    Mike, Good points about the whole Bonds situation. I feel that it's really similar to the OJ case. Tons of circumstantial evidence, but they're missing the smoking gun. As for Mike Schmidt's book, he can go jump off a cliff for all I care. I lost any remaining respect for that man several...

    I couldn't agree more. I am sick and tired of this same shit every year. What are the pitchers doing in the offseason (nothing)? It's the same fiasco every year, and every year, they swear that they know nothing. Why is that the Cubs have 2-3 players like this every year, while other teams have...

    From Cubs.com Nothing more needs to be said in my book. The HOF is so screwed up in my book that it's approaching the joke that is the "Rock & Roll Hall of Fame". They went through years of letting just about anyone in, and in order to correct for their errors in the past, they are...

    The shame of it all, is that I assumed O'Neil was already in the HOF. I was absolutely shocked to hear that he was on the ballot, let alone that he did not make it. A truly sad day for baseball, and I have lost a tremendous amount of respect for the HOF in Cooperstown. I have long wanted to...

    That is horrible! Even if they felt that his statistics were not worthy, what this man did for promoting racial equality in baseball, and his tireless efforts after he was retired earn him a spot. Truly shameful! I went to the Negro League Baseball Museum in Kansas City a couple of years ago...

    I SERIOUSLY doubt that Sosa is retiring. His ego is WAY too big to retire only 12 homers shy of 600. I'm a huge Cub fan, but my tolerance for Sosa ran out a long time before he finally left. He's been harping about 600 homers for 5 years now and if he suddenly gives up then I'd be shocked...

    That's a shame what has happened to the Marlins. Two Championships and they had a very solid team of youngsters and the area doesn't appreciate it. You can almost hand the east to the Mets right now barring something major, especially if Furcal leaves the Braves. What the hell are the Yankees...

    This is kind of fun! If I were commisioner: [list=1]Eliminate the DH (This is the most ridiculous rule in all of sports - I'm surprised the Basketball hasn't adopted it for free-throwers - We all know that Shaq could use the help)Enforce the batter's box! I'm tired of seeing batters with their...

    N.L. MVP to Pujols:frowning: It's obvious that there extra points were awarded to the player who went to the post season. Pujols is a great player and certainly earned the award, but Derek Lee had better stats in nearly every category.

    It's looking like the Cubs are prepping to make a run at Rafael Furcal. That would be a nice addition to the team, and fix the lead-off problem, especially if Nomar wants to re-sign and play OF.

    What no CUBS talk? No problem, I'll get it started. They have some obvious large holes in the outfield, and in the bullpen. They let Burnitz go (No big deal), but resigned Todd Walker and Glendon Rusch, I think both signings smell of good trade bait. Walker is a very solid if slightly weak...
