2015 MLB Season random commentary

[Tobywan]

Seaver, Piazza, Wright, Keith Hernandez

LJ, do you think they will ever let Piazza in the hall with the PED cloud? Regardless, that he has never tested positive, been linked to an investigation or report and that the few things he admitted to in his book were at the time not banned or considered illegal and claims to have stopped cold as soon as they were listed???? I like Mike, met him several times, always gracious.



When I first saw the vote I figured for me it would be easy, not much history and in those early years no one was really here long enough to be "franchise",but, a good case could be made for Kaz, Pena, Price and even Upton, though I had a love/hate relationship with him. I can't imagine how hard it is for teams with so much history to nail down just four.

I think he'll get in eventually. His vote numbers have been trending upwards, and as you said, there's no evidence that he ever did anything wrong. In fact, the only person who seems to really keep tooting the "he did steroids" trumpet is this ex-NY Times reporter Murray Chass who bases his whole argument on seeing Piazza with bacne in 2005 or something.

For me, being a 20-something Mets fan, it'd be a joke to imagine a hall with Piazza. I've lightened my stance on the Bonds/Clemens' of the world too, but for a guy who has provided no real reason to believe he cheated to be kept out on speculation is a bad precedent to set.

That's how I feel about Bagwell.

daniel norris and his van can suck it. he made beltran look like an absolute tool though... which isnt tough to do anymore, hes awful and needs to go away.

gregorious showing off his jeter-esque range early in the season here. so glad we brought this bum in.

Ian Kennedy left the game with an injury

[Kobe]

I hated selecting Adrian for the Padres right after the last 3 games, but I had to do it.

Gwynn, Trevor, and Randy Jones were my other 3.

Not sure what all this noise is, but I would replace Gonzalez with Ken Caminti.

Caminiti wasn't an option for some dumb reason.

And I missed the write-in section.

Maybe we should take this to the Padres forum, who do you got for your all-time lineup?

[Hammer]

beltran got a hit! an extra base hit no less! hes filled his quota til august.

[Hammer]

2nd and 3rd nobody out for teixeira, headley and young... batting 4th, 5th and 6th in our lineup. any guesses how many runs we got in?
