Metirish, you should change your screen name to Kornacki during the vote.
We can just picture you at the big board, leading us through the counts.

i view steroids as a far worse brand of cheating.batmagadanleadoff wrote: ↑Tue Jan 02, 2024 3:37 pmAs it should be. I wouldn't vote for him. I'd vote for the steroids guys a million times over before I'd vote for Beltran. He's lucky he's not banned, like Rose or Shoeless Joe. He's a cheater.
to compete with bond, clemens, canseco, etc, a player must sacrifice his health, by injecting his body with dubious, illegal substances. a young player would be tempted to do the same, to stay on a level playing field. that type of cheating destroys lives.
to compete with beltran's brand of cheating, a player must.... uh.... be more clever? gasp! maybe... learn electrical engineering...? beltran (supposedly) built a better version of the same kind of mousetrap many MANY other teams had, and had been developing over years. throughout the history of the damned game in fact. with, of course, the knowledge and resources and consent of team management. and everyone on the damned roster. he tipped the scales of a skills competition by employing, well, a different kind of skill. at least the games weren't decided by dumb luck, amirite?
it's not even close to steroids ruining the game and ruining people.
is max scherzer ineligible for the hall because his hand was really sticky that one time?
and are the giants not still the winners of that one pennant?
keeoing beltran out, especially while casting a vote for arod or manny, is preposterous.

He fucking cheated. What he did is no different than than if the Astros planted bugs and surveillance cameras in the visitors locker room and dugout. Or a listening device in the pitcher's mound.

I have to wonder why Peter Schmuck hasn't changed his name.

It strikes me that selecting the full option of 10 guys and none of them being Joey Mauer is unusual.
