If Bonds and Clemens aren't in, there's no way these schmucks are getting in.  

These schmucks will get in ~40 years when enough writers that are coming of age now and only know a world of legalized gambling make up a super majority of the BBWAA

I think it's clear that Shoeless Joe Jackson committed the more heinous sin in intentionally throwing a game (and of course the fact that it was the world series makes it even more of a sin), yet remains a much more sympathetic figure than Pete Rose. Jackson clearly benefits from playing in an era where players had very little say in their contracts. He plead innocence but it sure seems like he participated in the fix to me. I can see why he has some support but tend to agree with @Beau Vine - fuck 'em both. Just give some extra fucks to Rose for his overall shittyness as a human being as well as betting on baseball.

@shadow_operative2.0 reminds me of the guy who was the last man standing at shaggy and would post a hundred times to himself. He yelled at ghosts.  It was awesome.

just kidding bro.  I appreciate your baseball acumen.  Truly.  Don’t always agree with it, but that’s what makes baseball so fun to watch.  Most people hate regular season baseball, but not me.  I watch or listen to parts of almost every Dodger game.  And you watch all sorts of random weekday games.  Touche. My sports commitment is UCLA football, and almost equal is Dodger baseball.  UCLA Basketball is third.  Which if you knew me means Dodger baseball is high on my list.

Always love your appearances. Even when it's to tell me I'm being a dipshit. Hope you're doing well my man.

Getting whooped by these uppity upstart A’s.  Don’t they realize their place in the league?

I threw Ohtani into a PrizePicks tonight because they were giving out over 0.5 total bases. 

I think I'm done ever betting on baseball again.

MLBtv is pretty damn good.

Been watching local market through FanDuel (Diamond sports app, was Bally, FoxSports before that, etc) and it was shit. Shit commercials, shit fill for other commercials not being shown, picture/sound aren't great. It's ok, just could be better. Like having the pregame stream cut off, and having to enter a new stream for the game.

Finally got some things situated, ya know what I mean, and now can watch through MLBtv. Same broadcast from FD, obviously.

Ho.Lee.Shit. Way better picture, sound, and stream runs right through pregame, into the game, and into postgame without having to switch. And at least their filler commercials aren't complete trash to your ears.

Hope it keeps working out.

I switched over to cards @ phil at noon. May switch to something else though, it's school day and the shrieking sound of all them kids every. single. pitch. is getting old. Good for the kids, but bad for everyone else's ears.

i just watched the stl catcher stand in the base path waiting for the throw home, which he eventually received and hence gagged out the runner by a split second, and despite the play being reviewed they still called the runner out. so i guess i have no idea how that rule works.
