Pete Rose's ban from baseball to be lifted?
Pete Rose should be in the baseball Hall of Fame. He is the all time hit leader and was a great baseball player. As a human being he would probably not be in anyone's Hall of Fame.I think the guy is a scumbag. I would never go near him and probably wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire. The Hall of Fame shouldn't be about that though. It is about baseball. It is the same Hall that has Ty Cobb in it. The Ty Cobb that was a notorious racist. The HOF wants to be so pure and a beacon of all that is good. It really is only a museum. It is letting politics taint its vision of the history of the game. Rose has a lifetime ban from baseball and this is what is keeping him out of the Hall. I think he bet on baseball and I think he is guilty of the more egregious, betting on his OWN games. Does this mean he should be out of the Hall of Fame? Definitely not. He was great at PLAYING THE GAME. Which is what the Hall should dictate.
Pete Rose is always around Cooperstown during HOF weekend. He is at card shows and other baseball related events, always looking to parlay his name (or autograph) into some quick cash. This is yet another reason that I think he is a dirty, scummy man. It just seems like it is always about selling something and getting paid with him. Why can't the Hall just induct him into the hall but ban him from advertising himself as a HOFer? That would be the simplest solution. I'm not positive it is doable though.
The reality is I only think Rose makes the Hall posthumously where he is finally honored but he can no longer use this label for his own personal gains and taint the legacy of the Hall.

This is why we are fat
This is why You're fat is a great blog catalogging photos of food creations that are grossly fat and in no way healthy.
One great example is this sandwich, "The Smoker". It contains a half pound ground ribeye, sirloin, prime rib patty topped with Havarti cheese, seven pieces of maple bacon, sauteed onions and smoked pepper mayo.
Or maybe you are interested in "The Royal Flush". That is just a pile of 3 sunny side up eggs, beans, red chile sauce, cheddar cheese, 4 corn tortillas and 3 hash browned potatoes.

Thanks Beautiful
Nomar returns but does anyone still care?
It was in 2004 that Nomar decided he wanted out of Boston. The sox then dealt him and won the World Series. It seems like everyone got what they wanted. I had ill will for Nomar those last couple of years, thanks to his clutch time pop ups. I enjoyed mockign him the next couple of years but at this point, who cares?
