I need a favor from a DUer in the Los Angeles area

[Blue_Tires]

There's this sportswriter (and I use that term loosely) named Ken Gurnick who covers the Dodgers and votes for the Baseball Hall of Fame...I need one of you all to find him and punch him in the face as hard as you possibly can...I mean really turn his lights out; with a few chiclets on the floor...

Thanks in advance...

1. Can we get an explanation?

I frequently feel the same way about Jayson Werth Stark and especially after his whiny column about his HoF ballot he wrote yesterday.

2. He left Maddux off the ballot...

and only voted for Morris...

I personally don't even care for the Braves or Maddux, but as a baseball fan I'm burning hot about now....

[Chan790]

5. Oh, I would be too.

I think Morris belongs in and probably isn't going to make it here in his last year of eligibility...but Maddux is arguably not merely the best of a generation but perhaps among the best of all time.

Even where his numbers were less great than others (never being a strikeout pitcher or a guy who amassed shutouts), few pitchers were able to singularly shutdown a lineup like Maddux, jamming hitter after hitter after hitter into groundouts. It was mechanical to watch; boring as shit but effective.

11. Jayson Werth the player?

I didn't know he had a ballot.

12. No sorry, my confusion Jayson Stark the writer for ESPN. n/t

3. I paddled into the lineup at El Porto this morning but could not find him.

It's just as well, the box of chiclets I tucked in to one of my booties got all melted and stuff.

4. There are some writers who think NO ONE should go in their first year

on the ballot...I think that's ridiculous...but maybe he always does this...

[Chan790]

6. No. I went back and read the column.

He thinks nobody except Morris deserves to get in and every player who played even one game during the "PED era" as he called it should be ineligible. It's a ridiculous dick position. I'm all for keeping out the cheats...but he wants to tar people who have never been suspected even, for the era they played in.

That'd be like saying nobody from the 1970s should get in because some players took uppers and bennies.

7. Then he's a real d**k...

Roids were widespread, but absence any evidence, you can't paint everyone as dirty. Like I said, a real d*ck.

[Chan790]

9. Correction: He didn't say "ineligible" he just said he wouldn't vote for them. n/t

[joeybee12]

10. He's still a dick...just for that...nt

8. You want we should take him to Mulholland Falls?

[Blue_Tires]
