Happy Holidays, baseball fans

Along with the eggnog and decorations, Major League Baseball has a little gift for you.

The Mitchell Report.

Former U.S. senator George Mitchell has announced a news conference for tomorrow afternoon in New York to announce the results of a 20-month investigation into the use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. Reportedly, there will be 60 to 80 names of former and current players included. After which there will be weeks and months of endless reporting, writing and broadcasting about who knew what and when they knew it among various major league franchises. I can hardly wait.

But let me get this question out because it's one of the few that I'm really interested in hearing the answer to. If, by the players using drugs to produce aberrant individual performances and, by logical extension, tainted game results -- all of which defrauded the public -- are the owners going to give the money back?

Just wondering.

Owners give back money? Now that is too funny. You crack me up! I bet Angelos is sitting back and trying to figure out how to spin this around, and blame the problem on the Federal Government and make the Feds give money to baseball.
