Supposedly, the big guy (Sabbathia) has lost 30 lbs. Less stress on his knee. but to be safe, he should probably lose another 30.

Baseball's back tomorrow,

Hey Lorenzo ...we are officially at 50/50 split on whether Andy should go into the HOF. As of this posting it is 14 to 14. I am still at no .. BUT it is fair to say I am on the fence due to the postseason performance.

He's already played 10 seasons. Not to jinx him, if he had any arm/shoulder troubles, it would have manifested by now. The knee surgery was due to his weight not mechanics. In fact the weight loss will probably add logevity to his already impressive career.

...I would bet that at least 11 of the 14 Yays are from Yankee fans. And in general this poll is being conducted in a NY market. A bit skewed ya think? I have to say that I am rather disappointed that more Yankee fans can't seem to find the ability to step outside their own skin for a moment and look at it objectively.(like billyS and a couple others) To me again (not that it is not close ) but it is Clear(who knows, maybe he used that too LOL) he is not a HOFer by almost any definition.

...the titling of the poll categories does'nt help either. I myself, paused before voting. Simply because part of the title of the category was "No Way!" and it sounds insulting to him. I would bet that if there were a "close but no cigar" category it would have a few more votes.

In my personal order.(ridiculously close between the first 3 and between the bottom 3)
Maddux
Martinez
Johnson
Clemens
Smoltz
Glavine
Schilling
Mussina
Pettitte

I’ll put Dwight Gooden, David Cone, and maybe Kevin Brown on this list too. If anyone of those guys aren't there than Andy doesn't deserve to be there, even thou I like him.

I have a question does anyone remember Cone getting busted for rubbing one out in the bullpen or was that a dream I had of him doing it? =)
