Birds on Roids

For those of you not aware, Roger Clemens was named in this report, and is the superstar of this Mitchell Report.

According to the Report, Clemens started the steroids, documented in the report, when he signed with the Toronto Blue Jays. Clemens won two Cy Young Awards as the best pitcher in the American League in his years with Toronto. Clemens and Jose Canseco, as members of the Toronto Blue Jays in the late 90's early 2000s, were documented to receiving and injecting themselves with steroids in Toronto.

The Mitchell Report, available at MLB.com, TSN, Sportsnet and the whole of the internets, details the evidence and findings of Senator George Mitchell. It is an interesting read to say the least.

I present an excerpt extracted from the report:

<i>Roger Clemens signed with Toronto in 1997, after spending the first thirteen
years of his career with the Red Sox. After McNamee began working for the Blue Jays in 1998,
he and Clemens both lived at the Toronto SkyDome (there is a hotel attached to the stadium).
McNamee and Clemens became close professionally while in Toronto, but they were not close
socially or personally.
Jose Canseco was playing for the Blue Jays in 1998. On or about June 8-10,
1998, the Toronto Blue Jays played an away series with the Florida Marlins. McNamee attended
a lunch party that Canseco hosted at his home in Miami. McNamee stated that, during this
luncheon, he observed Clemens, Canseco, and another person he did not know meeting inside
169
Canseco?s house, although McNamee did not personally attend that meeting. Canseco told
members of my investigative staff that he had numerous conversations with Clemens about the
benefits of Deca-Durabolin and Winstrol and how to ?cycle? and ?stack? steroids. Canseco has
made similar statements publicly.385</i>

Here is the juiciest details detailing Roger Clemens and his tenure in Toronto:

<i>Later that summer, Clemens asked McNamee to inject him with Winstrol, which
Clemens supplied. McNamee knew the substance was Winstrol because the vials Clemens gave
him were so labeled. McNamee injected Clemens approximately four times in the buttocks over
a several-week period with needles that Clemens provided. Each incident took place in
Clemens?s apartment at the SkyDome. McNamee never asked Clemens where he obtained the
steroids.</i>

But hey, the Blue Jays signed David Eckstein today!

It sucks that one of the greatest pitcher of all time is about to go down but to go down as a blue jay is even worse. Maybe Rogers should spend to money to get players in so we can actually win and by doing that we can sweep all this under the rug. HInt HInt. I did not bundle everything I own to watch a losing team every summer.

FAce it, these guys are never going to admit to it. All their accomplishments all their mvps, all their records. They are not as dumb as Marion Jones. people can say say they did it but you'll never here clemons or bonds stand up at a press conference and say, yes i took steriods. Their egos and wallets are so full of cash they won't admit it. they got too much to loose. The people who admiit it are the ones who have nothing to loose like the cansecos and palmerios. Clemens is going to take the Bonds road out of the situation. deny deny deny!

The 162 games are kind of nice to watch though, Alden. Baseball is the thinking man's sport. It's good and contemplative because of those 162 games.


Plus, as we see now, it's totally gay.
