The Baseball Writers fail to elect anyone to the HOF

I don't understand how Biggio failed to make it.

If no one reaches 75% why not give it to the 1 player with the most votes after this, seems weird to me.

I'm meant to be at this year's inductions. However, I'll probably give it a miss and try to attend the Maddux/Glavine (and maybe Frank Thomas) inductions in 2014.

If anyone doesn't vote for Maddux they should have their BBWA membership and voting rights withdrawn immediately.

The Braves are gearing up to challenged the Natinals in the NL East.

Earlier this off-season they signed BJ Upton, now they've traded for his brother Justin



Who's next ?............. their sister, Kate ?





With Justin and BJ now joining Jason Heyward in the Atlanta outfield, its "Up, Up and a Hey" for the Braves

It's just not right 



The Evil Empire's "no facial hair" policy means that Youk doesn't even look like himself

Ouchy, hopefully they take Soriano off the Cubs hands for a large chunk of his contract...

The Highlanders are the only team where Soriano would look like an up-and-coming youngster
