“Liberal” and “conservative” have actual meaning in the way that Fox News and MSNBC and people like you use it. No seriously, it’s totally true! I read it on the internet!

@philsieg

They were obviously talking about hard currency. You’re obviously talking about fiat currency. You obviously don’t know much about currency.

And now I feel disgusting because I just defended Fox News.

By the way, all of the news channels suck equally. If you think any of them care about anything other than ratings, you’re deluded.

Because Pete’s stats weren’t chemically enhanced. What would have his stats looked like if he was juiced?

Anybody who thinks that Pete threw a game (a) never saw him play in person, (b) is a moron.

I absolutely, totally, agree with your last paragraph. Keep him out of the game, but the all-time hits leader should be in the hall of fame.

We’ve all seen so many studies that show Fox News viewers are the most tragically misinformed viewers on Earth outside of your average inhabitant of Pakistan’s tribal regions…but my favorite by a long shot was the study that showed they knew less than someone who hadn’t watched ANY news for over a month.

Managers are elected by the veterans committe. They have to have been active for at least 10 years and retired for 5, or at least 6 months if they are age 65 or older.

“Keep on blasting Fox News as more and more people watch that network than CNN, MSNBC combined!! ”

So, .. more people watch American Idol than Masterpiece Theater, .. doesn’t make American Idol “better”.

But, remember views or not it’s Faux not Facts News!

He willingly broke the cardinal rule of baseball, .. the only one that is posted in every clubhouse in MLB. There is no question about is credentials as a player merely his eligibility. He knew exactly what rule he was breaking and the consequences, .. life time ban. Which means he is not eligible for the HOF making his worthiness and therefore his induction a moot point.

He broke the rule and rather than fess up he denied it for about 20 years. I’d wager a lot that had he admitted his gambling and analogized in the mid 80s he’d have been reinstated and be in the HOF by now.

Pete Rose’s transgression was significant and blatant. He’s finally taking the first step to rehabilitation. And, it’s about time. The bottom line is had they let him off the hook then how do you enforce punishment for any transgression? I’d really like to see him in the HOF before he’s dead but he’s not there now due to his own recklessness and hubris.

Simply brilliant.

I loved watching Clemens and Bonds play. And their careers tower over Rose’s. Why does Rose deserve to be in more than those two?

How is gambling on games that one is playing/managing in less of a crime than allegedly taking steroids (when said supplements were not against any specific MLB rules)?

Pete deserves to be in more than any of the juicers. Loved watching that guy play.

harold – it does not change the fact that as a baseball player he was one of the best EVER to play the game and that his betting had no effect on his numbers or his ability as a player. AS A PLAYER he should be in the HOF for all his accomplishments. to deny this is to deny the very idea of the HOF. you are honoring those that PLAYED the game true and great. gambling is in no way comparable to the cheating that today’s players are accused of.

Exhibit A in Fox's stupidity. Apparently the economic wizards there seem to think the hypothetical $1 trillion platinum coin would have to be made of...drumroll... $1 trillion dollars worth of platinum. Apparently Neil Cavuto got an F in Currency 101.

Evidence..did you read my prior posts? Did you see that Obama went on talk shows after the attack and said that is from a movie? Did you see that Obama had his UN Secretary Rice go on the talk show circut and say it was from a movie..this all happened after Obama saw the attack happening in real time..who brings RPG’s to a spontanous attack? Glad to hear the CBC is upholding the values of investigative journalism..thank God for Fox News if it wasn’t for them we would never know what the hell is going on with the Obama adminstration.

Cur68 believe what you like..once again you never answer my points..keep up the periphel bs argument..Being a Canadien I am thinking why am i even wasting my time with you anyway. Your a Socialist and you love Obama..what is your tax rate in Canada? How long does it take you to see a Doctor? You got your guy to make the US weak like Canada

Hi “Barry”. Or “Barry’s Dad” or whatever. I asked for some evidence of “cover up”. Not more drivel. Get back to me with that please. Give “Barry” a hug from all of us “liberals” here.

PS: I’m Canadian. I get my news from the CBC. They don’t have ANY evidence of a cover up and if they did they would LOVE to rip your country a new ass for it.
