I really hope the Phillies trade Thome. He will not do anything this year or next year or anything. And Ryan Howard is gonna be great. Walk-Off homer last night. 😄 They say he's gonna be the next David Ortiz. And Chase Utley is fantastic too, he's gonna be one of the best clutch hitters ever. The Phillies have a really bright future. Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, Brett Myers has been great and he's only 24 i think, Gavin Floyd i think will be really good, And Cole Hamels is one the the top rated pospects in the minors and has been great in AA.

I hate the cubs, but I hope D Lee gets the crown. U have always liked him.
On another note, who is next closest to 3000 hits? Craig Biggio is closing in, maybe next year.
I guess Rafe's been taking something other than Viagra...

i couldnt believe it when i first heard it.. there goes the Hall of Fame
i dont think he gets in easy without it. I heard a lot of guys on espn shows saying they didnt think he deserved it just because he stayed healthy and consistent. They didnt think he was an all time great. only like 4 all star games and only 1 start in them i think. Id sorta agree with them, but if he hits 600 home runs hed have to just on #'s alone.
But on stats alone, he should get in.
Over 3000 hits, maybe 600 home runs, tons of RBI's. Thats pretty crazy.
ESPN guys froget that Palmerio had somebody on his team called Cal Ripken who always got the spotlight. No wonder why he rarely got chosen considering MLB rules that state each team has to have 1 player in the game, and considering the Orioles werent that good, they usually only had one player.
Also, on the Rangers he had Putch on the team and they werent that good either.
Anyways, if measuring somebodies greatness by using the amount of All Star games, then thats a joke. How many times has somebody been on the team due to popularity.
I just think if they put McGwire in the Hall of Fame, then they should bring Palmiero too. He has twice the amount of hits, will have the same amount of HR's, 30 point higher average. Each have the almost the same amount of playoff appearances. Its true that he has more AB's than McGwire, but so has alot of people in the Hall of fame.
