Every Word From Your Lips Is A Lullaby...

So, it's been a while since I've posted. Been doing my kwanzaa shopping. Duh! Got to get it out of the way before festivus hits, you know.

Anyhows, the big news that I can't seem to escape these days is all about the Mitchell Report. The implications this report will have on Major League Baseball will probably hurt the game for years to come. So far, the guys considered to be the greatest pitcher and hitter of our time, have been implicated, Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds. Who else's name will come out in the next few months, or weeks, who knows, but how much more damage can this do to the game. I was really surprised by Andy Pettite's admission to using HGH. He's always been a good guy, and I think that's one of the things lots of people need to keep in mind. It's not all bad guys like Canseco, Bonds and Jose Guillen, it's lots of good guys that you admire and support, like Pettite, Clemens and Tejada. I'm sure you'll hear a lot of what Pettite said, that they took them while injured to get back on the field. Excuse or no excuse, I'm not sure if it's something fans should forgive so easily.

I'm gonna come up with a top 20 or something records of the year soon, but I wanted to give some props to other favorites so far this year.
