I dont remember much at all. My wife and i try to do a "state" vacation every year where we pick a state and visit places throughout. I just talked to her and she's ok with NY in 2014.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 01:57 PM) I can't find the full ballot result anywhere yet - if anyone spots it, a link would be awesome. I would like to have seen Morris and Murphy get in, but definitely agree on the two that did. Also, I looked at the ESPN ballot - the 18 ESPN staff who get to vote. Barry Stanton, a news editor on the site, did not vote for either who got in. Who he did vote for: Morris, Edgar Martinez, Tino Martinez, and BJ Surhoff. Buh? BJ Surhoff?????????????

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 01:52 PM) Probably. I consider him very good, but not great. However, his numbers best a lot of other just very good shortstops who are already in. I'm kind of a HOF hardass, though. I think it should be much more exclusive than it is. I agree with you on that last point. What's sad is that there should be a lot of really good players (Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Roger Clemens) going in over the next 2-3 years, but they wont because they chose to roid up. (Ok, Sosa wouldnt have been nearly as good with the roids) I think I am going to plan a trip to Cooperstown in 2014 to see the Big hurt and Maddux inducted.

QUOTE (PlaySumFnJurny @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 01:38 PM) In a world where Barry Larkin gets 62% of the vote, that's not an impossibility. the 2012 ballot will be a suckfest, so it's possible that Larkin gets in. Here's the 2012 list

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 01:22 PM) Kinda sucks that you even had to get permission. umm... yea. long story.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 01:16 PM) Baseball twitter typo. It is actually 79.7% ah ok. that makes sense then.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 11:48 AM) She goes to Florida in the winter and you were hoping to get permission to go to Cleveland in early April........ Opening day at the Cell, not Cleveland. Sorry, should have made that more clear. (Not that the "trade" is even either way)

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 01:11 PM) I thought you needed 75% to be elected? Where the f*** is the love for Tim Raines??? I believe you are correct, unless it is >75% or top two.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 08:38 AM) My wife is going to Disney next week with some of her friends, so last night I made her a pitch: "Since you get to go to Disney World... might I be able to go to opening day?" She didnt say yes, but she was pretty close. I think I'll be going to my first opening day ever! It's official, I got the thumbs up to go!

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 08:41 AM) The crazy thing is Paulie has an outside chance at passing Frank Thomas for the Sox all time number if he can average 30 homers over the three years of his deal, plus one extra homer. i think that's reasonable to happen. I remember when Hawk said when Konerko still young that he would hit 50 homers. The closest he ever go was 41.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 5, 2011 -> 08:47 AM) So you're saying the ticket will wind up being Palin/Bachmann? no no. Just saying she'll be torn apart and an excellent lightning rod for democrats. I think the GOP ticket will have Huckabee on it.

Via TPM - I was curious on your thoughts on this.

Michele Bachmann is considering a 2012 presidential bid. Oh please do! She'll be the Palin of 2012

My wife is going to Disney next week with some of her friends, so last night I made her a pitch: "Since you get to go to Disney World... might I be able to go tothe home opener?" She didnt say yes, but she was pretty close. I think I'll be going to my first home opener ever!

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 2, 2011 -> 06:30 PM) Playing the starters the whole game in a completely meaningless game = as stupid a football move as I've seen in a while. If that was anyone but the Packers, I bet they wouldn't have played more than a half. So stupid. #1 Goal - Beat the Packers

QUOTE (buhbuhburrrrlz @ Dec 29, 2010 -> 12:12 PM) so barring some major upsets the bears would open against the saints at soldier field, then have beat atlanta in the dome to get to the superbowl? that seems to be the most likely scenario.
