yes, its that time of year again. Time to haggle over who deserves to
be voted in to the HoF.

Here are this years contenders:

Roberto Alomar
Kevin Appier
Harold Baines
Bert Blyleven
Ellis Burks
Andre Dawson
Andres Galarraga
Pat Hentgen
Mike Jackson
Eric Karros
Ray Lankford
Barry Larkin
Edgar Martinez
Don Mattingly
Fred McGriff
Mark McGwire
Jack Morris
Dale Murphy
Dave Parker
Tim Raines
Shane Reynolds
David Segui
Lee Smith
Alan Trammell
Robin Ventura
Todd Zeile

You know the rules. Voters are allowed to select up to 10 names.
Candidate need to be named on 75% of ballots.

As many of you know, i am allowed each year to cast my votes. However,
for some reasons which remain unclear to me, my votes arent actually
counted by the tabulators. I'm still working on that.


This year, i am voting for:

1. McGwire
2. Blyleven
3. Raines
4. Alomar
5. Parker
6. Lee Smith
7. Larkin
8. Dawson
9. Morris
10. Trammell

with my preference being roughly in that order.

I consider McGwire as the only no-brainer HoFer.

As an unrelated aside:

Do you need a NICE new wristwatch for yourself or that special
someone? I can get you a FABULOUS deal on namebrand watches. ROLEX,
Seiko, armitron, EVEN casio! I can get all of these and more at LESS
than 5% of retail. Dont waste your limited Christmas budget on
overpriced mall KNOCKOFFS. My friend Jimmy has a new shipment of
watches coming in this weekend and i'll be heading down to the alley
in back of Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles to take delivery. PLACE your
order now!!!

I think there is something interesting about having Rose, McGwire and Bonds
sit on the outside looking in.

> 2. Blyleven
Yup

> 3. Raines
Yup

> 4. Alomar
.....I can't put Larkin in and not put Alomar in, but his career really
landed with a thud. I still wonder if the spitting incident will hurt him at
the polls.

> 5. Parker
Really? I like Dave Parker as much as anybody, but I'm not sure he belongs
in the hall of fame. Again, the cocaine may hurt him at the polls.

> 6. Lee Smith
......hmmmm. I donno. I don't think I would vote for him, but I could be
convinced.

> 7. Larkin
yup.

> 8. Dawson
No. Fine player but I don't vote for him.
> 9. Morris
no.
> 10. Trammell
yup.

Edgar would be the only other one that I would think about writing his name
down. I don't think I would do it, but I would think about it.

Now are you talking about your HoF or THE HoF?

I thought you were the one with the pretty big HoF?
