Keep crossing the Mighty Mo by boat loser and one day that nasty old river will suck you in and make you think you are in a washing machine.
Take the bridge and buy a car loser!
Dwight,
You're brain dead from all the whiskey!
Thats your worst post yet!

| The Texas High School Baseball Association is considering recanting its invitation to have Roger Clemens speak at its annual conference. I would imagine Roger would have a lot of good things to say to the coaches regarding the perils of artificial performance enhancement. |

The Mitchell report was a complete waste of time, energy and tens of millions of dollars. What did it accomplish other than to single out a handful of players that happened to cross paths with the unsavory characters interviewed by investigators? I won't even comment on the motives and/or credibility of the criminals MLB relied upon.
That should not have been MLB's "official" document/response on the steroid issue, b/c it was so incomplete.

After acknowledging that he was desperate, Dwight said "people will resort to saying things they know aren't true when they are desperate." That about sums it up! |

Interesting, I think it should be the official response because it underscores the ineptitude of the entire scandal.  |

So poetically true (I wish I thought of it.)
The investigatory response to the steroid scandal years later in the Mitchell report epitomizes and is consistent with MLB's response to steroids while they were running rampant.
If Selig punishes any single player listed in that report WITHOUT punishing himself, it will piss me off. |

My personal opinion on this topic is that nothing can be done/should be done with the players up to the point that the ban was put in place. After that, they need to follow the policy established by major league baseball.
They can and should reprimand the individual(s) in power that watched this go on, yet turned a blind eye to it...namely Bud Selig. |

I agree, but then that's the way I felt prior to the Mitchell report too.

I don't see that happening. Selig is in bed with the owners.

Roger Clemens going on "60 Minutes" on Sunday.
Unless Clemens actually answers questions under oath, I won't be impressed.
That's what he gets for taking the big money in New York. If he'd just gone somewhere in the Midwest, he'd have been fine.
They never got the clubhouse guy for the White Sox or the Cardinals into the Mitchell report. |

"Perhaps the worst thing that can happen is to reach into the refrigerator and come out with something that you cannot identify at all. You literally do not know what it is. Could be meat, could be cake. Usually, at a time like that, I'll bluff. "Honey, is this good?" "Well, what is it?" "I don't know. I've never seen anything like it. It looks like...meatcake!" "Well, smell it." (snort, sniff) "It has absolutely no smell whatsoever!" "It's good! Put it back! Somebody is saving it. It'll turn up in something." Thats what frightens me. That someone will consider it a challenge and use it just because it's in there." -- George Carlin |

| I don't put any stock in the report and I think it's mistake to hand any athlete over information from it...just my opinion. There is a lot murky, tainted information in it, imo. |

Meanwhile, Socialist Security is tanking, the US dollar is in grave danger and hey....since things are looking up why not talk about incurring more debt and giving everyone "free" health care.
Seriously, just take down the freaking northern border and dub us Canada already... |

This guy offered some insight on what to expect from Mike Wallace as far as the kinds of questions he answers.
I think, considering he and Clemens are buddies -- we aren't going to have anything relevant coming out of Clemens' mouth until he goes before Congress.
Then again, should we expect anything less from a sport that is run by a used car salesman?
Major league baseball is to baseball what pro rassling is to the sport of wrestling -- a high-priced fake of the real thing. |

Until major league baseball gets serious about cleaning up its sport and hiring a legitimate commissioner, how can you call it anything BUT fake?
Give me college baseball eight days a week over the majors...at least we're 99 percent sure those kids are playing by the rules. |
