It's the next step up from Superbowl, played entirely IN SPACE! Or VR. Or possibly by hyperviolent Sportsball robots.

I don't think it's even possible to approach Ty Cobb levels of asshole in this day and age. Politically, sure, but come on, the man was personally gawdawful and professionally behaved like a slovenly hitman in a baseball uniform.

Say, he looks a lot like Kirby Delauter.

Jesus, isn't that true. I was impressed by him as a pitcher. As a post-baseball human being, not so much.

Ah, don't play the before-my-time card. He's a big enough asshole to spend some vitriol on.

To his credit, he didn't join the Yankees.

Curt was in a bad mood. Maybe his ankle was hurting.

He wasn't actually around that long and he didn't make many appearances in the postseason. His biggest claim to fame was pitching in the decisive game that won the LeadSox their first World Series title since the previous interglacial.

You can take "wealthy" out of the equation since 38 Studios failed in Rhode Island. Otherwise, yah, all of the above.

He got <em>more</em> votes this year (215) than he got last year (167). And with Smoltz, Randy Johnson and Pedro Martinez on the ballot there was no way he was going to get in ahead of them.

But never let the facts get in the way of a good gripe, eh Curt?

I actually just bought the game that bankrupted Shilling's game studio, it's supposed to be very good. I'm also happy that the money I paid won't be going to him, but rather, the state that he basically defrauded...

Ya know, I think the closest thing en francais to "For Fuck's Sake" is probably "pour l'amour de merde", so maybe we should have a French version of /FFS
