Dontrelle Willis??? really cubs?? Dontrelle Willis? if this were say 2003/2004 then i am all for it...but in 2013??? Dontrelle Willis??? its a minor league deal yeah...but...come on!! Dontrelle Willis? It's a Minor League deal with an invitation to spring training. Nothing too ridiculous. Who knows, maybe he'll end up as a pinch hitter. He was always a fantastic hitting pitcher.

I just hope we have someone else win it for a change- the Giants and Cardinals win too damn much.

Baseball Think Factory collected all of the published ballots from actual hall voters (84 in total - about 15% of all voters) and based on those ballots no one will get in. Biggio lead with 71.4% of the vote, followed by Bagwell at 69%. Piazza, Raines, and Morris topped 60%, and no one else got over 50%. Bonds and Clemens were included on the same number of ballots (46.4%). You can always count on the BBWAA to try to make themselves the story. f***ing self-righteous assholes

I just hope we have someone else win it for a change- the Giants and Cardinals win too damn much. The Cardinals only one two world Series since 82. Making the playoffs is a different story. But in St. Louis it's all we have had for the longest time. If your complaining about them. What about the Yankees who always make the playoff and or a while always won the title. They win there divisons and most teams that are expected too be good do that.

Kosuke Fukudome is back on his feet...and back in Japan, as the newest member of the Hanshin Tigers of the Central League. www.japantimes.co.jp/text/sb20130106j1.htmlHe returns to where he played high school and corporate ball for 5 years. Pretty neat find.

Mark Faller of the Arizona Republic is the one who submitted the blank ballot.
And he is going out of his way to let everyone know that he submitted a blank ballot

And he is going out of his way to let everyone know that he submitted a blank ballot Yup to use wrestle jargon, he is trying to get himself over and become a big name. Obvious its terrible mindsets like this that make it hard to be invested into the hall of fame.

Baseball now has its "Brett Favre, he's not afraid to throw an interception. That’s one of the things I most admire about him." moment. Rickey Henderson, he's not afraid to get himself thrown out on the basepaths. That's one of the things I most admire about him.

I'm the the Board President of a fantasy baseball league. There is one team that needs an owner. It's by far the best fantasy baseball league I've ever been in. It's a contract league with a minor league system that allows each team to have 10 minor leaguers.
There are 22 starting positions. The startng positions are starting rosters consist of: C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, 3 OFs, 3 Utils, 3 SPs, 3 RPs, 5 Util Ps.
Scoring will be rotisserie style. The scoring categories are the following:
Batters: Batting Average, Total Bases, Runs, Home Runs, RBIs, Stolen Bases, On Base %, Slugging %, and Strikeouts.
Pitchers: Wins, Losses, IP, Strikeouts, ERA, WHIP, Total Bases, Holds, and Saves.
Due to a health issue it's looking like we might have to replace someone and the league is in the middle of its off season schedule. The team is is excellent shape IMO.
If you're interested shoot me a message.

Wow. Raines should have been in long ago, but I'm at least happy that his percentages have been exploding lately. That said, this idiot voter should have his rights revoked.
That's almost as bad as people voting for Schilling for a lack of PED use, yet NOT voting for Piazza for a lack of evidence that he DIDN'T use.
Also, for people voting for Jack Morris because he 'pitched to the score'. That is the stupidest argument I've ever heard for anyone.

Jon Heyman is actually waiting for Piazza to write his book before he makes his decision on him.

I feel awful for all the players who deserve HOF inductions yet won't because of these self-righteous dipshits. Especially Mike Piazza. There isn't the least bit of evidence he ever used PED's. But he's losing votes because some guys somewhere think there's a possibility he might've despite complete lack of proof or even circumstantial evidence he used.
At least if they said he was a mediocre defensive catcher, that's based on something that you can make a case for. Anyone who says they're not voting for him based on phantom PED's deserves to have their voting privileges revoked.

Honestly, outside of Mike's noodle arm (he really couldn't throw runners out for his life lol) he's not that bad of a defensive catcher. A lot of the pitchers really liked his calling game and he blocked the plate pretty well.

This is getting ridiculous. That said, I'm so excited for 1 pm to get here tomorrow. This is literally one of my 3 - 5 favorite days of the year.
