No Hawk, Omar is not a first-ballot HOF.

sure he is

THEY DIDN'T GIVE A RUN BACK!

So far so good for Gavin.

Sox 2-0 thru 2.....................Hawk says it has been 6 years since back to back wins in Toronto

No Hawk, Omar is not a first-ballot HOF.

 

With the steroid stuff, he sure is.

THEY DIDN'T GIVE A RUN BACK!

weird

THEY DIDN'T GIVE A RUN BACK!

:headbang

 

sure he is

 

There are a lot of people who don't think he is a HOF, period. Let alone a first-ballot HOF.

sure he is

 

I don't think Omar was quite good enough in the field to get in on that alone.

 

Ozzie Smith was better and he hit just as well as Vizquel, but in a much different era.

Fans yelling at Rios

Adam let Romero off the hook there.

"YOU SUCK RIOS!"

 

Real creative.

I love games in Toronto because you can hear the fans talking s***. I remember a couple years ago they were giving Omar a hard time.

Rio$$$$$$$$

These empty crowds make the fans that much more audible, it has been entertaining all series.

Ozzie Smith was not a better SS than Omar and played virtually in the same era. And I've never heard anyone say Omar doesn't belong in the hall.

Good job Alex.

White Soxfirst baseman Paul Konerko hit in the cage and played catch Wednesday,and remains on track to come off the seven-day concussion disabled list Friday.

 

Manager Robin Ventura said Konerko, who remained in Chicago rather than traveling with the team to Toronto, will fly to Kansas City on Thursday to meet the team there for a three-game series that begins Friday night

Smith and Vizquel had the same wOBA at .311. But Smith was considered 10% more productive (wRC+) because league offense was much less potent in his era. These guys played 10 years apart.

Unpopular Opinion: Frank WILL NOT get it on the first ballot.

 

He'll have his one year "punishment" for being a DH, and get in on the second time.

AR no chance

Wow Alexei, none of those curveballs were good pitches.

I disagree and hope you are wrong.

I don't think Alexei is picking up the spin on Romero's breaking pitch. Just a hunch. He looked like Michael Jordan.

I've heard it discussed on the radio plenty of times and a quick google search displays numerous articles discussing his validity.
