Sox sign Jenrry Mejia...

[harmony]

Hint: Take “Starters” next time.

 

Bigger Hint: His name rhymes with Cyst Kale

 

Really Big Hint: It’s Chris Freakin’ Sale!!!

 

Now guess again...

Can't get anything past notin.

Gamblers like Rose threatened the very integrity of the game. (I think Rose does belong in Cooperstown, just nowhere else near a dugout.)

 

The PED users actually might think they’re using legal supplements. The gamblers know the rule; it’s been posted in every clubhouse for over a century...

 

Agree - Imagine that (once again)

[cp176]

I'd say there is a pretty clear difference between being found guilty of using, twice. And people questioning others.

 

That said, I don't doubt most of Baseball and professional sports are juicing so I see the point.

 

It was my point and thanks for trying to see it. I do though think that you could use this perspective with respect to many things and in many different ways of life as well. I'm not going to judge any of these users and alleged users primarily because I honestly believe that the people who do the judging may not be using steroids but are likely far from perfect.

Pete Rose says , " What about me ? "

 

It's kind of a different deal. The sanctions levied on Rose were severe, but they occurred long after his playing career was over. What we're talking about here is being denied the right to play the game any more.

[BillyWilliams]

He’s playing baseball, not performing surgery on babies. Let’s have some perspective here...

 

********, it's only "perspective" since it was the sox that signed him.

 

If the Yanks signed him most in here would be outraged.

Says the man making David Ortiz milkshake cracks and somehow ignoring equal time jokes about, oh I don’t know, let’s say Andy Pettitte.

 

You probably don’t remember specifically, but even back on BDC, my stance has always been more lenient on substance abusers...

******** right back at you. First of all, if you're actually reading the posts, a number of Sox fans are unhappy with the signing. Secondly, if it was the Yankees who signed him there would be a split on that as well.

That’s really on the Hall, who made the decision not to induct banished players. A decision they made after Mays and Mantle were both briefly and unjustly banished by an extremely judgmental Bowie Kuhn...

I don't remember ignoring any jokes about Pettitte.

 

And I have no idea what your stance was on bdc. As I said, most would be outraged, you may be one of the few that wouldn't be.

I wasn’t. Plenty of others were. But I’m the one you called out...

Called me out on what?

 

I said most, not all. So therefore not much to "call me out" on............

You accused notin of ********. Jesus, you can't even follow your own posts.

Enshrine him the day after he dies.

Well, you said “most would be outraged if he signed with the Yankees.” But to my post you said, and I quote.

 

“********. It’s only ‘perspective’ since he signed with the Sox.”

 

You used my word “perspective” and called ******** in response to my post. But somehow you’re saying that just because you responded to me and quoted me, your response was directed at others?

 

Now I’m calling ********...

This is a tangent, but it really makes the The Hall of Fame irrelevant when Pete Rose, Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Jeff Bagwell, Rafael Palmeiro, and Joe Jackson aren't in it.

 

Oh, and I always thought Tony Oliva should have gotten in too

Bagwell is in.

I always thought Gil Hodges was a glaring omission.

I said that all in one reply, not sure what the big deal is.

 

You know as well as I do that even a good majority in here that are excusing it now would flip the script if he signed with the Yanks.

 

Not saying you would, but you know plenty of others would.

More glaring omission - Gil Hodges from the Baseball Hall of Fame or Jethro Tull from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

So what exactly was the ******** part of what notin said again?

[mvp 78]

 

I don't see the point in engaging with him anymore.

[Kimmi]

I have such mixed feelings on this one. The guy was an idiot and probably deserves not to play again.

 

Then again, he's still a young man, and hopefully he's genuinely sorry. Is the world a better place by giving him one more chance, or by denying him that one more chance? In real life, sad it is to say, people can kill other people and not get life sentences.

 

People deserve a 2nd chance. He got a 2nd chance and a 3rd chance, and screwed up both times. I don't think he deserves a 4th chance.

[Kimmi]

 

I don't see the point in engaging with him anymore.

 

 

Don't you think it's a good idea that Notin made this a separate thread so the people could find it?

[kenmeister]

More glaring omission - Gil Hodges from the Baseball Hall of Fame or Jethro Tull from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?

 

Jethro Tull!

 

(Also good to know Bagwell made it in)

[Slasher9]

pass on proven PED users.

hard pass on 3x proven PED users.

why did we sign this crumb????!!!

EFF you DD

[mvp 78]

I have no opinion either way at the moment.

Notin is " The Editor " . Nothing the Editor says should be considered ******** . He is just doing his job .

Something tells me you have a beef with notin.
