Mitchell Report Thread (Nothing to see here! Drugs are bad. Crisis averted!)

Re: Running Mitchell Report Thread (Selig: I plan to read it over X-mas break!)

Didn't just "make the list." According to the report "Radomski stated that he sold anabolic steroids or human growth hormone to Vina six to eight times during 2000 to 2005."

Aside from Clemens, Bonds and the other big boys, Vina probably looks as bad as anyone named in the report. It'll be interesting to see what the Worldwide Leader does with him ...

Fair enough.

Specifically, if you were commissioner in 1994 or 2002, what would you have done differently?

Don't tell Pietro!

That explains why I woke up from my nap laughing...

One of my favorite passages so far (page 211):

"Radomski stated that, beginning in 1996, he sold Deca-Durabolin and testosterone to Hundley on three or four occasions. At the beginning of that year, Radomski told Hundley that if he used steroids, he would hit 40 home runs. Hundley hit 41 home runs in 1996, having never hit more than 16 in any prior year. After the season, Radomski said, Hundley took him out to dinner."

Clemens' attorney says there's never been one bit of tangible evidence connecting him to steroids.

Really?

Fucking hunk of shit.

Selig, blah blah blah, we are going to continue to work on testing. Selig is a joke and he will go down in history as a complete joke.

Yea, ok your trainer said you did it.

Now THERE'S a sports predictor!!

And another clueless moment by ESPN, Steve Phillips said it was understandable that Selig hadn't read the report since he probably only got it about 1pm today.

I just thought Rahjah worked really, really hard. I mean, who doesn't know 43 year olds who can throw in the 90s and look like they are carved out of stone?

Well, I would have found a way to save the '94 season. That would have solved a lot of problems.

I can't say I blame Bud for putting on the blinders. But he's not nearly dumb enough to think there wouldn't come a day when the bill was due and the collectors would show up at his door. Or maybe he is.
