The playing conditions at Coors are a freaking joke. One of the reasons I subscribe to the argument that Nomo’s Nono there is one of the greatest regular season pitching performances in the history of the game.I had to do a double take there... I knew he had a big split, but I didn't think he had a 1.408 OPS at home.
I wouldn’t take my ball and go home if he got in. I will just never vote for him. I think he is on the border of being borderline.

That's interesting. It looks like some voters are warming up to the Balco guys but not guys who were suspended. Otherwise how does anyone rationalize leaving Alex freaking Rodriguez off the list? Also I don't know who is voting for Ortiz but not Bonds and Clemens.
How is A.J. not on the list...he should be in the top 3.
Only 12% of the votes known. Apparently this guy compiles them as the writers publicize them, so it'll be fun to keep checking in...
yeah I was just thinking maybe they were differentiating between players that were involved in the Balco thing and players that were suspended after they had all the rules in place.
But Bonds never “got caught”. I believe Clemens is also in that boat.
As of this morning, 14.8% reported and Ortiz (81%), Bonds and Clemens (75.9%) are all in. I have not been able to find gained/lost vote tally’s, though.
