The Mitchell Report [Steroids, not Israeli/Arab]

I was wondering when this thread would start.

The press conference is in 26 minutes, so I expect the list will be on the wire within the hour.

Any bets? Anybody want to bet against McGwire?

Bichette, Jose Canseco, Wil Cordero, Johnny Damon, Roger Clemens, Paxton Crawford, Carl Everett, Rich Garces, Juan Gonzalez, Eric Gagne, Nomar Garciaparra, Jeremy Giambi, Guillermo Mota, Trot Nixon, Jose Offerman, Julian Tavarez, Mo Vaughn, and Jason Varitek.

Other notables:

Brady Anderson, Manny Alexander, Rick Ankiel, Jeff Bagwell, Barry Bonds, Aaron Boone, Rafael Betancourt, Bret Boone, Milton Bradley, David Bell, Albert Belle, Paul Byrd, Ken Caminiti, Mike Cameron, Ramon Castro, Ozzie Canseco, Wilson Delgado, Lenny Dykstra, Kyle Farnsworth, Ryan Franklin, Jason Grimsley, Troy Glaus, Jason Giambi, Jose Guillen, Jay Gibbons, Clay Hensley, Jerry Hairston, Felix Heredia, Jr., Darren Holmes, Wally Joyner, Darryl Kile, Matt Lawton, Raul Mondesi, Mark McGwire, Robert Machado, Damian Moss, Abraham Nunez, Andy Pettitte, Mark Prior, Neifi Perez, Rafael Palmiero, Albert Pujols, Brian Roberts, Juan Rincon, John Rocker, Pudge Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Scott Schoenweis, David Segui, Alex Sanchez, Gary Sheffield, Miguel Tejada, Fernando Tatis, Ismael Valdez, Matt Williams and Kerry Wood.

From a Red Sox related post I saw elsewhere.

i think i'm going to try and not pay attention to this

Okay, Kerry Wood actually kind of surprises me.

Haven't most of those already been outed?

(I really hope Pujols isn't implicated)

Steroids in Baseball pt.3 (Bonds, Giambi, Sheffield, Palmeiro, BALCO, etc.)

Okay, Kerry Wood actually kind of surprises me.

how? did you not see him in camp this year 40 pounds lighter and with a neck? and throwing in the high 80s instead of triple digits? all the nagging injuries?

kerry wood isn't actually in the report

based on ctrl + f

just because he wasn't caught doesn't mean he wasn't dirty.

looks to me like the only bombshell is "lol Clemens is fucked"

how? did you not see him in camp this year 40 pounds lighter and with a neck? and throwing in the high 80s instead of triple digits? all the nagging injuries?

You know, I really didn't pay much attention to him for the past two seasons. That makes a little sense, I guess.

maybe he was dirty but i doubt it. i wouldn't buy that him or prior were, b/c they were perpetually injured and out of shape when they weren't.

btw, it's now clear that the leaked list of names above is NOT correct.

Clemens and Pettitte are on it tho.

You know, being injured or not being a huge musclebound guy mean absolutely fucknuts as to whether you've used any of the banned substances. Not that anyone would know from listening to the braying idiots everywhere.

though i suppose injuries and muscles don't mean a damn thing when it comes right down to it. we can't assume anyone is on the shit just because there's not proof that they weren't, that's retarded

xpost

So which sports 'journalist' broke the earlier list and now looks like a massive dumbass?

WNBC, dumbass NYC TV station

some of the quotes in this report are awesome, tho

Separately, Giambi also obtained human growth hormone from “a guy in Las Vegas.”

Canseco was met with loud chants deriding him for his alleged steroid use, prompting Canseco to flex his biceps and tip his cap to the Fenway fans for “their originality

lol @ Bigbie/Segui/Rondell/et. al.'s personal checks to Radomski

Kirk,
Sorry! But for some reason they sent the check back to me.
I haven’t been able to call you back because my phone is TOAST! I have
a new # it is [Lo Duca’s phone number is listed here]. Please leave your #
again because I lost all of my phonebook with the other phone.
Thanks
Paul

Lo Duca is an idiot for all seasons.

i sort of hoped the report would include a wav file of a message lo duca left someone. "dude i am out of steroids!!" something like that.

The final, well-deserved nail in baseball's coffin.

hardly

Darryl Kile

what about cory lidle???

The final, well-deserved nail in baseball's coffin.

haha, there's a maxim about how it's outlasted the people who run it so long, it's eternal. But if you feel that way, don't let the door hit your fanny on the way out.

This IS a good spike for public sanctimonious bullshit, however.
