Well gang, it's out! The Mitchell report has hit the stands, the names are named, and the poo is hitting the fan. It is drama that will only get better. Agents will have to speak, players will have to speak, I believe the Union is speaking right now and the Commish will have his say. Give me some popcorn and a beer!  Those early bowl games.. forget em'. I want my Baseball drama. 

However, I feel like I already got Cliff's Notes on this show. You see, the difference between myself and the  fatty's that write blogs is that I have actually been there.

That's right, I have actually thrown a pitch above the High School level. I know that Rick Reed had a three dollar curve and 2.7 million dollar change and fastball. I didn't get that from watching it on my fat arse while the wife made me fried bologna. No, I know that because I played catch with the guy. I have interacted with many players that some people dream of being around. And, with that, I also knew that steroids were the thing.

Now this is not to say I am doing my own lame report. Instead, it is to say that to anyone who played the game at a higher level, this steriod thing is not  too shocking. I knew people who did, some now in the majors, others wishing they were in the majors. Regardless, they popped the pink pill because it was the thing to do. It was the extra edge. I will say no more. It was a sad day, and at the same time  a day of revenge and happiness. Confused? Here's what I'm burping!!!!

SORRY FOR

The fans. Especially the fans!!!

The fans will always be one of the victims. It is by default. To be a fan one must give a true devotion to something they can not control. You root because of the purity it brings to the soul. Well, guess what soul?? All that stuff from the last decade was a hoax. Roll that up and smoke it. Or if you are Roger Clemens, shoot it!! I feel for you fans... Don't give up yet.

The players. The clean one's

No record will be cherished, no talent will be taken seriuosly. Because of this, if you are good, it must be the juice. It is more than this though. I think about all of the countless players who did it clean and got nothing out of it. Imagine being a left fielder for the Giants farm system the last decade. You didn't get a shot because Barry was rubbing his bald head with SUPER CREAM!!!! I toast a tall beer to you guys. You deserved better. The true athlete.

Hall of Fame and its voters

Man do these guys have their work cut out for them. The inductee ceremony the next twenty years is going to be really small if the Hall has any kind of conscience. All those past snubs over the years better get a nice suit and a speech. You are in guys!!! Trust me.

NOT SO SORRY

Roger and Andy

As a pitcher in college, you are constantly studying the craft. Watching tapes of yourself, tapes of other players, whatever. I remember watching a workout a few years ago. It was Andy Pettite and Roger Clemens. I was fascinated. I didn't care for them, but their routine was awesome!!! I actually used some of it in my workouts. I focused on my quads. Clemens said those were the money makers. Ha!!! Turns out their money makers were in a fanny pack off camera. They are both frauds and deserve nothing more. When they figure out when Clemens started using, they should take his Cy Youngs, or Prorate them. He knows all about that!!!!! You are a fraud Roger. Go hide with Mark McGwire.

Barry Bonds

Obviously! I watched Barry as a kid  at Three River's. And I got to see him last season as a really big old man ( Thanks Brit). I routed for this guy, and I actually got chills when he hit 756.  When I think about all the kids growing up wiggling their bats and choking up, it now makes me sick. Good luck Barry. Your Lawyer is not that good. You just got caught holding the gun while taping the murder with a hand held. Jail will be good for your temper.

Pete Rose

This has nothing to do with steriods, but it will drive the point home. Pete Rose was possibly the greatest hitter in baseball. He hustled, he was dirty, he was a true ball player. But he broke the rules, just like these idiots in George's report. Break the rules and no Hall of Fame. Sorry Pete! Look on the bright side. Your, "I should be in the Hall" pity party guest list just grew by 80.

AND THAT IS THE INSIDE DIRT
