Comments on: The Mitchell rumors, they be flying http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/12/13/the-mitchell-rumors-they-be-flying/ A Yankees Blog by Journal News beat writer Peter Abraham Sun, 7 Sep 2008 15:31:44 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=wordpress-mu-1.2.5 By: BA http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/12/13/the-mitchell-rumors-they-be-flying/#comment-227624 BA Thu, 13 Dec 2007 21:19:54 +0000 http://yankees.lhblogs.com/2007/12/13/the-mitchell-rumors-they-be-flying/#comment-227624 After downloading and reading the report it seems to me that (1) these guys were stupid for not knowing to use cash instead of checks, and (2) that it is very likely that steroid use has been running rampant in MLB for years. If basically a couple guys ratted out this many players than it is very likely that many many many more have also used the drugs and just did it more discreetly. I believe that this report uncovers just the tip of the iceberg and that there is still a huge amount hidden below the surface that we may never know about.

It did not show them taking steroids. I think it's awful that the only two names splashed on the screen are Clemens & Pettitte, though I do reaize Clemens is a big fish. I'm really having more trouble with this than I thought I would. I want just one of these people to answer, Why? The video on ESPN showed two guys doing a very intense workout.

One thing is for sure, taking steroids doesn't help you win ball games. Amazing how many former San Francisco Giants are expected to be on this list.

Selig is a pathetic loser, and anyone who actually believes some of the names that will be on the list are retarded.
