MrRain422 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 It would be 2014. The HoF voting is done in January for that summer's inductions, so someone who played their last games in summer of 2008 wouldn't become eligible until later on in 2013, after the voting had already been done. Therefore their first year of eligibility for the HoF would be 2014. Link to post Share on other sites
Duck-Billed Catechist Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 White Sox signed Esteban Loaiza. With the rumored Bartolo Colon signing during the off-season, plus the possibility of Freddy Garcia--they could've had the full set! Link to post Share on other sites
watch me fall Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 Man those were the days back in the mid-90's, when the Braves had Smoltz, Maddux, Glavine, Wohlers, Chipper, Ryan Klesko ( ), Javy Lopez, Mark Lemke, Fred McGriff, Blauser...good times. Link to post Share on other sites
Beltmann Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I'm annoyed that the Brewers are on a 9-1 stretch and haven't even gained a SINGLE game on the Cubbies. That's baseball, I guess. Link to post Share on other sites

mfwahl Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Man those were the days back in the mid-90's, when the Braves had Smoltz, Maddux, Glavine, Wohlers, Chipper, Ryan Klesko ( ), Javy Lopez, Mark Lemke, Fred McGriff, Blauser...good times. I have a ball that Steve Avery, Javy Lopez, Mark Lemke, and Ryan Klesko signed. It's unconfirmable, but it was supposedly hit by David Justice in BP. There's a huge mark on it from the bat. I can't believe it could be over for Smoltz. But if he says he's in pain you know it has to be bad. That guy would still pitch if a tiger bit his arm off. Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I always liked Javy Lopez. He's one of my uncle's best friend's from Puerto Rico, so I've met him a few times. Those Braves teams were stacked in the 90's. Arguably the greatest rotation of all time. Link to post Share on other sites

Still cool that you have all those signatures, though. Klesko was always my guy. I still remember the day he was traded to the Padres. It was a sad day in the wmf household. My roommate even made me a cake because I was so depressed. Link to post Share on other sites

PigSooie Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 How does Gomes stay in the game after that? I dunno. He was bringing hay makers to the back of Coco's head. Crawford didn't get shorted either. I love how Timlin, and Casey were right in the middle of it, of course. Good times. Link to post Share on other sites

caliber66 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Huge fight in the Sox game! How does Gomes stay in the game after that? That was fucking bush league shit right there. Three guys taking swings at a guy being held down on the ground? Bush. League. On that note, what the hell was Coco doing charging the mound after getting hit in the ass?

ction Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 That fight was a good example of why Trot Nixon was so fucking awesome. If he was still on the team, I guarantee that he would have been all over Gomes. Link to post Share on other sites

Lammycat Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 That fight was a good example of why Trot Nixon was so fucking awesome. If he was still on the team, I guarantee that he would have been all over Gomes.True, but Coco faired pretty well on his own: avoided the punch (Rope-a -Dope, anyone?), landed several before beingh taken down from behind, took a bunch of sucker punches from Gomes, et al., and still managed to scamper out of the bottomk of the scrum, standing and alert. Not bad. Link to post Share on other sites
Oil Can Boyd Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 On that note, what the hell was Coco doing charging the mound after getting hit in the ass?It started the night before. Coco slid into second headfirst and Jason Bartlett "dropped his knee" which, in some circles, is one of those unwritten codes that middle infielders should not do. A few innings later Coco had a pretty hard slide into Iwamura and the Rays' manager started jawing with Coco. I was not at all surprised that there was a fight last night.

I just want to know what the hell he was doing charging after getting hit on the leg. You charge the mound when you get hit shoulder-up. You don't charge over a bruised glute.

Oil Can Boyd Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 Sean Casey is the new Trot Nixon.He's also suspended. "Three Red Sox players have been suspended by Major League Baseball for their roles in last night's brawl against the Tampa Bay Rays. Coco Crisp has been suspended for 7 games, Jon Lester for 5 games, and Sean Casey for 3 games." "MLB came down hard on the Rays for Thursday's brawl, suspending James Shields for six games, Jonny Gomes and Edwin Jackson for fives games each, Carl Crawford for four games and Akinori Iwamura for three games."
