Glad I took took the opportunity to open a discussion. Having an opinion is not a sin, even if an unpopular one. I never said the writers should be stripped of their credenials in way shap or form. I did say that that their judgemets should be questioned in the same way that the US runs it's politics as not a democracy but a democratic republic. I f there is an insistance of the writers being the be all and end all as to voting for candidates, let the fans determine who actiually has a say.
Seriously look at some of the recent ballots and tell me honestly that there arent voters who have the privelege and so called responibility of this actually have any clue. I am not saying all by any stretch but enough that their criedibility should at least be questioned.
If your local congress person (god forbid i offend anyone) said one thing and did another wouldnt you question their motives and or agenda?
I am actually ok with keeping known suspected cheaters out of the Hall if that is the case. But make it right across the board... Hate to say it but Bonds and Clemens never actually got caught of doing anything wrong. It is pure speculation and assumption. Ortiz was actually caught but thats ok, Perry wrote a frikin book and continued to do it after, but thats OK, brett didnt have too much pine tar, Whitey used gunk but no bother, Don Sutton never did anything wrong really,
If we hold some out, kick the others out!! tired of the good for some but not all mentality. Pudge, Piazza, Bagell and others in the Hall have ties but no one bats an eye.
Am just a bit tired of the hypocracy.
If they cheated shame on them, but what if everyone is wrong are we prepared to say shame on us?
