2022 Hall of Fame ballot - Ortiz in; Bonds/Clemens NOT
While I am 100% against the steroid guys getting in I will mention one facet that makes it seem unfair to those players: steroid use probably helped baseball win back fans. So after the players and owners fuck up this season, pull down the pants and bend over, we have a new drug for you.

I agree with you. I didn't want to see him elected. I think it's a disgrace to the game. It's also a giant to the guys falling off the ballot for steroids.

Everyone has a price. That number tells me he enjoys his current situation but knows what the "offer he couldn't refuse" is. I wonder if this was 2021 if he could have been hired for 5/$50

X2 I'd also like to see some draft revisions to reward teams for being the best of the rest. It probably isn't workable but an earlier FA but only if the player goes to a team that didn't make the playoffs the previous year.

If he flames out and fails I will be the first to say, I thought he was a very good pick. There are a couple areas that are concerns, but overall I think they did as well as can be expected. He could be the guy for the next thirty years. But I doubt it. Lol

You can't keep a roster together for six years in the NFL. Most teams build in three or four. I can think they are better than their record. At all least two but more likely three wins better.

Do we have a word for something between full rebuilding and super bowl contender? This shouldn't be more than a two to maybe three year division championship caliber team.

This biggest decision of his career and he's going to make it on day 1? There is a blue ribbon committee there, use them.

So let's make this a committee of six and hire a head coach.

I'm not certain if I want this to be his first and sole decision.

Do we really want the Sox to sign a top tier or even a middle tier free agent? The sport needs those guys to go to the bad teams so they have a chance. It's what the player's want also. Force those cheap teams to open their checkbooks and sign some talent away from teams that are contending.

Cease hired Boras as agent
The owners are making too much money. The sport needs more agents like Boras.

Take the NRA sticker and put it on your car. Let's folks know you're armed and won't play the victim. ? You could hire yourself a bodyguard for a couple days. Cheap insurance.

HOF voting/discussion getting increasingly vitriolic/polarized
I look at the Hall of Fame as the place that baseball celebrates all that is great about the game and honors people that advanced the game forward. I don't see why they should honor anyone that shit on the game.

I isolate the vowels first. Most five letter words follow one of two consonant/vowel patterns. c v c v c (polar) Or cc vv c (dream) The curse of being an English teacher. Both my boys and girls varsity won today. Fun day.

I was taking with one of our coaches and asked how they can spend so much time breaking down film. To understand if the Bears could put in motion the same game plan you have to analyze position by position why it worked then ask do the Bears have the personel currently on roster. It's impressive how much time football coaches spend in this sort of work.

I'm wondering what are the range of options and what I feel is fair. Leagues have forced sales of teams before. I'd start with the end of ownership. I can't imagine anything less to repair the franchise.
