biff prefers whatever educational establishment is playing michigan.

he's become really annoying. it will be real fun when he goes to the knicks/heat/lakers next season.

vegas puts up 6 on toronto. marner with a quiet night, not on the scoresheet. it was a big game for toronto so leafs fans should have expected that.

Indiana goes into OKC and beats the thunder.

Dabo Swinney ripping other teams for cheating and tampering with players will forever be hilarious. the lack of shame and ability to bald faced lie is amazing.

you'll be able to fill a small, outdoor swimming pool with del's tears if the pistons trade for lauri markannen or anthony davis.

kent's peak was better than whitaker. he slugged over .500 for like 8 years in a row (after he started juicing and batting behind bonds). kent hit home runs and voters notoce that kind of thing. i dont downplay whitaker's end of career, i just noted that he was much more of a platoon player at that point in his career. look, i think he should be in the hall, but i understand why he isnt: low peak, low media attention, out of the game after his career, played in a minor media market, overshadowed by bigger personalities on his team.

its -45 here in chicago today with the wind chill.

"one of the most iconic nights in nba history"? gtfo.

lets wait until he has no value, THEN trade him! is troy weaver still doing asset management for this team? its a BS clickbait report. of course detroit will listen to offers for ivey. duh.

getting one point in a game that should have been a schedule loss is a pretty good outcome. minny is the third best team in the west, they were playing at home, and the wings were on a road back to back after a big divisional game in toronto. AND they didnt have edvinsson. it was a good point to get. finnie played 8 minutes tonight. a trip to GR in his future?

so far tonight, boston is beating vegas, colombus is beating dallas, pittsburgh is beating edmonton, and florida is beating winnipeg because NO ONE IN THE EAST EVER LOSES.

he had multiple leg injuries, that's what happened. -
i dont think picks alone get it done. he's 26 and a top line center. i bet they want at least danielson/kasper and a first rounder. and i bet if detroit balked, someone else would beat it. like minnesota. thomas was - up until this season - a true #1 guy. like with hughes, those dont grow on trees. unlike hughes, he's signed to a contract that will be extremely reasonable as he goes through his prime. and at louis doesnt have to deal him because of that. you'll have to blow them away. in the end, its likely too rich for yzerman's blood. its not his MO to do something like that, especially since this team doesnt seem to be "one piece away."

would you rather have grich or whitaker? whitaker or sandberg? whitaker or utley? whitaker or kent? or would you consider them all equal? whitaker had a nice end to his career after he became largely a platoon player. trammell got hurt by being compares to the ripken's, yount's, and then arod's of the world. whitaker gets hurt by the rise of the bigger second baseman (even though it used to be a hitter position back in day). but ultimately, he was "good/very good" for a long time. but never great.

What would you trade for robert thomas? danielson, buium, first and a third?

at this point they will probably re-up ivey after the season because he will be really cheap to re-sign. -
its why bobby grich isnt in. voters tend to go with narrative and counting stats and peak value over guys who were consistently "very good" over their whole careers. why is jack morris in the hall of fame and dave steib isnt? or mark beuhrle? narrative. big game performances on the biggest stage. not a steady accumulation of stats over a long period. whitaker gets in if there's a massive movement publicly to do it. his peers have rejected him multiple times, they just dont consider him a star. i like lou. i want lou in, but he's still borderline for me because i'm more of a peak voter than a "compiler" voter.
-
his HOF "political stats" are low. his peak wasnt that high, he didnt win an mvp or ever finish in the top 10 voting, 3 gg's are not high profile and trammell has more, he didnt win any awards in the playoffs, he dropped out of the game after retiring, he is probably best known to most reporters as the guy who forgot his jersey for the all star game. people dont remember lou whitaker. trammell had a higher peak, was in the game after retirement, played short stop, was a top 10 mvp candidate 3 times, six time all star, was second in mvp in 87, was a world series mvp. that **** matters in who gets into the hall of fame. its why morris and trammell are in. its why whitaker isnt.

swept the leafs for the first time since 96.

schedule loss tomorrow.

whitaker was never the best second baseman. he was quiet. he played in an after-thought media market. he was never an mvp candidate. he was a really good lefty bat in a park that made his power numbers look better. like everyone else here, i'd put him in because he was one of my favorites growing up, but he's not a lock by any means. neither was trammell, the difference being trammell played a more glamorous position, stuck around the game longer, had a great playoffs where he was mvp, should have been the mvp in 87, and had more great seasons than whitaker did. now dont get me started on jack morris, probably the least deserving non-friend of frankie frisch who was voted in this side of harold baines.

david ortiz is in the hof because he was a red sox hero and the media loved him. if manny was a fat POS like ortiz who laughed and made the media feel special, they would forget about the roids in 5 seconds. just like they forgot about ortiz's positive test. is ortiz still looking for the culprit who faked his test? or is too busy recovering from getting shot in the bahamas?

the #1 overall pick in the draft turns out to be an ok #4 depth starter. Not ideal. that could easily be jackson jobe soon too. pitchers are fragile.
