I'll be on the Ron Smith show on Baltimore's WBAL at 4:10 eastern, to talk about the Mitchell Report. Which The Smoking Gun, naturally, has already posted.

    Couldn't they just post a list of the people I'm supposed to hate? I'm really quite indifferent, so it would be a great help....

    Wow, the Smoking Gun really scooped this one, you know since the Mitchell Report is also right there on the official website of Major league basbeall, mlb.com

    Also 90% of the names were already suspected or had been 100% KNOWN/acknowledged or WIDELY Speculated ( a LOT of blogs had mentioned Clemens the last couple years, as well as the whole CLemens and Pettite "training" together thing).

  4. Matt Welch   18 years ago

    John -- Smoking Gun had it first.

  5. ClubMedSux   18 years ago

    What I find interesting is that the number of players suspended since the testing started has been disproportionately Hispanic, and yet the athletes identified in the report are disproportionately non-Hispanic. I don't have an explanation for it, but just thought it was worth pointing out.

  6. robc   18 years ago

    ClubMedSux,

    When they explained the testing procedure, they did it in English?

  7. J sub D   18 years ago

    I don't know about y'all, but I'm setting aside a couple of days to digest this monumental (311 pages plus appendices) document. 2020 C.E. seems good.

  8. J sub D   18 years ago

    I think this is the real one, I'd appreciate it if you'd alphabetize your 2:45pm post. Thanks

  9. I think this is the real one   18 years ago

    Get a California prison employee. Its too complex for me to do. Oh, and FYC! 🙂

  10. stephen the goldberger   18 years ago

    Lenny Dykstra?? Why are they hating on the G.O.A.T.
