I read most of the article, but didn't see anything definitive. :dunno

It doesn't really matter, though. We all know betting on your team (to win only) is inexcusable, but taking roids is just a slap on the wrist. :crazy


Bud Selig should be banned from life. :chaingun What a disgusting excuse for a human being.

Pete Rose is a tremendous douche bag who doesn't ever deserve to get into the HOF. That's a sure bet.

He is certainly a douche (like many HOFers, I'd imagine), but he's better than most of the players currently in the HOF.

I wonder how many days that guy spends at Caesars Palace signing autographs for $20 a pop. He was there when I went to Vegas and I've a couple of other friends go on separate occasions and they said he was there when they went :lol:

You misunderstood. I don't give a fuck if he's better/not better than current players in the Hall - irrelevant.

He broke the cardinal rule, bet on the game as a player and a coach - he's out for life. :wave2

Sure, that's why Bud is a worthless POS and bad for baseball. Anyone who thinks betting on yourself to win is worse than the most blatant cheating possible is a moron.

Think you should brush up on your MLB history b/c Rose was banned by Bart Giamatti not Bud Selig.

Pretty sure Rose didn't bet on "himself" to perform individually either, he bet on the Reds as a team to win/lose.

Yes, I know who originally banned him. I agree with your second point. That's what I meant. My point stands.

Ok just checking, and yes - Selig was/is garbage but that's another topic.

If your beef is with the Cardinal Sin of baseball then idk what to tell you. :dunno
