Seems like it.

Nonetheless, baseball's going to take a HUGE hit today, it's history we're watching right now.

The report is online if you don't feel like listening to Mr. Excitement's press conference.

There is a leaked report going around... it is probably baloney but includes some big names on there...

A bunch of no shocker names on there, but also guys like Pujols, Pettitte, Varitek, Damon, Prior, Tejada, Gagne, the Boone bros (always had a feeling about Bret), Bagwell... lots of bums on the list too. Of course, these "leaked" names are probably BS, but I can see all of those guys having juiced.

Damon? I would be shocked. He's such a thin little guy, he never looked bulked up at all.

Names are in the report... Clemens is indeed in there. But man, I'll be damned if I'm going to read 400 pages.

[SludgeFactory]

some of the bigger names I saw in skimming over it:

David Justice
Eric Gagne
Kevin Brown
Paul Lo Duca

 

[iamwiz82]

Look at all those cancelled checks in the appendix. Someone needs to total them all up.

I'm listening to Mitchell right now--most boring speech evar.

 

[Chiboy]

Prior, Woods, Perez, Garcia Para, & Sosa were the Cubs named.

 

[Modeps]

Miguel Tejada
Gary Sheffield

 

[music]

Looks like names start on page 149 of the report, with Lenny Dykstra.

He seems to be injecting a lot of personal opinion into it. I think he may be confused as to why people are listening to him.

Why would it be any different? If someone cheated, I don't think they deserve to have their "records" recognized.

I do think Pete Rose should be in the hall of fame (unless he also cheated). I think it's absurd that the penalty for gambling is far more than the penalty for cheating in baseball.

This is why Pete is not in...

"Voting shall be based upon the player's record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team(s) on which the player played."
http://web.baseballhalloffame.org/hofers/bbwaa.jsp

He bet while mangaing a team in baseball. I fell his records and stats should stand but he does not fit the profile and rules for being in the HoF. The HoF is not just about records, even though most think it is. For that reason I do not think he should be in. Of course neither should Bonds.

That's not why he's not in. He couldn't be voted in because after he was banned the HoF created a rule that prevented anyone with a lifetime ban from baseball from being eligible to be in the HoF.

boring sport, this is actually the only interesting thing about baseball,
