KEN GURNICK, Dodgers beat reporter
Morris

"Morris has flaws -- a 3.90 ERA, for example. But he gets my vote for more than a decade of ace performance that included three 20-win seasons, Cy Young Award votes in seven seasons and Most Valuable Player Award votes in five. As for those who played during the period of PED use, I won't vote for any of them."

and here I thought Morris's Game 7 shutout was in 1991, during the Canseco-McGwire era. since this apparently was not during the period of PED use, am surprised he didn't vote for McGwire too!

Ken Gurnick is a complete moron. Morris over Maddux? Wow...stupid is as stupid does, I suppose.

Not just a complete moron, but so clueless and arrogant that he'd actually proudly publish this utter garbage.

Revoking his privilege is the only hope of getting through to others who might consider something this stupid.

[madducks]

Anyone who does not vote Maddux in on first ballot should have their voting privileges revoked for life. They're simply too stupid to be entrusted with a vote.

Agree 100%

[Grinch]

With the numbers of voters, there will always be a handful that use their vote as a soapbox. The way to get the most noise from that soapbox is not by who you vote for, but by who you don't vote for, it's Maddux this year, will be Mariano in a few years. These people try to make themselves more important than their vote.

Vroom....vroom...Gentlemen start your outrage...

[revo]

Maddux, Glavine & Thomas elected.

[mjl]

Biggio was two votes short.

[Moonlight J]

Biggio falls 2 short because fucking asswipes like Chass & Noble "suspect" he was a steroid user & don't vote for him or Gurnick thinks everyone after 92 was a roid user and doesn't vote for him.

These assholes treat the ballot as some kind of burden and then blast LeBetard for selling his ballot to Deadspin to fill out when that Deadspin ballot is fantastic.

The 3 that were put in today give us FIVE players born after 1960 in the hall of fame: Alomar, Larkin, Thomas, Glavine, and Maddux. That's it. Out of the 2,656 players that have played MLB baseball that were born from 1961-1970, 0.0019% of them are no hall of famers.

awesome

[chancellor]

Jason, you need to quit holding back and tell us what you really think!

[revo]

I'm surprised Glavine made it in so easily, yet Moose only got 20% of the vote. Mussina has a better ERA+, WHIP, K/BB, but Glavine has those mythical things like more 20-win seasons, 300+ wins (but only 35 more than Mussina) and a couple of Cy Youngs.

Exactly the discussion I had at work today. Exactly.
