When Roger Clemens was with the Houston Astros, he was one of my favorite players. How could you not like a dominant, power right hander. He came to the mound withy fury and determination. He had the anger and will to come straight at guys and strike them out. Well, according to the Mitchell Report released yesterday, we now know why Clemens was so furious on the mound. There is now reasoning behind him throwing a shattered baseball bat at Piazza. Roger Clemens was named in the Mitchell Report and allegedly took performance enhancing steroid in his ass. Way to be a role model to all the millions of fans, including your own sons.

Roger Clemens wasn’t alone though. His best friend Andy Petitte was also named, along with Tejada, Lo Duca, Gibbons, Roberts, Sheffield, Giambi, and of course Barry Bonds. These players are just a handful of the ones named. Odds are there were dozens more who took the drugs, but just didn’t get caught.

It’s said that Barry Bonds gave baseball a black eye. It’s most hallowed mark, the all-time homerun record, is tainted by steroid allegations. Now it’s safe to say that Clemens and the rest of the Mitchell crew have given baseball it’s second black eye.

Not much is known about what will happen to these players. Many of the named guys aren’t even active. The active players will get a slight suspension, while the retired players will have to worry about their name being tarnish and their possible Hall of Fame careers being nothing more then good career embelished with drugs and lies.
