I am just noticing this statement now.
WTF?
I just shot beer out my nose in laughter at this.
I'm almost tempted to do a milk vs. steroids poll.
Almost.

I've got a steel gut! What will you give me?!?
A friend of mine has a 6-pack of Harley Davidson beer from the 70's...I can't tell you how many times I've been tempted to crack one open and drink it.

Have you seen how large fellow inductee Tony Gwynn has become? Just keep it away from him and things should be fine.

Tony Gwynn makes a fine broadcaster because he talks so much, although only in an effort to eat his own voice.

But, yeah, who the fuck are they going to put out there, Juan Bell?
What difference does that make? A day off is a day off.

"Keep away from small children, dogs, and anyone who craves peanuts, caramel and milk chocolate!"
It's like he is daring us!
"Be sure to keep this delicious candy bar away from anyone who enjoys rich caramel and fluffy milk chocolate wrapped around crunchy peanuts."

How many good backup middle infielders are there? The point is - take a seat once in a while, hero.

Why? The first year Ripken probably should have taken a seat was '98, and he did take seat in '98.
Maybe he should have done it much earlier in the season, but the Orioles were dogshit in '98 with Ripken playing or with Babe Ruth into his twelfth HGH cycle and a 180 day coke bender playing, so it didn't matter one way or the other.
