 Re: 2012 Baseball Free Agency Thread
.263 and .273. Grand total of one gold glove combined between the two.
And Bonds and Clemens should be in.

Because I'm right about sports and you guys aren't?  We could all sit around stroking each others cocks and agreeing with each other about everything... and actually, often i do agree with much of what is said about sporting topics here... with some of you anyways. I most certainly won't belittle someone for having a differing opinion on sports though... especially when it comes to a HOF discussion.

And Bonds and Clemens should be in. At a .273 lifetime average and a Gold Glove McGwire gets in with 500+ homers. Moreover, the longer that MM works as a reputable hitting coach, it only adds to his credentials. I'd struggle with Sosa, he's got the homer numbers, but that's about all going for him. If the writers weigh the 'non-playing' aspects of the vote heavier then there's no chance he ever gets in. I think out of those 4 major players in dispute, he's the one that 100% doesn't get in. Personally, I'd vote McGwire, Bonds, and Clemons.

 Re: 2012 Baseball Free Agency Thread
Batting average isn't a good measuring stick, and gold gloves are completely meaningless.

After hanging around the DJF comments section for so long, I'm pretty surprised to see someone mention Tweeting Tuesday as an actual incentive to go to a game!

 Re: 2012 Baseball Free Agency Thread
Haha yeah, according to the promo schedule that's what it is. I guess it's appealing if you're a Twitter user, but not so much to me. Regardless, let's go Blue Jays!

Joke was old two minutes in. I hate six minute sketches with ninety seconds of material. That's why I don't watch SNL any more.
