You have to be kind of an asshole to buy a dog these days.

It’s important context that is useful if they’re trying to get the word out... There is a non-minimal chance that Gizmodo readers travelled to see the launch. They want those people to pay attention. Maybe the suspect was also at the launch? Maybe the two were spotted at a gathering of rocket enthusiasts who got…

Can you still buy a car with a CD player? I have a 2012 that has no bluetooth and maybe a six-disc cd changer. Not sure. Never use it. But I could.

My only point is that Pete Rose could get back into MLB if he tried hard enough, and the question is whether he is willing/capable. But he could.

These people need jobs.

Seriously. Fighting to keep this stuff makes no sense to me.

Rose has acknowledged he did it, and in 2010 he apologized, but whenever he sits down with anyone from baseball they always come away with the conclusion that he’s fairly unrepentant and doesn’t seem to understand why he was banned. He also continues to bet all the time, on baseball. To the extent it’s sorry, it…

Because it was so blatant.

So, now it’s just a list of people we think are cool. Because Rob Deer better go in, then. He was my favorite when I was nine. And Rick Ankiel deserves a fucking break in life. Put him in!

On the field, but he was just looked like a regular asshole when he went to court.

THIS.

They’re not trying to erase it, they’re just not trying to celebrate a bad memory.

I did.

Can we stop for a second and focus on Curt Schilling not making the cut?

Rose’s big crime is that he’s unrepentant. If he apologized he’d get in. Bonds and Clemens are also unrepentant. They openly and unapologetically broke the rules to achieve the highest level of success in the game, were confronted and refuse to acknowledge any wrongdoing.

Interesting that you would mention Lance Armstrong. He was stripped of all of his titles, was banned for life from the sport of cycling, banned for life from any Olympic sanctioned sport and is facing a $100m+ lawsuit for committing fraud.

Clemens and Bonds are well-known and completely unrepentant. They didn’t respect the game or the fans, why should anyone respect them?

You make a solid argument that Bud Selig should NOT be in the HOF (merely by mentioning it) but you do nothing to convince me that Bonds or Clemens should be in.

The fact that massive cheaters may be in the HOF means we should just say “fuck it” and put them all in? Hmmm...

I thought having those weird evil twins riding in the back of an Escalade truck was actually pitch perfect.
