jay mcgwire
Jay McGwire calling out his brother? Mark McGwire is a player sorrounded with controversy. He has tried to get into the hall of fame for the past three years but doesn't recieve a high enough vote. Does he deserve it?
Well for one thing not many guys hit over 500 homeruns which Mark McGwire did. He also held the homerun record for a single season with 70. He was one of the best players in the season during his time, and helped lead the Athletics to the World Series. He did strike out a lot, and he wasn't the best defensive player in the league. Many guys have made the Hall of Fame despite not being a good defensive player. He was one of the better players of his time and always topped in homeruns, but does he deserve to be in the hall? Jay McGwire probably doesn't think so.
Jay McGwire came out and said his brother Mark took Andro, Steroids, and HGH during his career. Im glad Jay McGwire isn't my brother. He wanted to get these things out and wants Mark McGwire to live in what he calls "freedom."
One thing - At the time Mark McGwire took Andro, it was a legal substance and there is no evidence he took it after it became illegal. Another, Mark McGwire isn't the only guy who takes steroids in the league and I can bet about 60% of baseball players have taken steroids at one point in their lives.
Jay McGwire is an idiot, and Mark McGwire, although some may call a cheater, deserves to be in the hall of fame because he would have been a remarkable player whether he took steroids or not, it takes more than steroids to have a great career in baseball.

Jeff Kent to Retire
One time MVP Jeff Kent is going to retire and hang up his uniform. He is the all-time leader in homeruns at the second base position and is most likely a hall of famer due to an impressive baseball resume. He is expected to announce Thursday at Dodgers Stadium.
Kent is now 40 and is a 5 time all-star. He was an all star 5 times. He is one of the best 2nd basemen to play the game and he was great on and off the field. He was the MVP in 2000 and helped bring the San Fransico Giants to the World Series in which they eventually lost.
Although he was a very angry baseball player and many people to not like him, it is hard to keep him out of the hall of fame.

Weird and Funny News to Get you through the day
A police officer in was directing traffic outside of a concert. He noticed a familiar-looking truck driving by — his own. The sight led to the arrest of James Matthew Herring, 22. He was charged with theft and evading arrest, police said.
Officer Jerry Varner said he parked his pickup about 100 yards from where he was directing traffic Saturday night. He said he didn't see anyone breaking. He did recognize his truck driving by him though.
When Varner ordered the driver to pull over, the man put the truck in reverse and attempted to get away, striking several vehicles, police said.
When police cars sorrounded the truck, Herring tried to flee but was caught shortly after.

Funny Joke of the day
Gravy Ladle
John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional."
About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote:
"Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner."
Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she was sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
