I saw some exit polls that Heyman linked on Twittter....projections for Piazza were at 60%- 65%.....the thinking is he will get in next year.......I mean, this is utter bullshit....so, if those numbers are close was he then punished because he played in that era but we'll let him in next year, but not punished like a McGwire? Some of these writers must think they are the be all and end all of things.

Where do the FOX exit polls have Piazza?

From the Chass piece For some reason, the news media have not talked about the former catcher and steroids the way they have talked about Bonds, Clemens and Sosa. When I worked for The New York Times, I tried more than once to write about Piazza and steroids, but the baseball editor said I couldn�t because his name hadn�t been linked to steroids. I can link his name to steroids, I countered, but I had to wait until I started this Web site to talk about Piazza�s acne-covered back, a generally accepted telltale sign of steroids use. Piazza�s passionate fans ridiculed me for that assertion (and surely will again) and ignored the fact that Piazza�s back cleared up as soon as baseball began testing for steroids. A book for which Simon & Schuster paid Piazza an advance of $800,000 or $750,000 had been scheduled for publication next month, but there�s talk about a delay because of a dispute between the publisher and Piazza over the subject of steroids and their presence in the book. The Hall of Fame wouldn�t look too good if Piazza were elected next week, and then his book came out with his admission that he used steroids. But maybe the Hall doesn�t care about Steroids. This was a headline on its Web site the other day: For some reason???? So, he is indicating that Piazza is going to drop a steroid blockbuster is his book? It's Murray Chass, I know.

Michael Stanton could probably be had for a lot less.

Sad news Report: Former Major Leaguer Ryan Freel Commits Suicide At Age 36 Former utility player Ryan Freel, who broke into the majors with Toronto in 2001 and played the majority of his eight-year career with the Cincinnati Reds, committed suicide today.

He shows up in the Deadspin archives on a few occasions which you can see here. We'll update this post as more information becomes available.

It's really much ado about nothing. I imagine if Dickey was featured in the montage then the Mets would be getting grief for being assholes for showing a player they had just traded.... Mets Brass Rub Fans the Wrong Way with Dickey Highlights
