I have no inside information. This is all just speculation on my part and what I hope to be the case.
I think they are breaking the investigation into two distinct phases: Pre-ban and post-ban. MLB officials know that they can’t suspend anyone for pre-ban violations (it wasn’t against the rules so [...]

Ok. I was on board with the whole idea of the investigation, however, I think that everyone, including ESPN, is missing something VERY BIG. In Selig’s statement he said as follows:
“I have asked Sen. Mitchell to attempt to determine, as a factual matter, whether any Major League players associated with BALCO or otherwise [...]

I can’t listen anymore – ESPN radio is just banned from my car. They just don’t get it, they never will get it. The proverbial VCR clock is still blinking “12:001.” They claim to care about baseball and then are critical of this investigation now. First of all, why weren’t all [...]

This issue is not going to leave us until someone takes a stand….
I’ve heard all of the arguments against: What purpose does it serve? What can they do? The records are intertwined, etc. etc. etc. Mitchell is a man of great integrity. He was mentioned as a potential Commissioner way back [...]

Funny thing is, the NFL has a big performance enhancing subtance abuse problem, but it doesn’t get covered the same way that it does in baseball. Heck the Carolina Panthers were in the Superbowl and it has come to light that five of their players had ties to HGH. But like MLB, the [...]

Sen. George Mitchell did as much as any man alive to bring peace to Northern Ireland, he should be able to handle these pampered baseball fuzzy thinkers, if given any authority.
Meanwhile, the biggest problem in football is trivial – end zone celebrations- that is a sport run by management, not players unions, [...]

So I’ve seen/heard two ESPN sportswriters already (Buster Onely and Tim Kijurkijian) complain that the steroid investigation is nothing more than a scapegoat hunt and what purpose could it serve. They argue that you can’t wipe away the records because they are all intertwined. They also wonder whether and to what extent the [...]

The news this morning stated that the official plan is to be released tomorrow. They also had the quote from Bonds complaining about how his life is in shambles, “Go to the Empire State Building and jump off, commit suicide and people can say, `Barry Bonds is finally dead.’” At least the HR [...]

Looks like MLB finally grew a pair. According to ESPN, MLB will conduct an investigation of past steroid use. The investigation will be headed by George Mitchell, former U.S. Senate majority leader from Maine. I’m all for this. Let’s air the dirty laundry. People can keep there stats and all, [...]

John B brought up a question that is worth asking again. We had suggested a Roundtable day for some point this season. Having looked at the schedule, and taking weather into account, my initial proposal is for Saturday May 20. That is the away game against the Mets and is the [...]
