Palmeiro will have to wait for Bonds, Clemens, and ARod. I hope both do - - just color code their plaques to say they were steroid cheats.

I know it's been talked about to death but I hate the whole concept of "put a marker and say they did steroids."

They illegally obtained and illegally used steroids to cheat. If you or I were caught with the drugs these guys had, we'd go to jail. Why is it okay for them to do these illegal activities and then be rewarded with the Hall on top?

They got the accolades, money and records. They don't get the hall.

Last year Clemens and Bonds didn't make any headway in the voting. This year will tell. If they make any kind of leap, they have a shot. If not, they won't make it.
