So. The media is all over this Mitchell report. Naming names. Getting reactions. Focusing in on this bit or that. Replaying the Commissioner's vow to clean up the game.
And, I know - KNOW - y'all have been waiting for my thoughts.
I can't help but think this is like finding out that the politician who told you everything you wanted to hear when running for office lied to you.
Didn't we all know players were walking medical experiments? Baseball owners did. The commissioner did. The media and the fans did. We didn't really need proof.
And, given that EVERYONE knew about the drug use . . . . the vow to clean up the sport kinda sounds more like a CYA than actual intention. I suspect that 5 years from now, we'll be hearing all this over again.
