If you watched the Pete Rose documentary and have any takes that don’t start with the scene where Pete is complimenting Marty Brennamenn on his wife’s “jugs” with them both standing there, then I have to wonder if we watched the same doc.

So not only was he a degenerate gambler he was also a real asshole. Nothing wrong with either, I guess, unless you would like to be in the HOF. Maybe he shouldn’t have agreed to that lifetime ban after all.
 
1- He was not shy at all when it came to Marty’s wife and that was funny AF.

2- He agreed when they didn’t have the proof as a way to passify the situation from the news. I think he trusted Bart Giamatti and when he passed that really screwed Rose.

3- They also changed the rules so that he can’t be on the ballot because they know he’ll be a unanimous shew in.

4- I don’t care what is believed or by who. Gambling is legal at this point basically everywhere and NFL players are getting caught serving small suspensions and continuing to play.

So take the integrity part of it all and toss that nonsense because Pete has no chance of ever playing or managing. By allowing him in you are basically acknowledging how special he was and he was special.

Wait, what? They're banning dudes for 6 games for gambling on sports at an NFL facility and at least a year if they bet on NFL games. Given that an average NFL career is a couple seasons long, many of these dudes are done for good.

Well, I'm counting basketball as 3 separate golds as the Lord intended.
I told my wife they should make it like gymnastics, swimming, and diving, and give out a crapload of those things... Gold for 3-point shooting; gold for FT shooting; gold for assists; etc., etc. Seemed like the Chinese won about 3/4 of their medals in diving and ping pong. :p
 
Put the man in as a player, it’s a no brainer!
I've debated this to the point of fatigue over the years, but all I ask now is, if they don't put him in while he's living, don't bother. I am 99% sure they're going to do it posthumously, and that's a shitty thing to do. Stick to your guns and keep him out, or get him in soon.
 
Hey Matt - can't remember if I asked you before
Wes Blondell fm Middlesboro was my HS best friends' step father -

Would he have been related to you & yours?

PS - not sure if you've had Ike's wings in M'Boro - they're pretty freaking good

FWIW - have a pleasant Monday air-bodah
Yes that was my Uncle. Larry’ brother. Cool man who played in a jazz band in Louisville for a lot of his life

And a few weeks ago a Padres player got a lifetime ban for betting.
 
I keep picturing wcc just sitting, staring at his phone, and absolutely seething, red with anger at the continual mentions he lobbied against…

Jefferson County schools cut bus transportation to traditional and magnet schools this year since they failed miserably last year, so some kids had fun with it:




 
Last 30 games…. poor UKO

.303.371.555

If you go back far enough, you can always make him look better than he is.

6 for his last 25 w/ 16 K's. Who strikes out 16 times in 25 ab's? He's now pulling away for the most in MLB, and leading in errors too. Sheesh.

One thing he needs to do is stop trying to switch hit. .201 for his short career and K's 39% of the time from the right side.

Hell, he may even get a double next week after a 3 for 14 skid and you'll be raving like Sadak that it was a 104 EVO.

Talking w/ amateurs.
 
Hey @cole854, let's go back to a very arbitrary and random part in the season called "opening day". Elly de la Cruz has the 5th best WAR in the NL from that time. Does that resonate with you at all? Please acknowledge.

WAR....Lol....good grief. The most arbitrarily invented meaningless baseball stat in history, and something the baseball geeks who never have faced a 95mph heater under the chin love to use as their so called "knowledge" about the game. On a team like the Reds, of course his WAR is going to be high.

Yeah...I am ranking Elly above Betts, Freeman, Ozuna, Harper, Bohm, Reynolds....sheesh.

Elly had 2 hits on a Thursday which followed a businessman's special Wednesday noon game for only the 3rd time in the last 20 years when the opposing team was above .500. Cue up the usual suspects and their MVP chants.

Here is a good read from a few years ago about it, and there are many others as well who put it in the same category as the +/- in hoops.

Roy Hobbs asking Max Mercy...."Did you ever play ball, Max?"....applies to many on here.

And all this time I though the player averages posted during games was SEASON averages, not the last 25 AB average, or what ever small sample you want to fit your agenda. What is his YEARLY average on all stats ?
I noticed you haven't replied back in the golf thread where I smacked you around. Called out a poster and telling them they didn't know what they was talking about and in the same sentence saying Kucher was trying to game positions so he can get inside the top 70 for the Fed Ex standings at NEXT weeks event. You did not have a GD clue the regular season ended this past weekend. He can't get inside the top 70, the season is OVER. But it didn't stop you from arguing with the poster saying they didn't know what they was talking about. LOL, dumbass, wannabe know it all.
