Mitchell Report
So are we ready to put an asterisk next to Clemens’ seven Cy Youngs, and the Yankees’ World Series championships in 1996, 1998, 1999 and 2000 which Pettitte (and in the last two, Clemens) played a major role in?

It might be time to put an asterisk on the whole damn league.
I think MLB needs to spend some of its $6.075 billion in revenue on some lab coats and pee cups and start testing daily like they do in cycling.
This from the guy whose favorite team brought Jose Canseco into the league.
Maybe if they had more to go on than a Red Sox VIP interviewing two busted New York trainers, there would have been some other names.
I'm not even going to respond to the "asterisk" comment. Have you even read the report?
I’ve read two or three summaries of the report, and from what I can tell, if people are going to discredit Bonds’ career, they’ve got apply the same standard to a lot of other players. One point that was made in the report was that every single team had a player at some point who could be traced to steroid use.
Owen is exactly right – the whole damn league needs a giant asterisk. I’ve always said that it’s unfair to ridicule one player for a problem that is clearly systemic. I don’t want to go back and make judgments about Bonds, Canseco, Clemens, or anybody else. Look, a lot of people cheated. Can baseball fans leave the asterisk silliness in the past? Can baseball executives just do a better job keeping steroids and other illicit substances out of the game from this point forward?
