Let Pete Rose in The MLB Hall of Fame Already!!

Pete Rose said that he should have taken up drinking, or drugs, or wife beating because if he had, he'd still be eligible for the MLB Hall of Fame.  Crass?  A bit . . . But about as true and real as it gets.  In my opinion, using PEDs like steroids and HGH is worse than gambling.  PEDs get you a 50 game suspension (longer in A-Rod's case), but Rose was banned for LIFE.  He is the all time hits leader and deserves to be in Cooperstown.  Tell us what you think . . .

Will A-Rod's 211 Game Suspension Hurt His Chances For The Hall of Fame?

A-Rod was suspended for 211 games.  Mmm hmm.  Will this suspension hurt his chances of making it into Cooperstown?  Even in the steroid era, I say it does hurt his chances . . . and I believe in the asterisk.  Go to www.sportslam.net and tell me what you think if you're not already there.

Brewers Owner Offers Vouchers To Loyal Fans

Milwaukee Brewers owner Mark Attanasio is offering Brewer fans a $10 voucher for tix, food, and beverages if they come to an August home game.  The reasoning behind the generous gesture is to try and "mitigate a trying summer."  In light of Ryan Braun's recent actions, I say he should go halfsies with Attanasio.  After all, he still has plenty of money that was earned before he got caught cheating, right?  Braun?  Braun? . . . Anyone?
