Dear Roger Clemens:

yendiThank you for your application. It was very amusing.

Seriously, the Mitchell Report is simply fascinating to read, along with the assorted denials, dodges, and bullshit. Selig's attempts to present himself as a strong and blameless leader, alone, are worth watching.
The Mets fan in me is happy to see that it's mostly ex-Mets (and given the supposed leaks of the report to teams, I'm a lot less surprised that Paul Lo Duca wasn't asked back). Then again, the vast number of players who used to be in the organization is disappointing. And there's nothing to say that this isn't the tip of the iceberg.
I'm surprised at Pettitte,and at Matt Franco (being Kurt Russell's nephew used to stand for integrity, dammit!). Not at Segui or Tejada. Dykstra and Hundley were so obviously juiced, their names are almost superfluous. And I do feel a sense of schadenfreude over the naming of John Rocker.
Biggest name I expected to see but didn't: Pujols, of course.
Overally, I'm still processing all the info, but I'm fascinated.
