Around noon yesterday, just as the snow was starting, a shit storm befell the world of the internet when WNBC released an early copy of George Mitchell’s “steroid list.”

A few hours later, web sites like this one were stuck with egg on our face when the true list came out without names like Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Varitek, and Rich Garces on it. I should have known it was bullshit when Rich Garces was on it. C’mon beast lair, damn! El Guapo on roids? What was I thinking? Anyways, we posted a lot of pictures of those players with the label “juicer” on it and that was probably wrong. So, being the bigger beast we appologize to anyone we may have upset. The Smoking Gun has the lowdown on the list.

As an aside, in 1996 when Roger Clemens unceremoniously ditched us for the Blue Jays, he became public enemy number one in my book. Clemens, always a great pitcher, didn’t need to cheat. He did it because he has always been a greedy, arrogant, self righteous jerk. And anyone who remembers his introductory press conference in Toronto, where he forgot to thank Red sox fans for supporting him for a decade despite his penchant for being a big old prima donna. Lets not forget Clemens mailed it in for his last two seasons in Boston, got fat, whined about carrying his own bags, and basically made it impossible to like him. And then when he leaves he rubbed it in our faces for years.

So, let the record state that I think its great that it was Clemens’ greed, which led him to ditch the Sox, that will ultimately lead to his fall from grace and elimination from the Hall of Fame. Have fun Rocket boy. It’s your bed, now go lay in it. You now belong to the ages, the starting pitcher on a team that includes Shoeless Joe Jackson, Pete Rose, and Barry Bonds.
