Mostly but I think it is up to the HOF

The Hawk played for Montreal the longest plus they have no one in the hall… Adds up to him most likely going in with the Expo hat. I don’t care at this point, he deserves to be in no matter what he wears..

Dawson is a borderline candidate in my mind...

…as opposed to a no-doubter like Santo. Of guys eligible for BBWAA consideration, Tim Raines is the guy I’d pick right now.

But if Jim Rice gets in and Hawk doesn’t, it’s inexcusible.

Smarter than doing it in front of your 3-4-5 guys.

That said, a sign got missed there. It’s the only reasonable explanation.

Wouldn't it be smarter to make sure you clear the pitcher???

OK. I just don't like to have the pitcher leading off an inning.

A double-switch is tough when TLR keeps so many LHPs in his bullpen.

That is a depressing thought...

If Lou gives up on Dome, DeRo will be sentenced to prison RF for the post-season.

Get it going, Dome!!!!!

OK. There was a pitch in the dirt. Wasn't sure if that was the H&R pitch or not.

Quade must have given the signs in English then.

As I recall, it was low and outer half...

so, an ideal ball to hit into the vacated hole at SS

It's weird man

There’s probably a lot more to it than just him not being able to hit: a lot of external factors, as well the MLB season being longer — and more grueling traveling-wise — that’s made him get worse and worse every month.

We misread the label...

When we ordered him, we thought the label said “Nearly as good as Ichiro”. Really it said “Nearly as good as So Taguchi”.
