Are you kidding? That guy was terrible.

Again?

Make America White Again

Dear Jorge,

meanwhile, The History Channel is in the middle of a 4-hour block of American Pickers.

Jeff Bagwell should have gone in with Biggio, but instead was an abject lesson in old school baseball writer logic: be born a immobile giant who was a defensive liability like Frank Thomas rather than stealing 200 bases and winning a Gold Glove.

Soooo... punish worthy players for the transgressions of recalcitrant voters, basically.

Schilling is an abhorrent, corn-laden turd and I don’t want him in the Hall, but his actual on-field accomplishments merit it.

I think the general consensus has been “yeah, he was good, but not *that* good, and if an already-borderline candidate is going to spend his retirement using his public platform to do nothing but repeatedly shit on various groups of people, it’s hard to feel pity for him if journalists don’t feel like voting for him…

*puts down “ROCK FOR HOF” placard after 9 angry years*

You can only hold empty “he had giant biceps, he must’ve been juicing” allegations against an otherwise Hall of Famer for so long. Career .297/.408/.540/.948, 449 HRs (played in his prime in the Astrodome, which is no Minute Maid), 209 SBs, 9 seasons of 100+ runs and 30+ HRs, and despite his reputation, was very…

Here’s the thing about Bagwell, people have spent a lot of timing intimating that he was on performance enhancers, but he never showed up on any reports like a Clemens or Bonds.

Aaaaaaaaand, fuck Curt Schilling.

Listen, that’s just a list of everyone’s favorite foods.

Mayonnaise is too spicy

According to Wikipedia’s 2010 census data demographics, the tiny Texas town of Azle (pop. 10-11K) is 95% white and .22% (yes- point 22) black, so I’m shocked anyone there caught it.

I would say her actions were ignorant, not evil.

I also (sort of) get her comparison- not many mexicans drink Margaritas and wear sombreros but many tolerate it (or even expect it) at a Mexican restaurant or mexican themed celebration. Still she should know better...  

Bullshit. Joe Jackson is a no talent hack who only got to where he did by exploiting his children’s talents with no regard for their well being. He has no place being elected to the hall of fame.

Yes, he absolutely should be enshrined, but at the same time, it is so fucking funny that he isn’t. Knowing he’s on twitter searching for “Curt Schilling HOF” getting angry at people who say they wouldn’t vote for him. It’s the little things that make me happy.

Anytime basebrawls are discussed I am reminded of my favorite—the time Kyle Farnsworth kicked the shit out of Paul Wilson.
