Bonds was a bigger **** to reporters, also black. Also hat size grew by 2 inches during career.

Edgar not getting in is some bull****. Can’t see him not getting the votes next year, though.

Clemens and Bonds appear to be stuck.

eh, 4 got off the ballot, edgar probably gets in next year and only Johan should've gotten 5% who didn't so not the worst outcome. Sure bonds/clemens nonsense is still going on but that's not gonna change till the butthurt guys aren't eligible to vote anymore.

2 votes were lost in the mail and thus didn't count. Both were edgar/clemens/bonds voters.

2022 mostly just has arod. The butthurt will be high there too. Ortiz is probably close, they overlove their bos/nyy guys.

Not to rehash the Papi and Edgar thing, but Ortiz will be in 1st ballot.

I'm confident if ortiz played his whole career elsewhere he never gets in.

I get to be tilted at 3 of the next 4 ballots.

2019: How stupid high of a % Mariano gets.
2020: How extra stupidly high of a % Jeter gets.
2022: How Ortiz even sniffs the HOF.

I'm fine with Clemens, Bonds, McGwire and the other cheaters never getting in but how about when Peyton Manning's time comes? The guy had HGH sent to his house at a minimum. LeBron? Does anyone believe he just looks like a NFL DE, plays 15 years, never gets hurt and is at the top of his game now with no PED's? Brady playing at an insanely high level at 40 and BB just happens to not like his trainer and bans him from the facilities? That has roid use written all over it. Cheaters everywhere

Jeter drawing live to be the first unanimous vote, which would drive me bonkers.

And conversely, JEETS' post-retirement stint with the Marlins here will probably cost him any chance he had at 100%, thankfully

Pretty outraged that this new regime wants to remove that ... thing from left-center
Like is there any other reason to care about that team at this point? gtfo

Already looking forward to haters being mad at the Ortiz indictment. It'll be fantastic.

The Angels haven't played at Busch Stadium in the 6 years since Poo hole left and again won't play there this year. What type of ******ed scheduling is going on?
