Naming names

December

I was shocked by nothing Senator Mitchell said in his report or his press conference, but I will be shocked if the MLBPA doesn’t threaten some legal action against the implications against some it its players.

Because, let’s face it, some of the sources of this information are dubious—guys in trouble with the law for the most part. But the players union had its opportunity to take part in the investigation.

I think baseball and its union might be further apart now than it was before the report was made public and names were named. It will be interesting to see what the association says tonight.

And can some of these talking heads please, please, please (Steve Phillips) stop using the “He’s been tested and never proved positive” line. You cannot catch guys who used HGH. And you pretty much have to be an idiot to be caught doing designer steroids, especially if you know when the test is coming.
