Cant suspend most of them. A good number dont play anymore and then the others were terrible as pros. And who would care if those scrubs got penalized. I actually had to go look up who Tim Laker was.

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

What a sad day for baseball guys like ruth and marris must be turning over in the graves. I grew up watching baseball in the early 90's and all the things I thought was so good ended up fake.They need to take some records away.

Clemens should rot. You piece a crap I thought wow this guy is good and he's old but just a juicer.

Yes, I know that, but there was no rule in the MLB that stated a player would be suspended X amount of games if they are caught using PED's. I guess I just don't see the point in suspending some players who the only time it's indicated that they have done steroids or other PED's was 5-7 years ago.

Well as a historical parallel, gambling on games wasn't illegal until the White Sox gambled on and threw fixed the results of the 1919 World Series. The "Best interests of the Game" clause needs to be invoked by Selig if he really wants to wash away the taint on MLB.

This isn't going to go away just because Mitchell outed these guys.

Agreed. This was just a waste of time.

BTW ESPN just said Frank Thomas was the only active player besides Giambi to talk. GO Frank!

Well obviously some still do, since they think Mark McGwire was clean.

I do too, so many analysts were trashing Jose. I know he a douche but it seems like he was spot on!

I'm guessing those of this mindset feel Bonds is A-OK in their book as well?

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

Well, it's about what I thought. Farce.

Throw a few names under the bus. Protect the rest. And let's all just look forward to Spring Training!

Countdown til Congress has their next hearing......

If steriods where around when the Babe played he would have took them, no doubt about it.
Anything to make him better and still be able to drink all day, he would have taken them.

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

So was Bonds on that list?

After WNBC.com posted this list, a spokesman for Major League Baseball told WNBC.com that there were several discrepancies between the list posted and Mitchell’s list.

Jonathan Dienst went back to the two sources with access to Mitchell's findings. Both sources maintain the list given to WNBC.com is complete and accurate.

WNBC.com made a second call to the MLB official refuting the list. He would not say which names on the list provided by two separate sources are incorrect. Yet another source suggests WNBC.com was given a draft copy by our two original sources, not the final copy being released today.

The list contains multple MVP and Cy Young award winners. The list is littered with names of All-Stars past and present and included two sets of brothers.

Mitchell during his press conference did state that he allowed Selig to go over the names before they were mentioned as a way to keep the "integrity" of baseball in tact.

I remember that too, The guy is a jerk but He did know what He was talking about.

Man I was I Roger Clemems I would call out names like crazy. If Im going down then everyone I know its going down. What I hate is the fact that non of the obvious users are mention in the reports.

To me this was all plan by Bud Selig and Mitchell from the start, lets sacrifice a big name player like Roger Clemens and 80 more mediocre players and pretent we are taking actions against Steroids. Please with Feds and millions at my disposal I would make Barry Bonds confess.

The report is crap.

I didn't see him, but I vaguely skimmed over the list.
