Terry May was thrown for a loss after he said:
 TM> So do I.  Not because he pitched for the Dodgers, but because he's a bad
 TM> announcer with a worse 'do.
He's not great, however, he IS better than some guys on other teams (Not by 
much).
 TM> My take is there are TOO MANY people in the HOF, and it should be
 TM> reserved for truly special players.  And if it takes you more than one
 TM> try to get in, you probably shouldn't be in there.
If that's the case then the HOF should be reserved for 9 players, 1 manager 
and 1 owner. Truthfully, I think that there a still plenty of worthy 
candidates left, especially when you consider the talent that hasn't been 
born yet.
 TM> Why are you so down on Smoltz?  He's had much better numbers than
 TM> Neagle, and has been their best postseason pitcher.
His numbers aren't as good as you think. Neagle hasn't been a starter for 
nearly as long (Part of Leyland's philosophy of using young players as 
relievers first) and in the time that he has been starting, his numbers are 
as good as Smoltz (Plus, he's using his full talents. John's wasted his over 
the years. There should have been a lot more 24-8 seasons in his past instead 
of just ONE good season).
