What's the over / under on how many
current and former M's are in this report?

by Shawk on Dec 13, 2007 7:36 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

So, what is this Mitchell Report, anyways?
A list of players who secretly like Joni Mitchell music?

A list of players who secretly were friends with Kevin Mitchell?

A list of players whose relatives flew Mitchell bombers over Tokyo in WWII?

I figure
it's either a complete "where are they now" on the cast of EastEnders, or a reunion notice for alumni of Mitchell College.

You obviously don't understand
either the internet, or the whole idea behind the Mitchell report (aka "flogging in the public square").

I can now exclusively report that steroids close up your tear ducts, which must conclusively mean, without a shadow of a doubt, that EVERY ATHLETE THAT HAS NEVER CRIED ON THE FIELD IS ON STERIODS!!!!111!!!!11!  TEH INTERWEB SAID SO!!111!

I love the modern age, dammit.

One of the more interesting parts of this
will no doubt be the fact that Jose Canseco, who everyone within the game dismissed as a loudmouth when he started talking about steroids, will probably have been proven right, in a lot of cases.

all the evidence you need
about reporters loving him is how they described his comeback announcement from the press box. i almost vomited when they re-showed it on sportscenter

"OH MY GOD! IVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING MORE DRAMATIC IN MY LIFE! ROGER CLEMENS! HES HERE!! IN THE PRESS BOX!!"

i will admit that his t-mobile commercial with his wife when hes talking about coming back was pretty funny though.

He gives good quote
he "plays the game" with the press.  Gives them enough to keep them happy, but nothing real.  He's like Brett Favre, a good-but-by-no-means-great-anymore player who has built a huge mythology around himself, with the cooperation of the press, that people just swallow hook, line, and sinker.

The Media and Bonds
You have to remember that the majority of the Bonds media coverage is from the SF Chronicle/local media.

I don't think that the media - on a national level - has intentionally ignored guys like Clemens, it's just that no one has taken the time to write a book on the guy.

by PLU Tim on Dec 13, 2007 10:01 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Clemens and Pettite
are evidently named in the report.. according to the article on ESPN so are a few other high profile yankee's.... with the arcticle saying its going to be a rough day in the bronx.

Boras is already spinning it as a heresay report.

by MfaninAlaska on Dec 13, 2007 8:26 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

I'd probably spin it as well
if I were a player or agent.  Unless they have legal proof that a player used, then I would do the same thing.

That doesn't mean the named players are innocent or that I think the report is invalid, just that Boras' reaction is expected.

by Jed MC on Dec 13, 2007 8:36 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

This day will be nothing but spin
I believe Mitchell's got the first presser, then Selig goes this afternoon.  There will be so much spinning, recasting, and reinterpreting of the report, and so many finger-pointing GOTCHAS about the list of names, that nobody will actually take the time to read the thing and deal with its implications.

It's the real-world equivalent of McGwire's Simpsons appearance - "Do you want to hear the terrible, unimaginable truth, or do you want to see me hit some dingers?"

Jeff...
Can you delete a portion of a thread?

I think it sucks that so many people are re-posting these unofficial lists all over the internet.

If some players are on this "unofficial" list but not named on the report it's really tarnishing their reputations anyways.

Posting speculation of this magnitude isn't good for anyone.

Why?
I just know that I wouldn't want to have my site acting as a conduit to misinformation.

I just think it would suck to be a player erroneously listed on one of these unofficial lists.

I'd say allow other blogs to post that crap.

by PLU Tim on Dec 13, 2007 9:34 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

I applaud the sentiment
But at this point it's all just pretty much a parlor game anyway.  I'm not sure that "misinformation" is what's happening here, I think it's more "idle speculation".

It's really no different than following politics, music, or anything else - none of this morning's internet traffic, either here, or on Deadspin, or anywhere, will matter once the report is out.  Nor does it particularly matter now.

It's not like the players care, obviously - you can't tell me that some random MLB player who may be under suspicion is sitting at home right now, loading a bunch of small-scale, niche baseball websites, and getting enraged about what's being said.  

As has been said to me in a few other cases 'round here, if you're not interested in it, or aren't happy about what's happening, then skip the diary.  No harm no foul.

Did you even read the intro to the list?
"Is this list substantiated? No. Is it from an MLB official? No. Do we have any reason to believe it's anything but random bunk? No. .... t could very likely be one of those Web urban legends that somehow got around, like when everyone thought Scott Baio was dead. It probably is, actually. (We mean, come on: The list has Rich Garces on it.)"

Sorry...
I just think that this is a big deal and on some level a player is going to have a hard time shaking being on a "roid list" even if it's an erroneous list.

There will always be idiot that will point it out and hold it against the guy because they are idiots and I think that it's silly to be contributing to that.

I'm sure if Edgar Martinez were on these unofficial lists floating around, you would feel differently.

you can't stop idiots from being idiots
and I'm pretty sure that at this point, no, actually at any point, that the fans don't care. The only people that care are the media because it gives them easy stories to file.

by Matthew on Dec 13, 2007 10:15 AM PST up reply actions   0 recs

Actually, I wouldn't.
If Edgar Martinez were on the list, I would feel no different - and I'd mock him just as I mock everyone else that was a 'roider.  Even if the list had Edgar, Griffey, Aaron, Rose, Stargell, and (insert favorite player here) on it, tt's still a ludicrous exercise at this point to go through and "name names" for things that started happening 10 years ago, and for which nobody will be punished.

The whole thing's a giant CYA effot by Selig/Mitchell, and it has absolutely no relevance to any listed player's future.  Say Pujols is indeed on the list.  When he becomes a FA, if he's put up typical Pujolsian numbers between now and then, do you honestly think any GM would say "no, I'm not hiring him, because a lot of years ago he did steroids?"  Not gonna happen.

And yet if he wasn't in the Mitchell report you'd feel pretty bad about that huh?

Nope, I wouldn't
Why would I?  I don't know Edgar Martinez, I've never met him, and the words I say will never get back to him.  Why would I possibly feel bad about something like that?

Nor is my comment going to be read by millions of people who are going to repeat it over and over and over again regardless of it's validity.

I personally think it would be a terrible thing if a guy like Edgar Martinez's name ended up on one of these unofficial lists and people like you who figured it was no big deal to start mocking him started doing so all over the internet and thus costs him any shot at the HOF.

Just because it's not a big deal to you, doesn't mean that it's not a big deal to others.

I'm sorry if I think that "mocking a guy like any other 'roider" without any factual evidence is highly dangerous and unfair to many people.

"The business of putting out information to the masses" is not now, nor has it ever been, journalism.

Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it

And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me youre too blind to see

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you

Give you up. give you up
Give you up, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up
Never gonna give
Never gonna give, give you up

We've know each other for so long
Your heart's been aching
But you're too shy to say it
Inside we both know what's been going on
We know the game and we're gonna play it
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down

regardless of what steriods do
you still gotta be able to hit the little white thing being hurled at you with the bat.  Steroids dont help hand-eye coordination and we all know that is important.

It just might help people recover quicker from injury.  

Again, even if barry didnt juice, he was still an amazing ball player due to his abilities.  He just turned into a doubles/stolen base machine to the home run monster.  Steroids helped his doubles become dingers

He's welcome to suspend all of those players
because as far as I'm concerned, no one on the list is much of a loss to baseball, seeing as all of those players are terrible. It's not like they're suspending A-rod or Pujols. Suspend them all to give the impression they you care, even though you don't, since I don't think there are any teams that will miss any of the players on that list for 20 days.

Yeah... back in like 1998....
Josias Manzanillo - Ironically one of the people named in the Mitchell Report today.  Got hit in the balls by a line drive by Manny Ramirez in 1997. Ruptured a testicle - he sprinted off the field anyway.

http://archives.seattletimes.nwsource.com/cgi-bin/texis.cgi/web/vortex/display?slug=2533133&date =19970410&query=Josias+Manzanillo

Also Ironic, Hargrove was Cleveland's manager at the time.

Manzanillo was known for running on/off the field at full sprint every time he came in. I can't find the proof, but you'll have to trust me that he ran off the field that day at full sprint before going to the hospital to get his testicle removed.
