Mitchell Report

Everyone knew that the use of performance enhancing drugs was rampant in MLB. So, what does MLB do? It goes and hires an attorney (and former senator) who is on the board of Red Sox to investigate the issue. And what a surprise does he deliver! He frames a bunch of former Yankees in his report. Are there any prominent Red Sox players in the list? Hell, No! Half of Boston expected Manny to be on the list, but no, Mitchell could not find even a single big Red Sox name to put on the list. He based his entire list off two people who confessed. One of them was a fitness coordinator with the Yankees and the other one was in a similar position with the Mets. Makes me wonder if he really tried to investigate non-NYC teams at all. Yes, I am a big Yankees fan. But I am a baseball fan first. And I really appreciated the way Red Sox played this year, and honestly tipped my hat to them. Somehow, I just cannot buy that Mitchell was unbiased in his investigation/report.
