It's Texas, so the forecast could change to 68 and sunny by then, but...

Yep, cold has finally reached Gods country. Looks like a good cold snap for the

Until I see it on the ground I am not believing 9 inches in DFW.

Based on the first ~100 HoF ballots, Ichiro, CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner, and Carlos Beltran are all above the 75% line.

Sad to see Ian Kinsler's hall of fame dreams are over.

I can only assume that’s why Ichiro is getting 100% too, but it will be fun to see two players get elected

Ichiro had more at-bats in the playoffs as a New York Yankee, so he counts for them too. 3-1.

TCuz

If anyone doesn't vote for Ichiro, their rights should be rescinded.

Zooropa

Felix just needed a couple more good years but he imploded.

Felix had 50 bWAR through his age 29 season and was as much of a HoF slam dunk as you can be at that age

That's because USU has several close wins, but also because Kenpom arbitrarily ranked usu #71 to start the year.

I trust KenPom. So do most in college basketball. I don't think he does anything arbitrarily.
