I think that will be the only name on the list to honest...

actually, what supreme just did is why players hate this stuff... he just threw out a big list of names with no reasons behined it... wild speculation...

I mean, this guy got bigger or this guy hit more home runs... it's disrespectful to the players that worked hard to get where they are.

Supreme Olajuwon 12-12-2007 03:28 PM

How is it disrespectful? I said I would not be surprised if those names ended up being on the list. I'm a person who constantly defends putting McGwire in the hall and not putting an asterisk on Bonds' record. I didn't accuse anyone of anything. Please point out where I said Person A took steroids.

OssMan 12-12-2007 04:08 PM

No name would surprise me except for like David Eckstein or something. Actually nah he is a piece of shit. But I am still believe that Placido Polanco and Gabe Kapler are on roids

RP 12-12-2007 04:14 PM

I'm pretty sure Brett Boone will be one of the first mentioned...

Vinny Castilla for sure. Didnt he have cancer or something?

Chipper jones

John Smoltz

AROD I would not be shocked at all if A-rod popped up.

RP 12-12-2007 04:15 PM

Not Vinny Vastilla, Andres Galarraga

by saying you wouldn't be suprised is saying you have reason to think they would vs. other players who would suprise you.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 12-12-2007 08:58 PM

If somebody thought I took steroids when I really didn't, I would take it as a compliment not an insult so I don't really agree with the whole "disrespectful" thing

Basiclly they're calling you a cheater when you didn't cheat... I relate that to being called a Liar when you didn't Lie and for me that's a big hot button...

I'll LMFAO if there are no Red Sox on it since mitchell has a part ownership in the sox.

Also, there is talk that MLB may even try to shield if any "top stars" are on the report.

Jesus Shuttlesworth 12-12-2007 09:17 PM

I guess if somebody was like "I wouldn't be surprised he cheated" I'd be a little disappointed, but I wouldn't really care since I would know that I didn't cheat.

McLegend 12-12-2007 09:22 PM

I hope Clemens is on it.

Yeah and why am I not allowed to say that? This whole witch hunt has been entirely founded on stereotypes of what players and their stats should look like. Just because the players I mentioned fall into the stereotypes set forth by those in charge of the witch hunt doesn't mean I support it. It just means that they have the stats or physical changes that are consistent with what has come to be recognized as an identifier of enhancement usage by those in charge.

If I saw a Muslim in an airport wearing baggy clothes, I would be willing to bet that person was going to be searched moreso than a white man in a suit. It doesn't mean I think the Muslim's a terrorist, it means I think he fits the stereotype set by those in charge of someone who might be a terrorist. What I personally think about any of these people is irrelevant.

RP 12-12-2007 11:23 PM

I dont remember alot of stuff McGuire said at the hearings, but if he's on this list and he was found to of lied or withheld info , are they going to prosecute him like Bonds?

Supreme Olajuwon 12-12-2007 11:32 PM

I don't think so. If I remember correctly all McGwire said was he didn't want to talk about the past.

loopydate 12-12-2007 11:49 PM

Yeah, McGwire said almost nothing of note.

Placido is not on that list. If he is, I will cry myself to sleep

RP 12-13-2007 09:58 AM

When i read that MVP's would be named, assuming we arent just talking about Barry Bonds, Ken Camineti, and Jose Cansaco, the first two people that came to mind were Larry Walker and Vlad Guerrero

Evil Vito 12-13-2007 10:16 AM

<font color=goldenrod>According to Bob Klapisch in the Bergen Record, citing ‘an industry official,’ no Mets from their current 40-man roster are named in the report.

However, ‘several prominent Yankees will be named, writes Klapisch.</font>

Dragon 12-13-2007 10:25 AM

All I've been hearing is how it will be a "bad day in the Bronx" and how "several prominent Yankees will be named".

Man, I do want to know, but I also am not looking forward to hearing this.

Dragon 12-13-2007 10:31 AM

I can definitely see Clemens and Pettitte (unfortunately) on the list considering they've been linked in reports before. If Jeter, Posada, Rivera, Cano or A-Rod are on the list (from the current roster) I'd be pretty damn disappointed. I'm not sure how far back this is going but they've said former players will be on the list too. Bernie would disappoint me the most probably.

RP 12-13-2007 10:36 AM

I'm sure no Red Sox will be named. Wouldnt want Georgy getting taking off the board.

RP 12-13-2007 10:48 AM

ESPN is reporting that the personal trainer of Roger Clemens and Pettite is saying that he gave Roger Clemens steroids.

Evil Vito 12-13-2007 10:53 AM

<font color=goldenrod>I bet MLB is actually hoping some of the big name players are named in this report so they can get suspended and MLB can say "see, look! even the best, most expensive players aren't protected!!!!"</font>

You can't suspend people for doing things that were not against the rules. They are against the rules now, but this list he's to be presenting is coming from a time when the use was not against any baseball rules.

Evil Vito 12-13-2007 11:02 AM

<font color=goldenrod>If they aren't suspended, I'm willing to bet some sort of asterik is placed during the season in which the drugs were purchased for each player implicated.

Either way, every place I'm reading says there will be some sort of punishment.

Guess Yankee fans can breathe a sigh of relief because I'm hearing that Jeter and Rivera are NOT on the list. Wouldn't shock me at all though if Posada is though.</font>

Innovator 12-13-2007 11:03 AM

Clemens has been named before the report is even out

CMoooooooooooooon Ortiz or Manny, big money big money

RP 12-13-2007 11:03 AM

maybe the greatest pitcher ever getting tattooed as a steroid user is probably not what baseball wanted at all. Its worse then a suspension. We're talking about a complete and epic legacy ruined if this proven.

RP 12-13-2007 11:09 AM

i'm gunna laugh so hard if no Red Sox are named

Dragon 12-13-2007 11:13 AM

The greatest hitter and the greatest pitcher of the past era in Bonds and Clemens linked to steroids is pretty unfortunate.
