At the very least, the Chicago White Sox should have a "Buck Weaver Day" and invite his descendants as well as John Cusack.

Steph officially OUT for tonight. https://www.nba.com/news/stephen-curry-hamstring-game-5-warriors-timberwolves

One of the 3 signed agreements was following the Lock Out of 1994. No chance the MLBPA was going to agree to it, and MLB was also mostly concerned about getting an agreement itself. Indeed MLB Owners should have been more worried about it, but they were also more worried about the impacts from...

In watching ESPN last night, the BBWAA will have no role at all on passing judgment on Rose. It will be a Veteran's Committee meeting in December 2027. 16 Members. He will need at least 12 Votes.

MLB could not stop it immediately. The MLB Players Union fought it for more than a decade before it was eventually collectively bargained. Also the curators displaying the artifacts are not the ones Voting on enshrinement. Yes, that is weird. I guess Bonds fell short on at least 3 of the...

Update, Ryan Reynolds on Producing the John Candy Documentary: https://www.cinemablend.com/movies/ryan-reynolds-explains-why-hes-making-john-candy-documentary

That's not exactly the same thing. If he keeps pitching beyond 30 but without juice, his overall stats would have declined. Less than half as many Cy Young Awards & All Star games as well as no WS Rings. If he petered out at say 230 Ws overall, it becomes quite questionable that he gets...

It's pretty much accepted Joe took the dough. Maybe he was too ignorant to know the ramifications or tried anyway, but I just don't see how that goes unpunished. Having said that, under the presumption it was a "Lifetime Ban" and his life ended decades ago, I would vote Jackson into...

The career arc was somehow rejuvenated from his last 4 years in Boston before heading to Toronto. Pitchers don't just suddenly regain that much form in their mid30s without subliminal help. . https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/c/clemero02.shtml Just look at his baseball cards: His...

The Rocket without the juice isn't any more prolific than Johan Santana.

I think you have a point on the dual standard with Perry. Right or wrong though, Gaylord's accomplishments didn't rewrite the record book. Bonds, McGwire & Sosa on the other hand made a complete mockery of it and displaced names such as Ruth/Maris, Aaron & Mays from the top of the charts...

PURE SPECULATION, but I have always thought Dowd/Giamati & MLB had way more on the baseball gambling itself aspect. I find it unfathomable that he wasn't also gambling while he was a player only. I also don't believe he only bet on his own team.

I see it more as Time Served as opposed to being "absolved". It doesn't guarantee squat either, depending on if he ever gets on the BBWAA Ballot or by a Veterans Committee, either body would have to vote him in.

Unlike Rose, Bonds has already been on the HoF Ballot multiple times. BBWAA Voted. Nay.

Interesting it's been rescheduled as a regular afternoon Doubleheader starting at 11:05 AM, Central Time. https://www.startribune.com/twins-rained-out-in-baltimore-doubleheader-set-for-wednesday-with-orioles/601350752 I think it still means they get to call up a player from their Minor League...

Even more logical. Nailed it on the skipping OTAs part already.

Kegs and eggs.

Farm Aid coming to town at the Bank (in Dinkytown). https://www.startribune.com/willie-nelson-farm-aid-bob-dylan-margo-price-university-of-minnesota-neil-young-john-mellencamp/601350077

It was more fun to scour agate type in the StarTribune for each team the day the NFL Schedule was released then reading Sid's column for a breakdown.

Edwards took the momentum gained by hitting the buzzer beater to end the 1st Half and hit another gear in the 3rd Q. https://www.startribune.com/minnesota-timberwolves-anthony-edwards-golden-state-warriors-game-4-western-conference-semifinals/601345209
