Some seemed shocked Clemens was in the report. What? The guy was hurling at age 45 like he was 25, of course he was juicing. I like Clemens, and it’s sad to see his reputation tarnished, but not much of a shock there.

There were some “surprises” in the sense that I never put one and one together and should have. Brian Roberts? Well I guess that explains his Ruthian April of ‘05. 8 dingers in 23 games, maybe he figured he better lay off since that translated into 56 homers over the course of a season.

Personally, I don’t fault the guys who did take them. Clearly it was going on, lots of guys were doing it, you can bet Mitchell had the goods on another 100 or so guys but simply couldn’t provide enough substantial evidence to name their names.

Biggest heartache on the list? Gotta be Dykstra. I wanted to believe he truly was just tough as “Nails”, a hustler, true player in the sense of the word. Obviously I don’t think the drugs directed his career necessarily, or for most of the players for that matter (save a few obvious ones of course), but it pains me that his name was on there.

I’m glad it’s out, let Selig come up with some absurd response as he always does, let’s put some new rules in place and move on.

And I approve of the asterisk on #756.

Could say paragraphs more but was wondering how everyone feels about the report and fallout.
