I must admit – I was surprised at the long list of names:
Brady Anderson, Manny Alexander, Rick Ankiel, Jeff Bagwell, Barry Bonds, Aaron Boone, Rafael Betancourt, Bret Boone, Milton Bradley, David Bell, Dante Bichette, Albert Belle, Paul Byrd, Wil Cordero, Ken Caminiti, Mike Cameron, Ramon Castro, Jose Canseco, Ozzie Canseco, Roger Clemens, Paxton Crawford, Wilson Delgado, Lenny Dykstra, Johnny Damon…
…Carl Everett, Kyle Farnsworth, Ryan Franklin, Troy Glaus, Rich Garces, Jason Grimsley, Juan Gonzalez, Eric Gagne, Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Giambi, Jeremy Giambi, Jose Guillen, Jay Gibbons, Juan Gonzalez, Clay Hensley, Jerry Hairston, Felix Heredia, Jr., Darren Holmes, Wally Joyner, Darryl Kile, Matt Lawton, Raul Mondesi, Mark McGwire, Guillermo Mota, Robert Machado, Damian Moss, Abraham Nunez…
…Trot Nixon, Jose Offerman, Andy Pettitte, Mark Prior, Neifi Perez, Rafael Palmiero, Albert Pujols, Brian Roberts, Juan Rincon, John Rocker, Pudge Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Scott Schoenweiss, David Segui, Alex Sanchez, Gary Sheffield, Miguel Tejada, Julian Tavarez, Fernando Tatis, Maurice Vaughn, Jason Varitek, Ismael Valdez, Matt Williams, Kerry Wood.
But I’m glad someone finally exposed Roger Clemens for the testosterone-shooting roider that he is.
Maybe now these myopic baseball fans who want to string up and asterisk Barry Bonds as the lone gunman will now see that the entire sport is on roids and that it’s the era that needs exposing, not just one guy. I’ve already heard people criticizing the report for being too light on specific situations or not taking into account the people who slipped through the cracks. Hello?? The union prevented the players from talking! Way to go guys – continue to circle the wagons and drive the sport into the ground. Real baseball fans should see this as a positive and should thank Jose Canseco (a Hall of Famer in my eyes) for exposing the truth because if it weren’t for his book, nothing would have been done.
BTW – I heard that Canseco tried to get into the press conference where they revealed the report, but was turned away. C’mon – let the father see his baby! Now – I’m going to read the only Mitchell Report I care about.
Good Reading over at SVP Style on what should happen, why nothing will happen, and other random thoughts.

I notice there’s no mention of Andruw Jones or Jeff Blauser. WOO HOO!

Did you know that this list (above)is bogus? I’m not sure where this person (who created the list) got some of the names, but many of them are not mentioned in the report. Of course, I want to protect some present and former Red Sox players from having their names smeared, especially Nomar, Trot Nixon, and Jason Varitek… but also, people like Johnny Damon, Albert Pujols, and Bret Boone are not mentioned anywhere in the report, nor outside of it. At least not yet. However, go on and smear the hell out of Roger Clemens!!! I’m all for that.
