mitchell report fallout thoughts

The Mitchell Report Fallout: Thoughts...

Wheeeeeeee! It's like Christmas morning! Does everyone else find this

as hilarious as i do?!?

More on this later, but a couple things i wanted to point out:

What the hell were the Astros thinking trading for Miguel Tejada

yesterday? Seriously, you don't think the fact that he might be in

this report didn't come up once during trade talks? Either the Astros

are freaking retarded, or they just don't care. As sad as it is, i'm

inclined to think it's the latter...

The MLB Players Association sent out a letter to players during the

investigation basically telling them not to cooperate. Lovely.

It was amazing to me how many of the players paid for these steroids

with a CHECK. Hello, paper trail?! Are you stupid? Let's see, i'm

buying something illegal and i don't want anyone to know about it.

Instead of paying him the $1,100 to $3,200 (average payment) in cash

i'm sure most of these guys carry, they pay with a personal check. The

guy they were buying them from, Kirk Radomski, kept copies of all the

checks players had given him. You think he wasn't covering his ass

just in case?

Players mentioned in the report who have links to the Dbacks are:

- Jason Grimsley (We already knew that)

- Matt Williams (Same)

- Alex Cabrera

- Jack Cust

- Chris Donnels

- Stephen Randolph

- Mike Bell

- Matt Herges

- Troy Glaus

- Jose Guillen

- Darren Holmes

- Multiple Members of the Dbacks farm team the El Paso Diablos (Who

reportedly repeatedly crossed the border into Mexico to purchase

steroids.? Players on that team include the aforementioned Cabrera,

Cust, and Williams, as well as notable names such as Alex Cintron,

Travis Lee, Lyle Overbay, Robby Hammock, and Junior Spivey. Not for

nothing, but Cintron, Cabrera, and Cust led the team in pretty much

every offensive category. I'm just saying...

More on this later as more comes out and i delve deeper into the

Report...
