Charlie Hustle

Some one, and I can't remember if it was a legit sportswriter, or one of the tear-stained wretches on the Coven or in the Cub Blog Army, said a few months ago that the reason why Pete Rose's book is coming out this week, rather than a few months ago, is because he is going to admit on betting on ball, and it was going to come out the day AFTER the HOF vote was announced, and this would give him enough time to be reinstated, and to be added to the 2005 ballot.

I have been waiting to see if this was fact, and sadly, it is.

Only a coward would see the need to lie about it for 14 years.

Only a fuckwad would admit it without any remorse. No "apologi", no "I'm sorry". Even Sammy fucking Sofa thought it was a good idea to apologi for his corked bat.

In the realm of assclowns, I would kiss Sosa's ass for an eternity before I would shake Pete Rose's hand.

Give the pathetic dripping gloryhole his HOF plaque, so he will just go away to sell fake "authentic" artifacts on QVC, or whatever it is that Southern Ohio white trash inbreeders do for a living.

Of course, there's one more thing, the prospect of his actually working in baseball. Anyone who hires the convicted felon gets what they deserve. There's only one place in the world where he COULD possibly swing this, though, and that's the Gateway to Appalachia itself, Cincinnatti.

If Reds fans welcome that shit stain back with open arms, then they are worse toothless soapless clueless hillbillies than Cardinal fans are.
