Rather than having each Congress(wo)man on the committee take turns asking unfocused questions in order to score political points, the fact finding process would be greatly enhanced if they used committee counsel to ask the questions.

What happened to others cited in that report... didnt Brian Roberts admit to using steroids.. why is he not called up.. and Dave Ortiz...

Welcome to the Yankee-Steroid Congressional Hearings. I totally agree -- where are all the people who admitted using steroids? Why would they only ask these three? It doesn't make any sense. Knobby hasn't spoken publicly. Clemens denies it. Wouldn't they learn more about steroids in baseball by asking the guys who freely admit to taking them?

Why would they only ask these three? It doesn't make any sense.

There were plenty of high-profile players who confessed. It doesn't make sense to only drag in three people when eighty were named.

George Mitchell's "reputation" and his Congressional rolodex were bought and paid for the moment he was tapped to write this report. That the Yanks are being called to the podium (and not anyone else) is all part of Mitchell's purchase price.

Of course it does, it fits with the nature of the witch-hunt. People are only going to go after the big names. Did you honestly think if they had a chance to choose between Clemens and say, Denny Neagle, they'd choose Neagle?

The "problem" isn't that Mitchell is on the Sox payroll, the problem is that a report needed to be generated in the first place.

I don't think Radomski & McNamee have any Boston connections, but I could be wrong.

Again, there are other high-profile players. What about Brian Roberts, Paul Do Luca and Eric Gagne?

These three active and well-paid athletes carry less importance than Chuck Knoblauch, who no one has heard from in years?

You also had Kevin Brown, Miguel Tejada, Gary Matthews Jr., Rick Ankiel, Paul Byrd, Troy Glaus.

Fine, maybe it makes sense, but it's a sham.

Paul Byrd would not deny injecting HGH up to and including the 2007 post season, as he told the press the night of Game 7, ALCS v Boston. Quote appeared in the NY Daily News(article by Anthony McCarron and TJ Quinn, 10/22/07 I believe). When asked if he was still on HGH he said it was his private business, that he still had a pituitary condition. If anyone should be the poster boy for the HGH Era--it's a misnomer to call it the Steroid Era but it sounds worse--it's Paul Byrd and the management of the Cleveland Indians. Because of the miraculous timing of his 'outing' by ESPN employees, he was overlooked in the hysteria following the Mitchell report. If this isn't political, nothing is. 1000 units of HGH, 100 syringes, etc., kept his stuff in various clubs' fridges, just kept saying it was medically approved. I wonder is his book still coming out about his journey as a Christian?
