I can't believe the voters didn't object to Thome like they do Bonds and Sosa. That dumb ass cracker was absolutely on steroids.

No failed test for Thome. Nor was there for Sosa and Bonds.

This is absolutely racism by voters. I'm not kidding.

Thome wasn't on steriods the same way Frank Thomas wasn't on steroids. I have family who know Thome's family downstate. They are massive people. To question Thome, you have to question Thomas.

No. I don't. Frank was always big.

Thome got HUGE in the late 90s.

Not when he was a rookie. He was just a country cracker at that point.

Why is it that only white people are called "Country Strong". Black people are never called that. Black people never get that benefit of the doubt. I find that interesting.

Frank Thomas was definitely country strong. But if somebody called him that people would equate it with plantations, and that's messy.

Here's what it was. Thome pretty much behaved like Forrest Gump with the media through out his career. Media is mostly white. White people love Forrest Gump. So Thome gets in the HOF.

And this act was done on purpose by Thome to get people to like him. Throw them off the scent. Where as Bonds was an ass hole to the media.

I'm surprised that Rolen got so little support. For him to be behind McGriff is criminal, so to speak.

Edgar Martinez is my personal cause. I hope he gets in next year, but if he doesn't I think he'll get voted in by the veterans committee.

Some sort of homage to the two baserunners he allowed in the supposed greatest game ever pitched.

Why don't Bonds, Sosa and Clemons get credit for "working out"? Yet Thome some how get credit for it?

Explain that to me.

Nope. We all know they did it. But they never failed a test.

Rickey Henderson, Mike Piazza and Jeff Bagwell were also on roids. All in the HOF.

It's all arbitrary as to who voters decide did it and who didn't.

But for Thome to get this many votes on his first ballot is amazing. His head grew twice the size from his rookie year. That's not normal. People used to make fun of Bonds for his head growth. With Thome, voters believed, like some of you guys here, it's just because he worked out. :roll: :lol:

Right. Try to figure out the glaring difference between them and Thome.

Have you read what I've said? There is no difference. They all did roids.

But Thome was Forrest Gump his entire career and said "Golly gee" and "Aww shucks" and the old white media love that shit. So he got their votes. Bonds said "Fuck you" to reporters and was black.

Sosa and McGuire were also ass holes. Not to the extent of Bonds, but jags none the less.
