Re: Mitchell Report Thread (SportsJournalists.com: Bring me the severed head of Allan H. Selig!)

He talks to himself on his own site.

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (SportsJournalists.com: Bring me the severed head of Allan H. Selig!)

you're full of shit.

There's no way someone else made three posts there.

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Fehr: I was too busy blinking to read this thing)

I've made 10 or so posts there. Another SJ member (who shall remain nameless) made a dozen or so posts before nuking their account.

I think I voted for that guy for Rookie of the Year. Both here and on wenalwackjobs.com

Tom's story on Mitchel report next week should prove to be interesting since he is so close to Clemens. Guess if he were truly "inside " he would have known about steroid use.

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Clemens' lawyer: My client has been slandered!)

Sort of a non-denial denial, though, huh?

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Clemens' lawyer: My client has been slandered!)

How clever.

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Clemens' lawyer: My client has been slandered!)

Maybe he can start by taking Gagne's new $10 mil contract away!

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Clemens' lawyer: My client has been slandered!)

Shouldn't have written that in the present tense. That was from a post about what Selig might have done a decade ago to avert this.

Still, voiding Gagne's contract might be fun.

 

Re: Mitchell Report Thread (Clemens' lawyer: My client has been slandered!)

Here's something that puzzles me:

Out of all the 792 (or whatever) active players in MLB, only two talked to Mitchell. Jason Giambi, who juiced, and Frank Thomas, who didn't.

What about all the players who were so adamant about improved drug testing the last few springs, like Schilling and Smoltz? Were those players even asked to talk? If so, did they just refuse? Was it because he had no subpoena power, or because they were just full of shit? Or because they were bullied by the union?

Why weren't they even included? Or was it a big game of Telephone, where Mitchell's people sent word through Selig's people to ask the Red Sox people to pass to Theo's people to pass to Schilling's people and so on until nobody really knew who wanted to talk to whom?
