For what its worth, David Wright hits his 100th homer tonight.

Brewers minor league third baseman Russell Branyan smacked his 200th career minor-league home run Monday night for Class AAA Nashville.

I am the happiest about this one

Just saw that Pudge got to 2500 hits! Congrats to Pudge as he is a no doubt HOFer.

I don't see him in the Hall.

[NYgiantsfan5689]

i agree, i don't either. he doesn't have that stand-out quality to put him over the top

Are you guys ****ing stupid? The best defensive catcher ever who now has 2500 hits is not in the HOF? I guess 14 All Star appearances, a MVP award, 13 GGs and a career .302 BA isn't HOF worthy. The answer to my first question is yes, you guys are ****ing stupid. He is a no doubt HOFer.

I can't believe I'm saying this...

I'm 500% behind Reefer on this.

Believe it because its true

Totally agree.

No disrespect to Johnny Bench, but Pudge is just as good, if not better, than Bench, and he is in the hall. Pudge, like it or not, is a better hitter than Bench was. Although he may be faltering a little in defense, there's no denying that this guy is hall calliber. Why you would keep a guy like him out of the hall is beyond me.

John Smoltz is now the 16th member of the 3,000 strikeout club. He struck out Felipe Lopez. Congrats to Smoltz!!
