Selig the Headhunter

Sounds like the commish wants some blood to be shed. Should be interesting who will fall.

The Commish is giving me Brandon Wood. I love it. He's ready to go on a killing spree. Should be a stark contrast from the Player's Union who will probably completely deny, criticize and stonewall everything.

I could see Pettite getting a 50 day suspension. That's it though.

Considering Selig was either asleep at the wheel or had his head in the sand for about 12 years, his comments today are hypocritical. I hold him more responsible for the problem than any other single individual.

Did he test positive? Did he admit to anything? Has anyone stated that they actually saw the ingestion of a PED? I think the Commish is going to need more evidence before he starts handing out suspensions.

That said, I hope he gets the death penalty!

The Players Union would throw a hissy fit and threaten to take their ball and go home if he dared suggested any of this stuff before the Report.

I haven't listened to his comments, but I doubt a damn thing happens. And nothing should. Leave all this crap in the past, why don't we??

Selig sounded like he was planning renditions to have named players water boarded.

I agree, but Selig seemed to indicate he's not opposed to disciplining people based on this report. So, looking at the report, the only person who is still active, and actually has remotely good evidence against him is Pettitte.

So we should all pretend that none of this ever happened and quietly walk away.

No. We should acknowledge that it happened and force the player's union to accept more indepth testing that will detect HgH and other PED's more accurately than the current testing allows for.

But, it does no good to punish people for past actions that players and managers and fans all benefited from. Most fans have already moved on. They aren't happy about the steroid era, but they aren't stopping it from allowing them to enjoy the game today.

No, we are supposed to pretend that a few more suspensions and some cosmetic gestures, fixes the problem and then quietly walk away as if it had never happend.

Exactly, the MLBPA had the collective balls of the owners for years. They still pretty much do.

Yes! We should. The Mitchell Report is HUGE, but not at all exhaustive I'm guessing. Those named are probably still a small fraction. If you want blood, then have fun watching Pawtuckett defeating Toledo next year for the "World Championship".

The sport is seriously cleaner than it has been for years. Even with the supposedly flawed testing now in place. There is no point to a witch hunt.

Sorry if this was not your intended tone in your post, morris. Nothing personal.
