Mitchell's report to reveal many names

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

Why would his arse be grass?
He hasnt done or said anything worth a damn since he has been comish and his arse is not grass now.
The guy does what he wants when he wants, he has no one to answer to.

I think we've reached a tipping point where Congress will go beyond just wagging their fingers at MLB and actually take some control. The lies, coverups and overall shadiness of the past 15 or so years is enough cause for riprimand and change. The last time they were on the Hill there wasn't really all that much hard evidence. Now that there is, it's going to be hell to pay.

One of the dangers of this report is that there's a good chunk of the gullible, ignorant American public who will believe that these are the only players who were using steroids because they were the only ones named.

Indeed and that is why they are called fanatics.

Not ot get off topic, but aren't there bigger fish to fry tan to have our congress worrying about steroids in baseball. Say for instance the war and the possible election of another Numbskull for President? Just my thought though.

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

I've heard those stories too but he does seem like a nice guy for the most part. Remember said sources could've met up with Carter on a bad day.

Well, one of the sources dealt with him on a daily basis, and two others were baseball people (one current manager, one former player) who pretty much had nothing bad to say about anyone. But yeah, I know what you mean. That's the downside of getting the "inside scoop", I guess.

That's neither here nor there. Besides, i'll always love the guy for hitting that HR in '93 even if he's a prick.

True dat.

That's why they have committees It's not the whole congress.

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

I don't buy it for a minute. You don't think the Astros have their own "guys" that know this stuff. I don't think the O's front office had any insider information, nor do I think the Astros front office is THAT DUMB to trade for a player they KNOW will be on the report the day after.

Thats not what I'm saying. I'm sure the Astros had sources as well. Say the trade didn't happen yesterday but next Monday, 5 days after the report is released. Do you think the Astros want to take a big PR hit like that, that they knowingly traded for a supposed steroid user? They did this deal quickly so that if there is too much backlash now that the deal has happened, the Astros can say "hey, we didn't know he was a user until a few days after."

Truth is, this is the tip of the proverbial iceberg. If you think McGwire and Sosa are clean because they weren't in this report, well, maybe there is a chance China could win an award from the Sierra Club as the cleanest, least-polluting nation on Earth after all.

Take care,

Exactly. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

The Astros FO looks foolish every which way. Almost as bad as the O's FO for having RAMPANT steroids usage in their own clubhouse and turning a blind eye.

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

It's hard to be sweeping if you don't have subpoena power. I mean if Mitchell had hat power you'd bet your arse that he'd get a lot more people talking to him and the report would be 100x more damaging. It's bad enough as it is IMO.

It's not bad at all. The crux of his evidence is "he said" from two New York team trainers.

I think it's turned out as laughable as some of us have predicted.

Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

Steroids have been banned by MLB since 1992. Pretty much everyone on the list qualifies.

HGH wasn't banned by the MLB until 2005.
