Answer Man (ne David Brown) scores a fantastic interview with the best pitcher not yet in the Hall of Fame, Bert Blyleven. My fantasy team is named Ocean's Blyleven. I love Bert. Big League Stew.
Jamie Mottram seems to think that having a good closer is going to take the Orioles to the playoffs. It helps, but not as much as Daniel Cabrera actually having a pulse helps. Also, George Sherrill's hat brim thing is wild. Mr. Irrelevant.

Big League Stew: Brown: Bert Blyleven talks the Hall, swearing on air
BBTF's Baseball Primer Newsblog —
Big League Stew: Brown: Bert Blyleven talks the Hall, swearing on air Q: Ever get into a confrontation with one of these Hall voters? BB: I was on with Bob Ley from “Outside the Lines,” with a writer — I forget from where —and we went back-and-forth. He hadn’t voted for me but I think he’s since changed his mind. But I can’t sit down with 500 guys and try to convince them. The convincing, to me, is over with. I feel I’m going to be in there in a couple years. I honestly feel my time is coming. Q: Is that based on how your vote totals have improved? BB: I think with the ...

... After eleven years of eligibility, what keeps Blyleven from being enshrined? Maybe it's because he never won a Cy Young. Maybe it's because with 287 wins, he never got to 300. Or maybe it's because he spent most of his career playing for small market teams. But it's certainly not because of a lack of personality. This man knows what he likes... in fact, loves: Bert Blylevan hearts farts. ...

... runs allowed — I’m in the top 10 in (fewest) home runs allowed, but everyone around me is in the Hall of Fame.
For someone who never saw Blyleven pitch (and has first heard about him in HoF discussions) like me, it is simply incomprehensible how Blyleven is not in the Hall. If you don’t agree, take a look at this old AHP article or take a look at Bert Blyleven Series at the Baseball Analysts (left sidebar).

AaronGleeman.com — ... options available. Dating back to last year, Bonser is 6-17 with a 6.02 ERA over his last 30 starts. Bad run support is partly responsible for that win-loss record, but he has a 6.02 ERA with a mediocre 108-to-52 strikeout-to-walk ratio and .293 opponent's batting average in 172 innings spread over basically one full season's worth of starts. The following picture of Bert Blyleven made the rounds a couple months ago: In a recent interview with David Brown over at Big League Stew, Blyleven discussed the ...

FanHouse —
... 118. Unfortunately, those numbers apparently aren't good enough for Hall of Fame status, and Bert has become better known in recent years for dropping an F-bomb on live television. The guys over at Big League Stew recently sat down with an interview to talk to Blyleven about that incident, as well as his thoughts on not being in the Hall of Fame. Fortunately any serious baseball discussion was avoided for a much better topic. Farting, or more specifically, Bert's love of it. Q: Speaking of pride, what about this T-shirt ...

Hardball Heroes: Bert Blyleven
More Hardball —
... Well, if MLB won't acknowledge Blyleven's awesomeness, then dammit More Hardball will. Not only was Bert one helluva pitcher, he also loves to fart (as evident by the t-shirt he's rocking in this picture to the right). In fact he even went on record during an interview and swore his allegiance to the flatulence fraternity. I too enjoy cutting the cheese, passing wind, letting one rip, splashing on the colon cologne, listening to guano-talk, butt honking, messing with methane, letting out one-cheek sneaks, engaging in anal air attack, blowing smoke rings, showing off my talking ...
