Mitchell Defends Revealing Names

In a clearly appropriate pre-emptive strike, former Senator George Mitchell gave an interview defending his decision to name names, as you, know the whiney baseball "stars" will be bemoaning their fate, and spinning the "truth," at every opportunity.

George Mitchell insisted naming names was the right decision and said he was prepared for Roger Clemens and others to deny they used performance-enhancing drugs.


"We made every effort to establish the truthfulness of the information that we received," baseball's steroids investigator said Friday during a half-hour interview at his law office. "Several of the witnesses were interviewed in the presence of federal law enforcement agents who informed the witnesses that if they made false statements they would subject themselves to possible criminal jeopardy. So there was very strong incentives to tell the truth."

Not only should George Mitchell keep talking about this, but all efforts need to be made to nail these "creeps," and put them behind bars if possible. This is the only way to make sure everyone understands the seriousness, and the consequences of "cheating". The second part is that like Marion Jones, all records need to be amended and the offending cheaters taken off the books, and forever banned from baseball and the Hall of Fame, and if they don't, then it will only be a Hall Of Shame!!

Baseballs List Of Shame

The Mitchell Report came out and has a long list of steroid "users" listed, further sullying the once American past-time, and making it seem more like a cheating, criminal enterprise, than a game watched for enjoyment!

Barry Bonds has company – lots and lots of drug-tarnished company.

Roger Clemens, Miguel Tejada, Eric Gagne, Andy Pettitte, Paul Lo Duca are among the current players. Mo Vaughn, Kevin Brown and David Justice are among those who have retired. And on and on. At least 85 names in all. "For more than a decade there has been widespread anabolic steroid use," Mitchell said during a news conference. "Each of the 30 clubs has had players who have been involved."

Hopefully, this will either change the sport back to what it should be, or put it out of its' misery, because as a waning fan (after the STRIKES), and now all of these records that are tainted, I will not watch another game, unless they clean house and stay clean!! "Say it ain't so, Joe(Barry, et al!)", is a refrain that should be heard from now until everything is Fixed, those responsible, prosecuted, and every record changed to reflect the cheating, and until then "To Hell With Baseball"!!
