    Jon Heyman with a punishment non-vote?

    "I leaned for months toward disregarding their obvious steroid ties and voting for Bonds and Clemens, arguably the best position player and pitcher over the past 40 years (at least by what they did on the field). But ultimately, I just couldn't do it. At least not this time.

    The more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to celebrate their careers. Not yet, anyway.

    More to the point, I didn't want to reward the cheats.

    The steroid guys already hit more home runs, recorded more strikeouts, made more money and won more awards thanks to one thing: having less integrity than some or many of their clean competitors.

    I am not about to add to their already crowded mantles."

    No question about it. That's three that have pretty much admitted it. Plenty more who are doing it, but won't say so.

    Alomar, Jr.? Really?? What was he impressed by all those All-Star starts (while he was hitting .220?) Ridiculous.

    Yes, unlike you, I am honest about what I've done on this board. I have responded to Manky's trolling/fawning over Jeter with negative comments about Jeter that I don't believe. I trolled the troll.

    Now, if you could admit the crap you've been pulling of late, we'd have some real progress, but we both know you don't have it in you.

    that's really deep, manky.

    Unless I missed it, Manky has never admitted that he posted something he didn't mean. I did. Wrong again, TP. As usual.
