Aaaargh! The subtext!!!!

Will the twenty-some people in line behind him be understanding about taking time out to discuss it?

Thats why I use my own ravel mug.

Another good reason to not do $tarbuck$.

It’s not that I don’t like Pete Rose, I just don’t want some kid who wasn’t born when Pete was doing his best work trying to discus it with me.

As hot button a topic now as it was then. Both sides are just as firmly entrenched in the opinions and can not be swayed.

How’s about I reach over and grab your scrawny neck?

he gambled on his own team while he was the manager. Exactly how is he any different from the infamous black sox?Especially since he knew the rules against gambling

I have said it before and I’m saying it again—-No discussion on Pete Rose until the reception following the induction of Shoeless Joe Jackson. He was tried and ACQUITTED yet denied a career and livelihood by the dictatorial Landis. If you care to research the event you will find that while a number of players (including Jackson) took money being passed around it was two players that actually thew the series – Eddie Cicotte and Chick Gandil. .

Ditto!
