Imagine this.........SAMMY SOSA in HOF, PETE ROSE out

[Fishhead]

How sad would that be????

[Brock Landers]

Mcgwire and Clemens, Bagwell, ETC

There are so many fukkers that loaded up to the gills with that shit its not even funny. But the entire Era from 94 - 05 or so was just totally fake.

Fish,
I don't think you have anything to worry about...

Sammy isn't getting in. Neither is McGuire or Bonds or Clemens...

Doc

[donkdown]

lol Bonds first ballot !!

[stikymess]

Would the white Sammy or the black Sammy get in?

[DrunkHorseplayer]

Sosa has almost no chance.

[dinaro7]

i like pete, rose,

[gafl]

If Rose would have come clean in the beginning instead of denying that he gambled, he would be in the HOF now. I don't think the big time juicers including Bonds will get in.

[2daBank]

its a damn shame Charlie Hustle is being froze out of his rightful place in the hall.....

[Doug]

It would be interesting if Rose got in before the gambling stuff !

He's in as a player 100%, but you can't ignore the gambling manager aspect, he broke a big rule.

[TobiasFunke]

Wont happen

[pavyracer]

Babe Ruth should not be in the HOF because he juiced on cheeseburgers.

[Chi_archie]

Put Shoeless Joe in the Hall....

[THE HITMAN]

Would the white Sammy or the black Sammy get in?

Black sammy in

[Team Ramrod]

I think Rose will get in because of all the juicers.

[2daBank]

fuk rules....there a lot of lowlifes in the hall yet all these self-righteous fuks wanna keep the all time hit leader out for some shit he did when he was manager?

I agree but we are on a gambling forum so I don't know if that affects our judgment.

The Should Pete Rose Be In the HOF is a hot button issue like the death penalty or abortion. People feel one way or the other. And you're not going to change anybody's mind.

Here's a link to the Dowd report (http://www.baseball1.com/bb-data/ros.../dowd_i.html):

For the record:
Pete Rose had bet on Major League Baseball games, including games of the Cincinnati Reds, in violation of Major League Rule 21. Rule 21(d) provides:

Any player, umpire, or club or league official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has no duty to perform, shall be declared ineligible for one year.

Any player, umpire, or club or league official or employee, who shall bet any sum whatsoever upon any baseball game in connection with which the bettor has a duty to perform, shall be declared permanently ineligible.

These are the facts and they are not in dispute...

[Team Ramrod]

at least he bet for the Reds to win

[chachi]

If betting on your own games is verboten then why is a bonus clause in a contract keyed to the # of victories or playoff rounds or whatever permitted then?

Phil Jackson could've headed to Vegas and dutched half of the $2m win bonus he had coming if/when they won, imagine the kerfuffle that would've kicked off in the media

[Grits n' Gravy]

Sammy ain't getting in.

[Chi_archie]

lots of tough decisions upcoming for hof voters

I learned a new word today !

1. kerfuffle 107 up, 12 down

buy kerfuffle mugs, tshirts and magnets
A social imbroglio or brouhaha. An organizational misunderstanding leading to accusations and defensiveness.
I spend half my time these days on tbe phone with HR, ever since Bob started that kerfuffle with his flaming e-mail to everyone in the sociology department.

2. kerfuffle 45 up, 8 down

buy kerfuffle mugs, tshirts and magnets
A minor disturbance or disagreement. Smaller than a contretemps, larger than a snag, involving more people or things than a SNAFU or a stink.
Lawton couldn't understand all of the kerfuffle over the suggestive signage at Herbert's Sherbert.
clash to-do difference of opinion stink fuss

Trouble, hassle or when a scuffle!
I need a little bit of help getting him in and out of the pool! ...should be relatively kerfuffle free.

I agree. There are some people in the hall currently that would not be allowed to be a deacon at the church.LOL As far as Rose goes I think he deserves it. Most of his peers agree that he should be in regardless. He has served his time. I think he should be banned permanantly from the game, but allowed to be in the hall. The hall is about a career achievement. His career says it all. I don't condone his actions but at the same time we need to look at it from a different perspective and allow him in based on his baseball career achievements.
