Is he/she parodying the baseball media and blogosphere making big news out of a minor story because news is slow? Or is she/he being a Yankee snot who thinks any player who never played in an All-Star Game is a joke? Is it too meta for me to unnerstand?

I think the conversation for greatest catcher of all time begins "What do yo think of Bench?" If there's another name in the conversation, it's surely Josh Gibson.

Under reported, but it's not like other professional sports leagues didn't practice segreagation and de facto bans on African Americans. Baseball's black eye in this regard was little different from society's. Perhaps the same can in some sense be said of 'roids.

Funny, or a prime example of the sniggling contempt you fall into as a Yankee fan (and are way too prone to as a Mets fan)? http://johnsterling.blogspot.com/2013/01/its-almost-happy-hairston-day-in-new.html

And again, please complete by naming another Met.

Wunnerful. I don't know how I feel about the roiders. I think they'll eventually get in and that won't upset me to the point where I threaten to walk away from the game or anything. I nonetheless enjoy Clemens getting his comeuppance. But I know that worm always has the potential to turn on Piazza. I just really don't like Tim Raines on the outside and I think he and Biggio are unambiguously excellent candidates, and I'd hate to see their candidacies hurt by this confusion. Justice delayed is justice denied and all.

There's no reason to scream. That's, of course, not the opinion I'm speaking of.

Well, others have different years selected, but several seem to be doing just this. The opinion stated as fact continues to be disappointing.

But we forget to include names of the next Met.

No, you don't know. Exactly the logic you decry there.

Which roid users are in the Hall of Fame?

Well, what is "most wins in the 80s" though, but an understanding that meaning is achieved when numbers end in zero. Nobody gives a crap who had the most wins between 1953 and 1962. He claims to want greatness rather than accumulation, then tries to sneak Jack Morris through on a technical achievement he pulled off largely by staying healthy, playing for a good offensive team, and... accumulating.

You may remember "Reel Around the Fountain" occasionally played at Shea when Danny Heep came to the plate. Heep is a huge Morrissey nut, and up until recently landing a hitting instructor job, spent most of his available time as administrator of Blacker than a Thousand Midnights --- the most comprehensive Morrissey fan site on the World Wide Web. How about that Roger Mason?
-
Morris also played keyboards for Ace of Base or something.

That took a lot of good research and fact-checking. Need another Met.

Without an explicit retraction? That's pathetic.

This post title seems like something from the Indie Band Album Generator.

The New Mets Finances Thread - v.2012 Offseason

The Second Spitter wrote: Edgy MD wrote: Second Spitter, does that correctly characterize your statement? Something like that. In addition, the Mets and Cyclones were both named as defendants in Picard's lawsuit. There was an implication they were using money from baseball operations to invest with Uncle Bernie. I don't have a copy of the lawsuit handy; perhaps bmlo does. I also seem to recall some discussion surrounding Bonilla's buyout being invested in such a way. It seems clear to me that they were using money from their investments to support baseball operations. -
After Les Rohr's MLB career flamed out at 23, he continued for several years in the PCL and Mexican League, pitching under the nam "Dutch Chapperal." Terry Leach?

2. Jack Morris: He defined workhorse and ace in the '80s and early '90s, yet he remains as controversial a non-steroid candidate as there is. I was there in the eighties and he never "defined" ace, as can be surmised from his zero Cy Young Awards. In almost any season of their respective careers, four out of five GMs I just made up in my head would have taken Dave Stieb (1.4% of the vote in his only year on the BBWAA ballot) over Morris. Frank Viola and Bret Saberhagen --- these guys defined ace. Seriously, what was he paying attention to? I can't allow his vast accomplishments to be re-evaluated downward by a new emphasis on different numbers. ERA? Personally, i found the long-form column, including his torment over the ballot compelling. But come on, use a reasonable and consistent standard and at least you'll get someplace. (Craig Biggio wasn't great? From 27-33, the guy was a war machine.) Somebody is confusing greatness with glamour. I think I need to pick another Armando fight with him.
