Yo, what the F is up with Major League Baseball's Hall of Fame voting.

Now, I have the pleasure of working with many writers over at SMY and I get to get a different perspective

because loud mouth talk show host you know us as fans we're like what are you doing and I'm going

to continue to say what are you doing with the voting however I do see a different perspective

when I talk to like the likes of Anthony McCarran and John Harper, you know,

and other people who I've talked to over the years that have a vote. But the voting is just so

inconsistent and really it is bull crap, to be honest with you. And here we are another year.

Now, truth be told, I love talking about this stuff. And I love the fact that the writers are so

Famer gets 95%. Okay. All right. Adrian Beltray is a great player. You look at some of the

other guys who didn't get out on the first ballot. Is Adrian Beltrade better than them? I mean, come on. Todd Helton also gets in. He gets in with 79.7 of the vote.

Helton's a good player. I have no big issue with him being in the Hall of Fame. However, pound for pound,

Don Mattingly's a better player. So now you have a scenario in the Hall of Fame, the Hall of Fame of Baseball,

what is going to live way beyond us. We're going to be long, dead and buried. Skeletons
