On the verge......

I initially said that I was going to be bored by the Mitchell Report, that all this steroid stuff has become tedious and annoying. I really underestimated this. Just from the few names that have been leaked this morning, i.e., Roger Clemens, I am on the edge of my seat.

The Bergen Record (NJ) has reported that other prominent Yankees including Andy Pettitte are to be named on the list along with Clemens. No current members of the Mets are on the list, which is somewhat odd considering the whistle blower is a former Met clubhouse employee.

This is huge. The Yankees have the most to lose in this. If guys like Posada, Mariano, and wait for it, wait for it....Jeter, are named on this list that run they had from '95 to '00 is tainted. What's even worse is that some of these guys are still on the team. Plus the Yankees are a franchise that market themselves on tradition, and it's history, as much as they do with their current team.

If any of the Boston players from the last few years end up on the list it could be as equally as daunting. Other teams just need to worry about marquee players that are part of a franchises legacy. For instance Piazza with the Mets, Helton on the Rockies, Smoltz or Chipper on the Braves, etc, etc. I'm not accusing these players, just trying to give an idea.

It's a good thing I never juiced. I heard it can cause you to lose your hair, and have excessive hair growth on your back. Sigh. (I figure I need to balance out that pic of George Mitchell. I hope this lovely lady does the trick.)
