Well, hopefully Heyman's blind view of JB will not matter soon anyway. Baggy has dropped some in the voting, but we all have less than two weeks to hopefully let out a collective sigh as he rightfully is voted into the hall.
Did the ballot tracker stop working for anyone else? First it asked me to login to my Live account then said this item is no longer available.
Here's the new link... https://onedrive.live.com/view.aspx...=file,xlsx&app=Excel&authkey=!AAAsz3uDsmqy_Vw
Well that explains his butt hurt when the poll was made earlier. I guess his earth shattering reveal was thwarted by the internet majority who expected the cranky old fart to do just what he did.
They should take away his vote. I don't get this at all. Now, if there is a year where you strongly feel like there is no one worthy of the hall, by all means don't vote. There are hall worthy players to vote for, though. He may try to sell that line of thinking, but I call bs. Just looks like he's an a-hole.
Pudge has fallen sharply like I assumed. Down to 80.5%. I definitely think he will fall short. Bags is down too, but still safe. Going to be so close for Vlad and Hoffman, but I think they make it in despite being slightly under 75% so far.

So yesterday I was listening to Josh Innes, I know kill me now, and he had that New England writer who hates Houston. Anyway, he said he didn't vote for Bagwell but he will be in the hall of fame this year. tldr; start celebrating
Can't even begin to say how cool it is that you've put so much time and effort into educating these guys and helping Baggy
Without Viagra, my baseball dick cannot get any harder. My favorite player, ever. Bill Doran #2. Wanna know why Clemson won? The Great Bill Spiers is a coach. Bama didn't stand a chance. http://www.jsonline.com/story/sport...-spiers-back-clemson-football-coach/96164190/
LOVED Spiers as well Buck. He was the punter at Clemson He played MLB He's a scratch golfer Impressive!
@Hey Now! What's Shi Davidi's deal with Bagwell. He voted Bonds/Clemens then picked Jeff Kent and several other lesser players and no Bags ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
After some google-age, I found an article from last year's HOF vote where he talks about his criteria. Some of it's just stupid ("my policy is once someone is on my ballot they stay on until either election or their eligibility expires") but he seems to also be making an effort to have more pitchers. I think it was fangraphs recently who had an article that said basically a lot less pitchers are going to get in the future because their stats are being compared to a lot less offensive era and are not matching up.
Dropped on his head as a child? No idea. I've tweeted to him several times to ask but he's not very active.
I'm thinking it will just be Bags and Raines...and there will be little to no coverage of the HOF this year.
