Pete Rose should be in the HOF. It's a joke. Right that down son

What’s a joke? Pete Rose deserving a Hall spot? You?

Who you calling son? Little Joe?

Thanks for the session Dr Freud. I'm saying the zone is like the waiting room at the DMV.... "GTFO, STFU, LULZ" rince and repeat, yawn. The fire is gone. You can tell who's lost their edge by all the mansplaining you all hit me with last night. It was good to see some personality in here again but still way below bar for the zone. Enjoy your Swiss engineered shoes and baseball talk.

*I'm sure you or someone else will follow-up this post with more examples, explanations, and information on how great the zone still is. Good luck

I haven't been, it is at the top of my bucket list, but it has become a bit of a joke. How they talk about character being a requirement is quite funny. An all time top 5 player not in the hall is stupid.

I don't care for sportswriters being the only voter, too many are biased

It is probably getting better with the younger guys. The old guys wouldn't vote for someone because they were shunned in the locker room. And then there were those that thought no one should get in unanimously.

This really sucks

What is your point Bill?

That we don't like cold weather

 

[Behr]

I like it, I just don't like them telling me it feels like 51 when it feels much colder. Buncha lying scum.

 

[Behr]

We don't tolerate scum.

Ain't that right 114.

Veterans’ committee will let a bunch of guys in who’ve been shunned by press. I think it’s a good thing. The sportswriters have a conflict of interest in a lot of these situations. It they vote in Rose and/or steroid era guys, then they can’t write about those guys not getting in year after year. Now, some of those guys will get in and the sportswriters can write about how the veterans’ committee sold out integrity of the game, or some such nonsense. Everyone wins.

Are these actually made in Switzerland, or made in elsewhere for a Swiss company?

Got the email a day or two ago and thought the same thing.

Wore my stratus for the first time this morning. I'm not thrilled with this color but I love the shoe. Not a huge difference in the flyer but there is a difference.

On is clear that its shoes are not “made in Switzerland”, although Coppetti doesn't dismiss the possibility of Swiss-based manufacturing in the future. Like nearly all footwear producers, the company relies on contract manufacturers. They are located largely in Vietnam, where On works with three such contractors.
