Actually, I don't. “@joshwolff22: @pedrogomezESPN You gotta explain Biggio being left off...”

Anyone with a problem with HOF voting should contact the Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. They're the ones who made and set the rules.

Of course we bring attention to this because of the exclusion of Craig Biggio and Jeff Bagwell. But if you've followed the HOF voting for any length of time at all, you'll remember that Gomez has a hard-on for some Bagwell hate, as well as a history of presumably setting out the names of HOF-eligible players on the floor, watching his cat piss on four to five names, and then filling out his ballot accordingly. Don't believe me?
How do you explain Gomez being one of four BBWAA voters to vote for Bill Mueller in 2012? Or Gomez as one of the two voters who voted for Jay Bell in 2009?
So...yeah, this is the Hall of Fame's problem, not Pedro Gomez's...sure.
