Steroids and HOF

[seaborneq]

I've admitted my bias as a fan of both the player and the team he played for. Now please explain the bias of people such as Bill James, Mel Antonen and Jayson Stark.


BiGGGGGG-GEEEEE-OOOOO!

Those guys are baseball homers. They have to pay the bills too. I would write glowing things about my boss and job too instead of focusing on what could undermine the game and cost me my job.

Smarmy, sorry. Like Craig Biggio I only know one speed: Full tilt boogie!

Seaborne, impersonating my wife will get you nowhere. She's an excuse factory as well.

AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! You guys are still arguing about Craig Biggio??!?! There are only about a couple thousand more players to discuss. If any one player goes for more than 10 posts.....its too much. move on.

Biggs just keeps coming up. No one is budging. I don't think he is a hall of famer, and Bee and Chi thinks he is. I hope none of the cheating bastards get in, Bee and Chi think let the "innocent ones" in. Other than that all is right with the world and with me.

Whoa there pod'ner. This has nothing to do with being innocent or guilty to me. And I'm certainly not on my high horse suggesting that I should even be the judge and jury on that. I would be neither surprised nor moved to change my position on Biggio if he admitted to trying steroids along the way. Same as my post regarding Ripken. God knows I've downed a few aspirin and a pot of coffee to make it to my job and through my appointed rounds at work after a night on the pints.

Here's another confession: As a writer, both technical and sports scribblings, I've even resorted to using both a dictionary and thesaurus to complete an assignment. I'd say those are 'performance enhancing products' for a scribe.

Now back to our feature Craig Biggio Rides Again!
BiGGGGGG-GEEEEEEE-OOOOOOO!

biggio makes the hall. no doubt about that

[reno cool]

Pedro runs circles around Clemens during the same time frame. Clemens was good but not dominant like Pedro. Take Pedro's prime years versus Clemens years before he left for Toronto. No contest.

Pedro wasn't even around in the same time frame. Clemens was in the hof in '92. So was Griffey. They were the most dominant players in the game.

[ryanXL977]

griffey wasnt in the hof in 1992, but i agree with the rest

[coldhardfacts]

Barring any proof that they took steroids, both Biggio and Suzuki should be lock HOFers.

Agreed.
