Now I get to RANT some more about the YANKEES

Have you seen the now infamous "CLEAT SLIDE" into second base by Shelley Duncan? Well, if you haven't here it is:


Duncan was suspended for three games for his role in Wednesday's spring-training fracas between New York and the Tampa Bay Rays. Duncan slid into the Rays' second baseman Akinori Iwamura with spikes raised after hitting a hard grounder off third baseman Evan Longoria's glove and trying to advance to second base on the play.

The suspension, unless appealed, will start at the beginning of the regular season.

I'm just sayin'....

Steroids, HGH, Roger Clemens and the Senate Hearings

First... ol' SF Giants' uber-star Barry Bonds tries to make us think he NEVER used HGH or the plain ol' steroids.... YEAH RIGHT!

Now, pitching great Roger Clemens is taking it to the bitter end. "I didn't do it!” he proclaims to the Senate Committe investigating the "Mitchell Report" prepared by Sen. George Mitchell, on MLB's use/misuse of STEROIDS/HGH.

Give me a break ROGER!

As far as I am concerned Andy Pettitte, NYY pitcher, is the only one with any, 1) scruples, and 2) BALLS. Admit your mistakes, and move on.

Any respect I 'had' for Clemens is long-gone down my commode.

AND, just so you know. I actually read a good part of the 600+ page report, the day it came out. I paid particular attention to what it said about each individual player named in the report (toward the end). I wanted to know the names of who had been outted, so to speak, and how honest they were with the Committee during it's investigations, etc.

Anyone else actually read any of The Mitchell Report?
