Welcome to

The latest disappointment from baseball comes with the release of the Mitchell report, which names names of alleged steroid users, including heretofore hall-of-famer-to-be Roger Clemens. Henceforth to be known as Clemens *. Baseball sure has problems. It’s boring, the players don’t resonate with the general public (aside from spoiled millionaires, but there aren’t enough spoiled millionaires to fill stadiums all summer), and now this… cheating through drug abuse rumored for years, with baseball doing essentially nothing about it. Compare that with professional cycling (which certainly has PR problems due to drug abuse)– cyclists are tested every time they win, randomly during training, and pretty much any time the powers-at-be get suspicious. How about baseball?

 It seems like a clean sweep is called for to get the public back on baseball’s side. Doesn’t the 12 step program begin with acknowledging you have a problem?
