Old Man Mitchell Talks Steroids, Northern Ireland
Posted by ryan on December 13, 2007
With the George Mitchell Report now released to the public, an entirely new avenue of discussion has been opened. Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte, Barry Bonds, Mo Vaughn and Miguel Tejada were all mentioned. But what about the guys we all expected? Where’s Javy Lopez, Bret Boone, Brady Anderson and the Giles Brothers?
The big story here is Clemens. For the last couple years, my friends and I have assumed Clemens was juiced. That mysterious “thinking period” of 50 games had us thinking “suspension swept under the rug.” Now comes the difficult part for the media: Putting Clemens in the same light as Barry Bonds. They’re both legends of the game. And now, they’re both revealed as cheaters. It’s up to the media to portray them the same exact way. If Bonds isn’t going to the Hall, neither should Roger.
My personal favorites have to be the stories mentioned with Juan Gonzalez, Paul Lo Duca and Eric Gagne. On a road trip to Toronto, Gonzalez’s goody big of syringes and drugs was caught at the border. Meanwhile, LoDuca’s personal check bounced. And Eric Gagne? Well, the only contact he made with Kirk Radomski was when he asked Radomski how to get air out of a syringe.
Maybe next time, we won’t have to deal with the rantings of a senile George Mitchell. Did he just read the same speech twice? Listen, old man. Nobody gives a shit about Northern Ireland and your parent’s immigration struggles. Start listing names.
An entire list of names is available after the jump. Props to Deadspin for weeding through the 400+ pages and getting what everyone wants: A list of names. Does it answer all of our questions? Of course not. But it’s definitely a nice start.
All the players listed in the section VIII. B.: “Information Regarding Purchases or Use of Performance Enhancing Substances by Players in Major League Baseball” (section 3 is “Radomski¹s Distribution of Performance Enhancing Substances to Major League Baseball Players”)
