Day of Reckoning

Man, what a day for baseball.

George Mitchell's official report on steroid use in the MLB is released and the names are flying. Many we're not surprised by (Bonds, Giambi, Clemens, Tejada), others we're disappointed by (Pettite, Gagne, Loduca). But for all, we're wondering --- how could you be so stupid?

Am I the only one out there who was simply relieved that certain names did NOT appear in the report? Pujols, Big Popi, Matt Holliday, Carlos Lee, Carl Crawford, Greg Maddux...whew.

I'm sure this marks only the beginning of this tale as players start rebuking the report or coming forth and confirming. It's a really sad time for baseball. They'd finally won some of the confidence and interest back of the fans since their '94 salary disputes and this certainly won't help.

Sad....very sad.
