Look guys, I know what he, and the other 80-something players on that list did was wrong. There's no denying that. But why do we have to crucify them?

Don't cry for these guys. Clemens made a fortune in his twighlight years with the help of this stuff. Pettitte has made himself a pretty penny in the last few years too. They got caught, and their future earnig ability has been irrevocably damaged. I don't feel sorry for them.

I'll leave that to the Yankee fans, but don't look for me to defend those players or believe their spin. I always liked Mo Vaughn, but I couldn't care less about his excuses and stories.

For me, it is always about Yankees-Red Sox. It always has been. I'm not worried about the game of baseball. If you haven't noticed, attendance is up each year and I don't think attendance will suffer in 2008 as a result of this report. It's an unfortunate coincidence for Yankee fans that their team dominated during this disgraceful era and that they apparently were chief particpants in the cheating. For Red Sox fans, bad news for the Yankees is music to our ears. It's the most wonderful time of the year.
