Who didnt see this coming?

Baseball, poor, pitiful Major League Baseball. Dumb, stupid Bud Selig and dumb, stupid us, the fans. Today the Mitchell Report comes out, its going to name names, its going to ruin the careers of many of baseball stars, and a lot of its "who is he" players.

Lets be truthful with ourselves. Everyone knew Barry Bonds was doping, and no one (but Bonds) denied it. Bonds got beat up by the media every chance they got, and he deserved it, he cheated, knowlingly cheated his way to some big time records. He got caught and will probably join Michael Vick in jail. The big bad Bonds was caught, everything is ok now....

Oh but wait, lets not forget that other 40+ year old who is breaking records, and doing things that people 20 years younger cant do. Who? Clemens, Roger Clemens, thats who. Yes, the Rocket himself. How is it that a man who is 45 can still pitch the way he does? Not drugs, of course not, dont be silly. Clemens would never do that, he's a good guy, and upstanding citizen, a role model.

Why has he gotten a pass with all of this? Seriously, who didnt think he was doping? Maybe pitchers can fly under the radar because they dont hit home runs. Not any more.

Clemens, according to several published reports of what his former trainer
told George Mitchell in his 20-month, $30-million investigation of the game, was
in possession of performance-enhancing drugs on multiple occasions.
If the
reports are indeed correct, which will become painfully clear later today when
the Mitchell report becomes public, baseball has its white Barry
Bonds.

Oh, poor Roger, your secret is out. You can now take your place with Bonds,
McGwire, Sosa, Canseco et al.

Clemens as a rookie on the left, Clemens a few years ago with the Astros. Sure we all get a little heavier as we get older, but most of us cant do the same physical activities we did when we were younger, let alone throw a 95 mph fastball on a consistent basis.

So even before the dreaded Mitchell Report hits the ground and kills baseball, Clemens is already done, toast, see you later. My question is this: Who from this "steroid era" is actually going to make it to the Hall of Fame? McGwire was the first to get the "I dont think so Mr Roid." There is no way Bonds will get in. Clemens chances may have just gone up in smoke, or some kind of pill or cream or injection....

Who will save baseball? Can it be saved? Does it deserve to be saved?
