If anything befalls the fall, it's the Hall...

The poised and calculating support for Barry Bonds to get into the Hall is on, aiming with real resolution to get the most psychopathic narcissist in the history of American sports somehow absolved and celebrated. Who's behind it..(look at my left eye, it's winking) ??
But are these same folks supporting A-Rod's similarly gaudy statistical claims to Cooperstown? Of course not, though both of these all-time great hitters were fully embarked on a program of PEDs, a detailed and refined system of administering and controlling the untraceable drugs that would be the envy of Professor Moriarty himself--or Lance Armstrong. For example, imagine taking an under the tongue lozenge--just a tiny one--in the second inning, knowing it will kick in in the 6th, or 45 minutes later. And having this timed sequence with a variety of specialized lozenges set and ready every inning of every game. A-Rod detailed this elaborate procedure in his tell-all, and his kiss-off to any Cooperstown consideration.
The real crime in the fetid corps of HOF voters, however, is the astonishing exclusion from this year's roster of candidates of Rafael Palmeiro, a genuine Hall of Famer with marvelous stats--and no PED spike whatsoever.
Those stats? 3020 hits, 569 bombs, 1835 RBIs, .288 lifetime average and an even percentage of strikeouts to walks.
His one-time violation of the absurd rules was minor at best, and he wasn't even suspended. It was some sort of antihistamine, and yet apparently because of his finger-wagging display before the ludicrous congressional "investigation" he was treated like Helen Thomas--whoever she was... :doh:
