So...no one gets into the Hall of Fame this year, other than the Vets Committee choices...voters apparently wanted to make a point about the alleged steroid users on the ballot...and there were a lot of HOFers that agreed with the choice of the voters...and I used to sort of agree, but now I have some serious reservations about the creditability of baseball in regards to the HOF, anyway...

First off...the powers-that-be still have a wild hair stuffed somewhere about Pete Rose...yeah yeah yeah...I KNOW he bet on baseball, but he admits it fully, and he did when he was a manager, not a player...that time when he got all those hits, remember MLB?...and since there are casino ads on baseball broadcasts...and signs about casinos in some ballparks...isn't it time that those of you who believe Pete committed the ultimate sin come down off your hypocrisy and start thinking about righting the wrong?

Now...you, I, and anyone who has seen the before/after photos of Barry Bonds know he HAD to be doing something...are there exercises that increase your head size that much?...but all he did, other than be a total ass to people, is lie to Congress, a crime that apparently isn't all that bad anymore...and as far as Roger Clemens goes, he never tested positive, either, and he was exonerated in a trial...so if there is not a shred of proof that these guys did anything wrong...can you really keep 'em out?  Other than Sammy Sosa, who doesn't have the overall numbers or career highlights to make it anyway...and Rafael Palmiero, who lied, then was found to have lied...keep him out, too...

So MLB's mucky-mucks...get off your collective butts and fix the Pete Rose situation...and Hall of Fame voters...stop thinking you're holier-than-thou...and vote the way you should...not because you have to "save" the integrity of the game...but because those who deserve the Hall should get the Hall...
