My favorite player of all time is a tainted ass sucka.

Damnit........

80 more people on a list coming out at 2pm. This should be intereting indeed.

A former New York Yankee strength trainer says information he supplied to the George Mitchell investigation regarding supplying Roger Clemens with steroids is included in the Mitchell report scheduled to be released later today, a source close to the trainer told ESPN The Magazine's Shaun Assael.




Brian McNamee, who worked for the Yankees and as a personal trainer for Clemens and Yankee teammates Andy Pettitte, also told investigators that on at least one occasion, Clemens was in possession of steroids from another supplier, the source said.




The source said McNamee told investigators he supplied Clemens with steroids while Clemens was witih the Yankees, and prior to Clemens joining the team.
Also, The Bergen (N.J.) Record, citing a baseball industry official, says "several" prominent Yankees will be named in the Mitchell report. The paper said the source spoke to a third party who had seen the final report.

"It's going to be a rough day in the Bronx," the paper quoted the source as saying.

Baseball commissioner Bud Selig told the Chicago Tribune that he hadn't seen the report, but he was proud it is coming out.

"People can say Bud was just trying to cover his butt or take care of his legacy or whatever," Selig said, according to the Tribune. "I say [bleep] it. This needed to be done, and now we've done it. I'm just happy it will be out there and we can move on. I'm proud of it."

Scott Boras, who represents a number of high-profile players including Yankee third baseman Alex Rodriguez, told The Los Angeles Times he hadn't read the report. He did, however, say he's wary because he believes "the concerns of due process and the standards that apply to it are relatively unknown. Certainly, any results that occur from the report have to be looked at in the light that this is not a collectively bargained effort."

"I'm going to assume that a lot of the basis for this is hearsay information," Boras said, according to The Times. "It's not based on any kind of clinical testing, so it is widely a product of hearsay testimony. Without clinical testing or hard evidence, any report like this has to be reviewed with great scrutiny."

I think today will be a sad day in baseball.

I imagine a lot of names on this list that will be a little shocking.

A good day for bonds though...

[Danny Diamond]

Gotta agree Slimster.

Clay Hensley is not someone I expected on that list.

[Slimdust]

im pretty surprised with albert p and pudge...

[Danny Diamond]

Pujols is jacked bro. Pudge also lost like 30 pounds in the past few years.

It would have been cool to NOT see Pujols on the list though.

I am still glad no Ortiz and Manny on the list. Anyone else notice Mo Vaughn?

Very disappointed in Jason Varitek if this is true.

Also, please note this list is not confirmed at all.

[Dr. Giganto]

Well, Pudhe was implicated before, so I wasnt surprised.

I also wasnt surprised about Pujols for 2 reasons:

1. He was a lightly regarded prospect who ended up becoming one of the most feared hitters in the game in his rookie season

2. One of my co-workers has a relative in the Cardinals minor league system, and he said that he knew for a fact that Pujols was roided up

[Slimdust]

well true, it doesnt really come as a surprise i guess.. Just albert seemed liek a good guy who wouldnt do that. And pudge, well he is one of my all time favorites so again not shocked i guess, but a little dissapointed.

Im a little surprised manny wasnt on the list. For some reason he was someone who I figured would of been, but if this holds true and he is not in the list, good for him.
