My Christmas (Mitchell Report) Wish List
So the Mitchell Report is coming out in a little over 12 hours. Every baseball fan is looking forward and/or dreading the names released. Obviously, I’m excited if it’s gotten me to update this blog for the first time in almost a month. From the 5 minutes I watched today, the PTI guys seem to think that a lot of people don’t care. From the baseball fans I know, they couldn’t be further from the truth. I keep hearing that there are going to be big names on it, but I can’t help but think this report can only disappoint tomorrow. They shouldn’t be getting people’s hopes up.
In the spirit of Christmas, here’s my wishlist:
Roger Clemens – Lots of fans have suspected him from a while, including myself. Not to mention he’s a total asshole. This would also really fuck with the writers who vote for the Hall of Fame. It’ll be hilarious to see them squirm.
Albert Pujols – Well, this isn’t so much hoped as much as expected.
Alex Rodriguez - Needs no explanation. …trannies
David Ortiz – Just to see Red Sox Nation cry beautiful, beautiful tears.
Chipper Jones – Braves fans would be…well, kinda disappointed. They’re horrible fans.
Curt Schilling – Would help to perpetuate the loudmouth hypocrite factor.
Gary Sheffield – Expected much more than Pujols, and maybe he would finally shut up.
Derek Jeter – The “intangibles” jokes would write themselves.
Tom Brady – I don’t care if he doesn’t play baseball.
As for people I DON’T want to see on the list…
David Wright – Man-crush
Bernie Williams – The best ballplayer I’ve ever met.
Ken Griffey Jr. – So he can continue to serve as the foil to Barry Bonds.
Mariano Rivera - Has always seemed like a good guy and a completely tranquil human being…that throws possibly the greatest pitch baseball has ever seen.
Greg Maddux – Always liked him more than Clemens, even if he was on the Braves. Plus he pees on rookies, which is disgustingly hilarious.
Ichiro - I don’t want him to commit seppuku and have the entire nation of Japan fall into a deep depression.
Pedro Martinez – He might be an asshole, but at least he’s pretty damn funny. Plus, he was the most dominant pitcher in the past 40 years for a while there.
Rick Ankiel – Oh wait, too late.
