Former Cubs third baseman Ron Santo came up five votes shy of being inducted by the Veterans Committee into the Hall of Fame.
Santo’s family could not be reached for comment, as they were packing up all of the sharp objects in Santo’s home, cutting all rope into 3-foot lengths, throwing away their toasters, permanently disabling their garage door opener with the door stuck in an open position, and throwing away all DVD copies of This Old Cub.
The Veterans Committee, made up of colossal douchebags like Joe Morgan and Mike Schmidt, did not elect anyone into the 2007 Hall of Fame class. Santo received the most votes (57) of any players on the ballot for 69.5% of the vote. He was 5 votes shy of the requisite 75%.
Hot as a Kerry Wood fastball.
What the hell keeps those old fogie doucheballoons from putting guys like Ron Santo in the Hall. It’s inevetible that he’s enshrined, why does Ronny have to go through this ridiculous cycle year end and year out. It’s maddening…it really is, and the fags that vote on this bologna should receive swift kicks to the half-peas they call nuts.
Please excuse my utter disregard for using question marks in my previous posts…I’m that mad.
I like you. You’ve got moxie. You remind me of an old-timey politician. A very angry old-timey politician.
Well, thank you. For my next feat, I’ll attempt to defeat Hillary Clinton in an old-style cock fight to the death.
But seriously. I can’t understand it. All Ron did was be the best 3B the Cubs have ever seen. Especially considering the revolving door that has been the hot corner in between Santo and E-ramis. And to think, assbags like Barry Bonds will get in on ESPN’s man crush for him alone, but greats like Santo and Andre Dawson are left on suicide watch while hanging labias like Joe Morgan don’t vote them in. Fooey.
You don’t want to get into a cock fight with Hillary. Hers is like a club.
“Best 3B the Cubs have ever seen” is sort of akin to “best intrascrotal hematoma.” That’s not to say Santo shouldn’t be in, but comparing him to Steve Buechele and Willie Greene doesn’t really help his case.
Bad Kermit:
Hillary’s a pittbull…and pittbull’s tend to eat babies and gnaw on the throats of their young. Woof.
That’s a funny way to look at my statement about being the best 3B the Cubs have ever seen. You also forgot Leo Gomez, Gary Gaetti and Cole Liniak.
Leo Gomez is #118. Gone, but never forgotten.
I was referring to Bad Kermit’s short list of Steve Beuchelle and Willie Greene…
Oh, what about Shane Andrews? Yeah…those were the good ole rotten days.
Oh, we could just go on and on with crappy Cubs third basemen. But then we wouldn’t be supporting them. And this site is all about supporting one another.
And Julie.
And Sulleymoon of nsbb.
JD, Sulleymoon was never at this blog, and in fact, neither Sulleymoon or nsbb exist.
Lies CT, those are lies. Sulleymoon spoke to me in a dream. Well, it wasn’t really Sulleymoon. It looked like Kate Winslet. But I just knew it was him. He told me to step into the light. Then I woke up.
I wonder what would have happened next…
You would have fixed the cable.
do u guys do drugs….?
Yeah, that was me in the dream too.
And what would have happened next is I would have told you to lose some goddamn weight.
No, Bocaj. Why? Should we start?
Did Sulleymoon of nsbb say that we should start?
Well kerms, it may seem that way with your guys’ [fucked up] banter and never-lacking creativity, and if you haven’t been [toking], imagine the possiblilities if you did…
I did make out with Aaron Sorkin once, so that would explain the, uh, banter.
And the herpes. Just a cut, my BALLS!
How many pots have you smoken?
That’s none of your danged business, hippie.
Have you been looking in my freezer? Not that there are drugs in there. Nothing’s missing either. The food in there just FEELS looked at.
You feel your food, too? I like the frozen peas. Put a bag on your crotch and just let it thaw. Trust me.
This here is terrible banter. You two should be embarrassed. What if someone from NSBB were to see this? You’ll never make a major league message board this way.
This is terrible banter?
Better than listening to J-Hood
How did you know we have peas??? Ok, I’m sleeping with the light on. Arkansas my ass.
And how do we get peas? With the knife.
All JD is saying is give peas a chance. Wocka wocka wocka!
Stop saying bad jokes, and write a new article BK!
This is a fringe blog. You’re failing your country Bad Kermit. I want some dolphin talk, now!
