Still stewing over Mitchell Report

Some things that a lot of people seem to overlook about the Mitchell Report:
Yankees fans want to forgive Andy Pettitte because he came clean. Uh, are we supposed to just believe that weak mea culpa just because Pettitte is, was and always has been a good guy? Sorry. He fessed up to taking HGH twice. But nobody can prove he did it more than that. He might have done it 20 times or 100 or whatever. It is fool-hardy to believe anything anybody says anymore.
This idea that the Yankees were dirty cheats is all fine and good. But this is a very crucial thing to remember: The Mitchell Report suggested a lot of guilt, but it did not suggest any innocence. In other words, just because somebody wasn’t named does NOT mean they are clean, or were clean. It does NOT mean they are innocent. It doesn’t! It just means that Mitchell’s hands-tied investigation couldn’t come up with better or more sources. If he named 80 or so, that means, surely, without doubt, that there are hundreds and hundreds more dirty players. So let’s not praise those who got off.
Also, let’s not be so quick to knock Jose Canseco. I’m not naming names, but you know who Canseco named. Again, by not being in Mitchell’s report does not mean innocence. And let’s always remember that, so far, Canseco has been right on about players and steroids/HGH/etc.
