Re: Mitchell's report to reveal many names

If, by a lot, you mean three (Canseco). Then yes.

How many other than that and Pettite have admitted it?

Brian Roberts, F.P. Santangelo and numerous players (Bigbie, Dykstra) admitted use in the report.

The question isn't how many have admitted, the question is how many implicated besides Clemens have denied?

How do you figure?

Clearly congress has the ability to do what it did but the underlying question is one of government scope. Specifically, how much should the federal government be regulating or controlling. This board doesn't really respond well to political discussion so I'll keep it brief but basically I'm a small government kind of guy. Just because Congress has the ability to do something doesn't mean it should be doing it.

And baseball shouldn't be abusing certain priviliges granted to it by said government. People in baseball got very, very rich for a very long time living off of laws that really don't apply to them.

You live by the law, you die by the law.

The anti-trust exemption? Every other sport has managed to get by without it. I can't think of another privilege that baseball has that other sports don't. So the Twins can't up and move to Las Vegas without getting approval from the league. Why does this matter?

What you say about living and dieing by the law is all well and good in a tidy "it all balances out" sort of way but why the assumption that the government is acting properly in doing all this?

Shockingly, looks like Canseco might not really have all that much on A-Rod:

Yup, real big shocker.

He was right the first time around while looking to make a buck, this time it's just about the buck.

He probably stopped getting offers from The Surreal Life.
