a country cracker at that point.

Why is it that only white people are called "Country Strong". Black people are never called that. Black people never get that benefit of the doubt. I find that interesting.

Frank was also country strong.

Frank Thomas was definitely country strong. But if somebody called him that people would equate it with plantations, and that's messy.

Must have only seen one game of his.

Here's what it was. Thome pretty much behaved like Forrest Gump with the media through out his career. Media is mostly white. White people love Forrest Gump. So Thome gets in the HOF.

And this act was done on purpose by Thome to get people to like him. Throw them off the scent. Where as Bonds was an ass hole to the media.

carlos zambrano zero votes...

Beardown, you fucking idiot, people get bigger after high school.

I'm surprised that Rolen got so little support. For him to be behind McGriff is criminal, so to speak.

Edgar Martinez is my personal cause. I hope he gets in next year, but if he doesn't I think he'll get voted in by the veterans committee.

Especially people who spend their lives working out. It’s so fucking stupid.

Some sort of homage to the two baserunners he allowed in the supposed greatest game ever pitched.

_________________

Why don't Bonds, Sosa and Clemons get credit for "working out"? Yet Thome some how get credit for it?

Explain that to me.

Mussina with 63% ? Did anyone ever look at him, watch him pitch and say thats a HOF'er? Cant believe that many people apparently did.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Because there’s actual evidence of those 3 using steroids you fucking dope.

Nope. We all know they did it. But they never failed a test.

i recall edgar martinez looking quite steroidy and was still raking at age 40.... hit .294, over .400 on base with 24 hr and almost 100 rbi in his age 40 season... sure that was all natural

Rickey Henderson, Mike Piazza and Jeff Bagwell were also on roids. All in the HOF.

It's all arbitrary as to who voters decide did it and who didn't.

But for Thome to get this many votes on his first ballot is amazing. His head grew twice the size from his rookie year. That's not normal. People used to make fun of Bonds for his head growth. With Thome, voters believed, like some of you guys here, it's just because he worked out.

apparently being a good and likeable guy helps you get votes.

Being in the 600 club gets you votes.

Doesn't help Sosa, Bonds and McGwire.

Right. Try to figure out the glaring difference between them and Thome.

Have you read what I've said? There is no difference. They all did roids.

But Thome was Forrest Gump his entire career and said "Golly gee" and "Aww shucks" and the old white media love that shit. So he got their votes. Bonds said "Fuck you" to reporters and was black.

Sosa and McGuire were also ass holes. Not to the extent of Bonds, but jags none the less.

Vladimir Guerrero got in. How about that.
