A Funny Day in Baseball

Who says that the Mitchell Report implicating players of drug use is a black day in sports? Are you kidding?!!! It's freakin' hysterical! How can it not be funny seeing the faces of Bud Selig and Donald Fehr shocked to learn that Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds took drugs.

You have to be pretty F-in stupid to be surprised by this. Come on. Clemens in nearly 50 years old and throwing harder than he did when he was 26? Barry Bonds has hit more home runs in the past 6 years than in his first 9 years in the major leagues. Not only that, but he's mistaken for a life-size bobble-head all the time. How can a human's head grow 7 sizes from when you turn 37 years old?

And for Orioles fans - both of you, they were hit hard. Greg Zaun, Kent Merker, Miguel Tejada, Jerry Hairston, Jr., Kevin Brown, Todd Williams, Howie Clark, Jay Gibbons, Jason Grimsley, Gary Matthews, Jr., Larry Bigbie, Jack Cust, Tim Laker, Brian Roberts, David Segui, and Raphael Palmeiro. All were in the report. And for the most part, these guys sucked!!! Didn't see Brady Anderson's name on the list, but he hit 50 home runs in 1996 after averaging 7 per year for the previous years.

Sports writers, however, are crying foul. Jeff Pessan says, "Mitchell Report provides gossip, not solutions." Sean Deveney sobs, "Mitchell report is unfair, full of false hopes." Boo-hoo. Let these players rot in hell, I say.

What will come of this? I think the Bud Selig will issue the sternest pointed finger warning in the history of baseball. All of these men deserve a harsh time-out. Players will be forced to pay fines totalling hundreds of dollars. The no-name players may even face a game suspension.

He followed up the presentation of the report by saying that Major League Baseball has the toughest drug testing in all of sports. What the hell does that say? No one else is testing? Open message to Mr. Selig - You're a baffoon!!! Don't dish out the crap when we can see before our eyes that what you producing stinks!!! Selig needs to be fired. And until the players' union and the management of MLB actually crack down on this problem, they will continue to shrink into oblivion while the NFL soars to new and higher heights.

The sports writers are just mad that they missed that narrow 15 year window of opportunity of breaking the story on these players themselves.

As far as tough testing policy, MLB still does not test for HGH nor are their current "tests" even random.
