Palmero is one of 4 players EVER with 3,000 hits and 500 Hrs and he only gets 11%!  This HOF voting is turning into a joke.  I believe most of the players from that era were "using" something,  take the best players and move on.

Palmero, McGwire, and Bagwell all got less than 50%.  The voters have penalized the "suspected" steroid guys.

Bert Blyleven and Roberto Alomar were the only 2 inductees.

I don't think there is anyway he gets in on the 1st ballot.  The voters have been tough on the guys with the steroid cloud on their name.  His numbers don't really compare with some of the other HR hitters of his era. Career stats-  15 years .297 ba    2,314 hits    449 Hrs     1,529 rbis

Bagwell is up for the 1st time. Does he get in?

Pearland wins!

I guess that ET doesn't know the clock is running out

dumb play on 3rd and long

Stupid play! The coaches let him hear about it.  ET is about to win this game.

22 yard FG is NO GOOD!  ET needs to go 80 yards with 1:37 left

FG attempt coming up

Pearland is gonna pull off the upset

Manziels stats vs.  Steele 34-42  427 yards 6 Td's    130 rushing for 2 Td's    Tivy had 572 total yards, Johnny had 558 of them . Walsh vs. Steele 9-17  91 yards 1 TD  2 ints      123 rushing 1 TD 1 fumble

[quote name="adminbaberuth" post="935919" timestamp="1292731664"] On the road, describe? [/quote] Trick play.  The center snapped it and no body moved but 1 reciever.  The offensive lineman and backs were all standing up looking at the sidelines when they ball was snapped.  55 yard TD pass

Wow what a play!

A&M is going hard after Texas Tech RB commit Kenny Williams, and the word is that he will switch his commit and end up in Aggieland.  If Fred waits too long, A&M may not have a spot for him.  Lamar showed no real effort to run the ball last year.  They scored their 1st rushing TD in the last game of the season.  His talents would be wasted there IMO. He will probably end up at SFA

yeah, SportCenter says he is going to the Phillies

Time?

[quote name="bullets13" post="929374" timestamp="1291921373"] i hate to say this, but there needs to be a salary cap.  it's getting out of control.  i don't usually deal with this, but for once there's a marquee pitcher that likes Texas, and they like him back.  so is he going to sign with them?  probably not after the yankees offer him a 7-year deal for around 150 million bucks.  i'm tired of watching the yanks and sox doing all they can to buy championships. [/quote] Texas not having a State income tax could help the Rangers.  They can pay him around $120 mil for 7 years and it would be pretty comparable. Plus the cost of living in Texas is WAY less, and the Yankee fans spit on his wife.  Hopefully the Rangers can take advantage of all of this and keep him in Texas.

[quote name="BOSoxfan4life" post="929522" timestamp="1291934254"] What bothers me is the revenue sharing, when a team get 60 Mill or so a year and only spends 40 million for players.  OK I’ve always had a problem with people complaining about what another team spends on any certain player, or their total payroll is higher than another team. Here’s my opinion…. I think that ANY team could grow their fan base and income by doing the same thing the Yankees have done in the last 8-10 years. I hate hearing about “small market” teams not having a chance to sign any of these players. That is total crap. Just step up, get off your checkbook and write the check. As soon as a small market team would do this a lot of things would happen in turn to pay the players salary….most likely you will sell more tickets, more luxury boxes, jerseys, beer, hotdogs AT EVERY GAME. People would come to see your team more often. Right? Maybe some mid-Market teams should jump on the Smart Spending Train [/quote] I would like to agree with what you say, but Tampa has had a very good team over the last few years and still had alot of games with only 10,000 fans showing up.  There is really no amount of money that the Rays could spend that would fill that place.  I do think there should be a Salary Cap as well as a minimum salary.  Some of the most profitable franchises are the ones that don't spend money, but get plenty from the Yankees & Sox in revenue sharing.  The league should make the teams at least spend what each team is given by the "rich" teams each year. There are very few "Roger Clemens" types that will sell out the stadium every 5th day.  Not many times can you see a Homegrown, future Hall of Famer that is still one of the top pitchers in the league.
