The performance enhancing drugs scandal and baseball took another hit with the Mitchell report this past week … but seriously, was anybody surprised by the people named in the report?
1. On a first grade teacher coming to school drunk, vomiting, abandoning children on a field trip, and passing out on the school bus:
“At the very least, she didn’t sleep with any of them …”

2. On a Christmas turkey stuffed with 12 different birds, that costs more than $1,000 and serves 125 people:
“Who was the ‘bird-brain’ that came up with this ‘fowl’ idea?”

3. On a man who dropped nearly 250 pounds in order to improve his bowling game:
“This story nearly ‘bowled me over.’”

4. On a man who tried to steal a car in a parking lot near a donut shop:
“That’s about as smart as swimming in the ocean dressed in a meat suit.”

5. On a judge who ruled that it's still OK in America to curse at your toilet when it overflows:
“And who says our first amendment rights are in danger???”

6. On police in Amsterdam complaining over new rules banning them from smoking cannabis while off duty:
“However, apparently it’s still OK to do so while on duty.”

7. On a bill in Congress seeking to eliminate military slot machines overseas because a military man addicted to them committed suicide:
“That’s right … make it illegal because one person ruined the fun for everybody else …”

4. Reminds me to find the video of the cops chasing a stolen donut truck.
5. I thought you were proud when that happens.
6. Hookers still OK.
7. Congress is the biggest slot machine ever.
Ding ding ding on the teacher bit.
'bout "The Mitch"...no names would've surprised me, however, I really did think that Jeff Bagwell would've shown-up on the list..I'm glad he didn't and I would've been surprised if Biggio wuz on it...Ya gotta remember that Camimiti, Bags and Bidge were as tight as brothers..
Here's another thought: Since Bags ain't a suspect and at this moment "clean"...It really should enhance his and Biggio's induction into the Hall...It only makes 'em look good...Both were "throwbacks" to a much better time in the game...
