Kolek planning to go pro
Thanks guys. My tenure as a voter is probably nearing its end. The BBWAA enacted a new rule a couple of years ago to try to weed out those who haven't actively covered the sport for 10+ years, and this is my 9th year since I left the business (or since it left me). I get the idea behind the rule: Those who are no longer actively covering (but still have Lifetime BBWAA privileges) are theoretically less likely to follow the sport closely, so culling the herd could make voting more "consistent" or "accurate."What's interesting for me is that now that I don't predominantly cover one team (or in my case, the 2 Chicago teams), I am much less tunnel-visioned and I take a more overall-MLB approach to my observations. So I actually think I am MORE qualified. And I don't think anybody takes the responsibility any more seriously than I do, so I really appreciate that Lenny noticed. But I am not going to beg for the opportunity. I've enjoyed having it for 20 years now, so if this year or next year is my last, then it's been a good run.
Maybe rocky or topper will hire you as Scoop's MLB reporter. The pay likely isn't high as they hoard all the profits from this place.
Roy Halladay dies in a plane crash... yet Curt Schilling lives on. There is no God.
Without the injuries, he was a lock HOFer.
i hope that was supposed to be teal
+1.Schilling is a bad man. Complete phony.
Maybe.But wishing somebody dead because you don't like their politics (even in what I'm sure is in jest) isn't funny and is intentionally polarizing. Do we really need more of that?
I wish no ill will and I'm not politically motivated.
seriously? i understand MU can only do so much for some, but really? "bad man"?? some of you guys need to do some introspection. if that's how you define "bad" God help us all! cue in the serenity prayer or something
Fair enough - but you did +1 a post that most certainly did wish ill will and appeared to be political trolling.
It was joke. Good lord...
Noted, and agreed.I just don't like Curt Schilling, for baseball reasons.
Agree he's a "Me first" guy.
Not funny, in so many ways.Halladay is a sure fire Hall of Famer. One of the best I ever saw play. If he pitched most of his career in the USA we would be talking about him in much greater regard. Won 2/3 of his games. Dominant. I hope this is a God, that's no joke.
