The Dark Knight ( Harvey ) looked pretty unbeatable through 8. 2-0 Mets.
Then was sent out for the 9th.
Walks Cain. Cain steals. Hosmer doubles. Cain scores. 2-1.
Dark Knight pulled. 0 outs, man on 2nd.
Moose ground out but advances Hosmer to 3rd.
Salvy up. Broken bat. Mets throw to 1st but then you have the great base running by Hosmer to score.

I'll take it.
No Cardinals, Yankees, Astros or Dodgers.
Early under/over on Royals wins 2022 set to 79.5.

I just learned that Terrance Gore has just 15 hits his entire career.
And 3 WS rings.

LOL at Boras.
He's just upset none of his high paying clients were on ATL -- and a team spending more than 100 million dollars less than some of the top teams won it all.

Boras not admitting to being the leading cause of tanking. Priceless.

Jon Lester retiring.
Two titles with Red Sox including a game 7 World Series win.
Helped get the Cubbies that long lost title too.
Is he hall of fame?

200 wins makes him borderline, but I'd ultimately bet no.

I don't think Lester is even close.
Not nearly enough boldface numbers here:

Only top-10 in Cy voting four times? That won't do it.

All but Sosa should be shoo-ins, and Sosa should probably be in.
Museums are for what happened, not whether what happened was good.
Those guys were orders of magnitude better than guys playing in the same (tainted) era. That's the bar.

My argument is that you can have a separate "museum" if that's what you want (and there are plenty).
The Hall of Fame can set whatever requirements they want for inclusion.
