"The Mitchell Report"




How seriously can one take the "The Mitchell Report" I don't know if i can to be completely honest? I know that a good portion of it is true, but I believe that some very important and relevant names are being left off of it......How fair is that? Yes just a couple of the 104 names have been made public and after A-rod was thrown under the the bus the last week I'm sure there are alot of nervous baseball players getting ready to report to Spring Training. When you take a step back and look at baseball its pretty obvious who's juicing and who's not. I mean come on if you're a scrawny middle infielder one season that hits 15 homeruns and then hit 35+ the next season theres going to be some speculation around you. My biggest problem is that this George Mitchell guy that put this together is from Boston and I dont know if me making this correlation is just going to make me sound even more crazy but you know that him being a Boston fan such names as Schilling, Big Papi, Varitek, and even though he is not with the Red Sox's any more Manny. The Red Sox's just make me sick and they need to be put in their place. Every time I hear about the "sock" I'm referring to Curt Schillings bloody sock from the game 7 from the ACLS..Everyone is saying how tough he is and such a team player pitching through such pain and how that sock needs to be on a first class flight to Cooperstown..All i can say is BS! TEST THE SOCK. Then theres David Ortiz, look at his stats when he was with the Twins. Why do you think they traded him? He sucked with them! You could say he was little papi! How do you go from hitting 10 Hrs a season with the Twins with just as many at bats to hitting 40+ with the Red Sox's? mmmmmm that's odd? Don't believe me here http://www.baseball-reference.com/o/ortizda01.shtml. This post isn't suppose to be biased or anything. Yes i do hate Boston with a passion but i just don't think its fair this Mitchell Report why are only a couple names coming out and they happen to be Yankees? I just think all 104 names should be made public. I will stand by my opinion that every baseball player should be tested weekly and all results should be made public that's the only way to nip this in the butt. Or we go about it like Colin Cowherd said on his radio program the Herd. He thinks that they should just let everyone take steroids and see where that puts baseball. He says that it would make it more interesting have at least 10 hrs every game. To some extent i agree with him. I just don't know what to believe anymore. You can say it kind of broke my heart a little and let me down when i found out a-rod took them in 2003 I don't believe that he is anymore but i kind of feel like all the swimmers out there that looked up to Micheal Phelps. Whats next Derek Jeter testing positive? I just hurt the most about A-rod because i always have defended him.

it crazy to look at a-rod now and know that i have always thought he was a noble player... but not anymore... i think its not his fault tho because the competition is so great now no one would be able to stack up to the greats anymore..... i still have faith in ichiro i think he has to still be clean.
