http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/mlb-big-league-stew/curt-schilling-says-he-lost-hall-of-fame-votes-because-he-s-a-republican-192514435.html Playing the victim card is soooo un Hall of Fame like.
I can't believe people still believe he pitched that game in the 04 World Series without being high as a kite.
Schilling is an idiot. He didn't get in the HOF because he isn't a Hall of Famer. He's most famous for a fake injury. Well until he opens his mouth and then it's for being a moron.
The part in that article that boggles my mind is how in the hell 9% of the voters didn't have Pedro Martinez on their ballot.
I will give him being unhittable in the 01 postseason though. Cards lost twice to him by a score total of 3-1 that year.
He had electric stuff. But he was also a drama queen that was hated by almost everyone that came in contact with him.
I remember after 04 series, he was seen wearing the jersey of what ever team was playing the Patriots that week in the playoffs. Dude didn't want them to steal his thunder. He is not HoF material anyway. He was a big game pitcher, but that doesn't get you in the Hall. As for Pedro not getting 100% of the votes (and Johnson as well, I assume) just shows that some people are idiots. "No one deserves to get in on the first ballot" is their mantra and they need to have their voting taken away.
Both take the intellectual and moral high ground. Both [itch bay], whine, point fingers and have the only solution to a problem. Either political Maxine maintains the status quo while tough ting monumental legislation or shut downs. The federal level is a joke, all your doing is voting for your favorite special interest group. I still don't understand how how a self proclaimed skeptic loves a political party as much as someone loves magic fairy dust.
Who me? Did you read my link? Anyway, I am certain I have always described my political leaning as to a lesser evil. Much of what I post here is in reaction to the constant droning and beating of a conservative drum.
Surprised it took that long..... I did correctly predict that droski would be the first one to reply. He didn't in the manner I expected though. Kudos dros.
