non hawk - Mitchell Report

[LongTimeHawksFan]

I really don't care to watch baseball but I can't help to be interested in whose names will come up on this Report. What a disgrace to baseball that all of their top players are only top players because they are roid heads. At least we don't have to worry about that with basketball as skinny as most of them are with some exceptions but I really don't think that any of them are on steroids.

[DJlaysitup]

I don't think Solo or Chillz are...I wouldn't bet either way on anybody else though.

[PlayaPat420]

Well, not all steroids turn you into the Incredible Hulk but I get your point...

But with the size of NBA and all these new touch the sky dunkers, you never know, do you?

[DavidSomerset]

Except of course John Rocker and Raul Mondesi, but they don't really count.

[DJlaysitup]

that explains why ken caminiti died

[DJlaysitup]

Sports Illustrated says David Justice too.

Anybody with any sense knew something was going on way back with Lenny Dykstra that year when he came back to spring training with 10-20 pounds of new muscle and started hitting home runs.

Also, Ankiel went from a wild pitcher to a slugger in no time. Those things must really work!

[LongTimeHawksFan]

well i guess that is true does anybody know what kind of testing they give for nba

[LongTimeHawksFan]

man i knew it ever since the mcguire/sosa year that kind of gave it away. all of a sudden two guys just crush the old single year record at the same time that had stood for decades.

[DJlaysitup]

Yeah LTHF...I remember my brother (a long time Cards fan) went out and paid a bunch of money for a limited edition McGwire autographed bat after he hit to 70. I bet that bat's worth about $3 bucks now.

[TroyMcClure]

Thanks for the list!

Brady Anderson This guy was the absolute poster boy for this stuff. Dude hit 50 homers out of the blue. Been waiting for this for years.

Anybody else really happy to not see Chipper?

[LongTimeHawksFan]

dam that sucks I used to have mcguire's rookie card but lost it and I was so mad that I lost it....but now who cares!!!

[LongTimeHawksFan]

its on espn.com right now

[DavidSomerset]

Now I'm hearing Pujols might not be on the list afterall, that first leaked copy might not have been 100% accurate...I think it was close though, we'll see soon enough.

Farnesworth was a Brave for 1/2 a season and Damien Moss pitched for his first 2 years. We found him on the Austrailian National team I think.

Glad to see no star Braves on the list: No Maddox, Smoltz, Glavine, Chipper, Andrew, Furcal, Renteria, Texiara, Francour, etc.....glad none of those all star type Braves and X-Braves showed up.

The best benefit to steroids (other then adding muscel) is speeding up recovery time whether it is from injury or days rest from pitching, and lengthening careers of aging players. Chipper is injured too much to be using and heals to slow to be using, Andruw looks to soft to be a user and never recovered from his shoulder injury last year, our 3 hall of fame pichers have normal body structure and 2 are finess pitchers making them unlikely candidates.

Braves are looking really clean compared to alot of teams right now.

What about the Astros trading for Miguel Tejada one day before the list comes out. Had they waited until after the list came out he could have been had for much less.

Wonder what the punishmnents will be ? You come down hard on Barry and let the others walk.

I see nothing wrong with a one year suspension. Anything less then that would make all this work not worth the trouble. If your going to have rules they need to be inforced much stronger or the risk is not worth the price of punishment when your talking millions of dollars to men who have no other way of making that kind of money but by puting up big stats in baseball.

Agreed on Anderson.

One thing I wonder though...how thorough is this list? If investigators were getting this stuff from clubhouse moles and suppliers who talked, I wonder how many didn't talk? There could be a lot more guys who they just couldn't get anybody to rat on.

P.S. - Whaddaya bet Rocker tries to write a book?

[LongTimeHawksFan]

I thought a-rod would be on it for sure

You forgot Farnsworth, Caminiti, Holmes, Sheffield, Moss, Byrd, Joyner and Boone. Boone hit for us in that series against the Yanks, if I remember correctly.

Rocker was great for a while, man!

We have to have the most people on this list.

[LongTimeHawksFan]

it sounds like the player's assoc. was getting paid off to delay the testing or something
