Mitchell Report

Winners never cheat. Cheaters never win. I guess that doesn't apply in Major League Baseball. What a joke! The great game will never be the same as far as I'm concerned. I feel cheated, duped, betrayed, you name it. I guess Roger Clemens' so-called power training sessions were no more than a needle and some cream. I'll still watch the game, but not without some trepidation. Hard to believe that through all of this, Jose Canseco is the only one that had the courage to tell the truth. Bonds-cheater. Clemens-cheater. Two guys that kids idolized were nothing more than frauds. What a shame.

You've convicted these people with no actual proof. You've taken the word of a confessed drug dealer and convicted everyone. Don't you think the more names he gives, the lesser the charge? I hope you people are never on a jury, and I hope I never need one.

Yes, I agree some of these people are guilty, but I will not pass judgement, until they are proven guilty.

Why is everyone so down on the players, let's put the blame where it needs to be.

The owners knew, the GM's knew and the U.S. Government knew about the steroid issues.

When MLB had the big strike a few years ago, many people lost interest in baseball.

So what better way to bring the fans back than to have a "Homer Attack" from Big Mac and Slammin' Sammy ?

And beyond that, it was never against any rule because the rule had not been instituted.

And look who gets to sit back and spend millions on a big "$ 225M / Ten Year Deal", the owners
