The Daily News
ALL ARE PUNISHED.
1 Wow.
2 I would say, "Who knew?"
3 In some sort of way I feel I owe Barry Bonds an apology.
4 And in other ways, I feel not.
5 Yesterday the Mitchell Report on steroid use in baseball was released.
6 Well over eighty players were named in the report.
7 Anyone who believes there were under 100, I have a bridge to sell ya.
8 Anyone who believes this is limited to baseball, I'll buy it back from the guy I just sold it to and sell it to you for twice as much.
9 Whoa.
10 So NOW what?
11 Every major sport has had guys and gals juicing for years.
12 So many records have been tainted that they are talking about giving a blanket amnesty to everyone who has been caught.
13 Meanwhile, Pete Rose isn't in the Hall.
14 There may be a WHOLE bunch more joining him.
15 What struck me was that Jose Canseco, the guy whom everyone vilified two years ago for reporting this stuff, was not welcome at the news conference.
16 Is Canseco a hero, or is he a snitch?
17 SO many interesting issues on this one.
18 How do you spell h-y-p-o-c-r-i-s-y?
19 Whoops. I've misspelled it on a number of occasions.
20 But that was BEFORE I was juicing.
21 Hey, a little levity is needed here. At first I just figured the first 27 guys named would be Yankees. But I digress.
22 Well now, this is a story with legs.
23 Two reporters had to go to prison for not revealing sources on this case.
24 Greg Anderson has had to rot in jail for a couple of years for refusing to snitch on Bonds.
25 Bonds never had the integrity to stand up for his friend.
26 On KNBR, Ralph and Tom just called the entire thing a "mess".
27 Awards. Hall of Fame nominations. The Era of the Asterisk *.
28 And yet, it is the times in which we live.
29 What a story.
30 I was going to put every single guy's picture up here, but then I figured I should also put in the pictures of the commissioner, the managers, the trainers, the owners, the reporters, and yes...
31 The fans.
32 I just didn't have enough room.
33 I just couldn't throw a stone.
34 Who could?
35 It's a mess.
36 Whew.
37 INTERESTING story.
38 Well it's Friday; enjoy it and get to that shopping.
39 See ya all soon.
40 Peace.
