What do Craig Biggio and I have in common?
Neither one of us was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame today.

Been on hiatus for a bit, while I scissor-lifted to my high horse in preparation for the 2013 Hall of Fame vote.
The “Steroid Era” is coming back to haunt MLB, in the form of record-obliterating superstars like Sosa, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens being eligible for Cooperstown.
Personally, I don’t care if they get in. Bonds and Clemens were Hall of Famers prior to becoming (allegedly) human pincushions.
And Slammin’ Sammy (not Sam Snead), well, he should be there based purely on comedic relevance.
Nick Swisher signed with the Cleveland Indians today.
As a New York Yankee fan, I’m glad I won’t be subjected to “Swishalicious“‘s miserable postseason flailing anymore.
I will miss the sky-point after a double against the Royals in June and the tongue-wagging though.
Anyway, his pappy Steve Swisher is probably pretty hyped up, bro.
New York will miss your crazy shenanigans.
Our final memory will be of you horrifically misplaying that Delmon Young’s humpback liner in Game One of the ALCS.
According to ESPN’s “Top 100” list, Rafael Palmeiro is a better baseball player than Ed Delahanty, who batted over .400 three times and holds a career .346 batting average.
“Big” Ed also died a sad absurd insane death.
All Palmeiro ever did was compile, perjure himself and abuse PEDs.
Advantage, Big Ed.
I think any Met fan that witnessed Tom Glavine gag up seven runs in the first inning of New York’s win-or-go home loss to the Florida Marlins on Sept. 30 2007, would argue vehemently against his inclusion to ESPN’s Top 100 list.
Old Hoss Radbourn certainly did.
“#93: T. Glavine. Milquetoast lefty with a strike zone larger than E. Gregg. Not a bride or bridesmaid but rather the groom’s ugly sister.”
The Kansas City Royals made a ballsy trade today.
For Dayton Moore’s sake, hopefully it bears more fruit than David Cone for Ed Hearn.
Pariah. Spitter. Hall of Famer. Gold Glover. Classic Met. Arizona Diamondback. Wearer of jaunty mustaches. Leveler of Excellence. Possessor of pensive looks.
Roberto Alomar was a wearer of many different hats. Including this dope San Diego Padres cap.
