Hopefully this will spare us the 2008 version of "I'm Roger Clemens and I am retired. . . I think. Maybe not. I'll let you know in a little while. Gotta go New York and Huston are calling."

Without Roger, what will ESPN do for its lead baseball story for the next three months?

Jay Jaffe: It's very tough to analyze active players from a JAWS standpoint, at least until they pass their peaks, but the aforementioned trio of pitchers (Moose, Smoltz, and Schilling) come to mind, as do Andruw Jones (100.1/70.5/85.3 at a position where the benchmark is 113.4/66.9/90.1). Two years even as "bad" as last year (6.4) would put him over.

The thing I'm wondering about is if Nomar is on the list, and if his inclusion on the list would make it easier for the Dodgers to dump him and go with LaRoche...

Nomar's been the center of most of the marketing for the Dodgers the last 2 years. I doubt that will continue if he's on the steroid list.

8. Nomar will be lucky to have a starting job. I don't think he will be the focus of any marketing efforts. I expect the new face of the Dodgers will be A. Jones.

Piazza gets his revenge! (Unless, of course, he's in the report too...)

I remember thinking that when Beltre left and Drew arrived.

Then again, who would have thought Alex Sanchez and/or Neifi! would have been suspended for steroids?

Is someone going to actually read aloud the list, maybe from a Santa's naughty or nice list type scroll?

It'll be interesting Selig's reaction to it. If he takes a hardline, I expect lengthy suspensions for all the names on the list.

But I doubt he does. He'll probably just state that its all in the past, that the current testing program is working, and that there will not be any suspensions.

Hilarious. I guess cheaters sometimes win after all.

"The list includes several heralded pitcuers, including Cy Young award winner Roger Clemen."

I sure do get a lot of laughs here. Thanks everyone.

BTO, made me laugh. As well as the Logan's Run references. The Rankins would be on my All-Canada list as well as Barenaked Ladies (or did I miss them). I might even put Gordon or Maroon on my list.

If anything it looks like he has been eating a lot since his time with the Twins.

Thomas

I would never wish injury upon anyone (that's a lie) but a little Kathy Bates "hobbling" might do Beltre some good! :)

Not being in the report certainly doesn't prove someone didn't juice, but you have zero proof, you just think he must have done steroids. I hope he didn't and until I see any evidence I am going to assume he is innocent.

Did anyone see the Hebrew Hammer (Shawn Green) on the list?

I know he's not really a relevant player right now, but he gave me a lot of good memories and gave some of us tribe members something a bit more to cheer for.

Well, hes not on the leaked list. Basically everyone on the list is someone i assumed was involved, and there arent really any surprises.
