FullOfSchmidt:  As the author of Clearing the Bases, Mike Schmidt "touches base" on juiced players, phoney records, monster salaries, and how great of a person Mike Schmidt is. 
FullOfSchmidt:  In fact, Schmidt's talents on the written page run on par with his accomplishments on a baseball diamond, accomplishments that have lead many to call him the "greatest ever."
BunningOnEmpty:  And you didn't just write this because Jose Canseco made a lot of money doing the same thing?
FullOfSchmidt:  No, Mike Schmidt is a man of integrity.   He once hit a ball off the roof of the Astrodome!  Come on.
BunningOnEmpty:  Why doesn't Mike Schmidt use that integrity to try to help the game instead of further complicate it?
BunningOnEmpty:  He has a right to write his memoirs or tell people about his career, because it was great. 
BunningOnEmpty:  But wouldn't those stories have meant more doled out in small portions to all those kids he never signed autographs for, instead of in 300 4 page chapters like he's an old, tattle-tale Nicholas Sparks?
FullOfSchmidt:  I don't know, I'll ask him when he gets back. 
FullOfSchmidt:  But if you read carefully you'll see that he never comes out in favor or against those monster steroid phonies like maybe or maybe not Barry Bonds. 
FullOfSchmidt:  In fact, Mike Schmidt has always been a fan and supporter of Barry Bonds, in the event that his drug abuse is never publically proven.   Which he is not doing here. 
BunningOnEmpty:  I am going to pass a law that says you have to shut up. 
LicensetoPills:  pass a law what says i get to bust him up over how he don't know me so he ain't my homey
BunningOnEmpty:  That may take slightly longer to write up legally. 
LicensetoPills:  leave my family out of this
