Yeah, it's a fucking farce. Just the whole process when you hear from all these different clowns who have votes who just write off an entire generation of players. The same guys who, according to what they are saying now, won't vote for Jeter and Mariano.Yeah.. I am pretty pissed that Biggio didn't make it again. Even more pissed that Bagwell lost votes. Fuck the BBWA.
Wat? Do you have a source? Cause those 2 are definitely first ballot HoFers as well.Yeah, it's a fucking farce.

There may have been a little hyperbole in there, but there are more than a few writers who have said they will not vote for anyone from the steroid era. Which, to be fair, no one really knows for sure when it began, but is generally agreed upon to be within the last 25-30 years.Wat? Do you have a source?

You answered your own question. They have retards on the BBWA that waste votes onJacque Fucking Jones.Maybe I'm just not getting this. How is it that having lots of guys on the ballot who have no shot in hell of getting in (Jacque Jones, Todd Jones, Paul Lo Duca, Armando Benitez, Richie Sexson, etc.) diminish the fact that Tim Raines is one of the greatest lead off hitters of all time not named Rickey Henderson?
If Mariano isn't a unanimous 1st ballot HOF, then I don't see how any player is.Yeah, it's a fucking farce.

Some dipshit will say that relief pitchers don't belong and not vote for him. Also Ruth, Gehrig, Cobb, Aaron, Mays, and so forth were all not unanimous either so there is that.If Mariano isn't a unanimous 1st ballot HOF, then I don't see how any player is.
