Rocket Man... burning out his fuse up here alone.

The Mitchell report has been released and although many players including Andy Pettit, Miguel Tejada, Eric Gagne and Gary Sheffield were all singled out, none so worse as the great hurler Roger Clemens. Clemens, whose name appears 82 times on 9 different pages will surely see his immortal legacy effected by George Mitchell's universally condemning report on steroid abuse in baseball. Stay tuned for an updated article on how I feel the Steroid Era should reflect in the record books and in Hall of Fame voting.

Why Oh Why are we Paying this Guy?

The man I am referring to is J.P. Riccardi. If they Jays make the playoffs this year, clad in their retro powder blue jerseys, I'll eat my words. Otherwise I beg this question - Why are we trading Alex Rios? With Halladay, Burnett, Marcum and McGowan pitching is not what we need. We need offense! An outfield comprised of players such as Reed Johnson, Matt Stairs and Adam Lind is terrifying considering that the Jays field underachieving offensive players at short and behind the plate already. Couple that with the injury threat of players like Glaus and Thomas and I would not be surprised if the Jays finish this year worse than last.

Forget Cabrera

Forget Miguel Cabrera, a phenomenal talent in his own right. As the Tigers get set to add Dontrelle Willis to an already stellar rotation that includes Justin Verlander, Nate Robertson, Jeremy Bonderman and Kenny Rogers the rest of the American League should be terrified. Forget the Angels and the Yankees, the only hope for the rest of the American League is if the Red Sox make a trade for Johan Santana. Quite honestly, I'd rather they didn't.
