Notorious DEK finds Carl latest ranting about the Mitchell Report. I disagree with Carl about the Yanks not injecting PEDs into their buttocks but I do agree that Senator Mitchell's conflict of interest with Red Sox is considerable and he never should have been the man in charge of the report.
By JP, from Pyle of List With the release of the Mitchell Report this week, after months of feverish anticipation, baseball fans and the media finally have an official list of names connected to performance enhancing drugs. While there is some substantial evidence linking these names to the indiscretions we always suspected them of, the distinct lack of a “smoking gun” detracts from the report’s impact.
Earlier this week, I posted a link to a study published in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel that looked at the changes in performance by players discussed in the Mitchell Report. Frank Stephenson took the study to task for not properly interpreting the data. In today’s New York Times, two professors with strong backgrounds in statistics, Jonathan Cole (sociologist, Columbia) and Stephen Stigler (statistician, University of Chicago), report their analysis of players mentioned in the Mitchell Report.
The much anticipated (for a variety of reasons) Mitchell Report was put out yesterday and at least in my opinion, it didn’t live up to the hype. Most of the report centered around Kurt Radomski’s testimony and while he had evidence, you’re talking about a lot of fringe players to go along with a few [.
According to a new study published in Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports (JQAS)—Did Steroid Use Enhance the Performance of the Mitchell Batters? The Effect of Alleged Performance Enhancing Drug Use on Offensive Performance from 1995 to 2007 by Brian J. Schmotzer, Jeff Switchenko, and Patrick D.
I have received a response to my critique of Did Steroid Use Enhance the Performance of the Mitchell Batters? The Effect of Alleged Performance Enhancing Drug Use on Offensive Performance from 1995 to 2007 by Brian J. Schmotzer, Jeff Switchenko, and Patrick D. Kilgo. What follows is the authors’ response.
My response to Brian J. Schmotzer, Jeff Switchenko, and Patrick D. Kilgo’s reply to my criticism of their study follows. I would like to thank the authors for offering their response; however, I do not think their explanations succeed in validating their study. First let me address a few minor issues about which I will not go into significant depth.
Oh the drama! Figured we could use a nice clean new open thread for the Mitchell Report findings since the speculation diary is already up in the 60s for comments. This says we'll be getting MVP's and All-Stars, but considering Ken Caminiti was an MVP I wouldn't get all excited or anything.
ATHF’s Carl On The Mitchell Report : Still Making More Sense Than Joe Benigno Posted in Baseball, Free Expression at 11:
I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy on the sea-shore, diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. Sir Isaac Newton It's been four days since the Mitchell Report was released to the public, and while some new people and details have been made known, I don't believe it accomplished what the commissioner thought it would.
Around 2pm today the Mitchell Report will be released. In it, it is rumored to recommend that there be greater transparency in the drug program, such as naming the drugs that players test positive for. Some players try to dodge responsibility for positive tests by saying they unwittingly took a tainted diet supplement.
Jenkins : The Rocket Was A Psychopath Long Before The Mitchell Report Posted in Baseball at 5: pm by GC The SF Chronicle’s Bruce Jenkins suggests that we “hold your after-the-fact rip jobs on Brian Sabean”. Which isn’t a problem for me — I’ve never been remiss to point out SF’s ballpark (and much of Sabean’s resume) were built on the back of Balco Barry’s biceps (link courtesy Repoz and Baseball Think Factory).

Corus Sports)- Roger Clemens, Andy Pettitte et l'entraîneur Brian McNamee voient leur comparution devant le congrès américain au sujet du rapport Mitchell reportée.
Scarlett Johansson is a self-confessed "harlot". The 'Match Point' star, who is starring alongside Natalie Portman in upcoming period drama 'The Other Boleyn Girl', says the pair work well together because they complete opposites. Natalie said: I get branded a lot as a good girl.
I'm sick with the alien death flu, so just a quick salmagundi to keep you rolling on a Monday morning. I didn't watch the big Roger Clemens interview with Mike Wallace last night, so feel free to leave your impressions of it in the comments. I saw the recap on SportsCenter, and it doesn't look like I missed anything.
I'm wrapping up my look at bullpens this week because I've been staring at the same set of numbers for something like a month now. Anything that was going to emerge has and I'm close to beating a dead horse at this point. Let's take a trip down memory lane. In my mind, the last few seasons have always been marked by the 2004 peak and then a decline phase for the team -- we'll start there.
The season is 41 games done. By blog law (which is sort-of like shariah law, but different), we are required to assess the first half of 2007-08. The big award -- First Half MVP -- will be decided by you, the voters. The poll will close Monday afternoon. It's on the right side of the main page.
Two different players. One says he wants to face a team, the other says that he doesn't want to face a team. They both get criticized. Who is right? Barkley for getting on Arenas because he wants to see Cleveland? Or Stephen A. Smith for getting on Nowitzki for not wanting to see the Los Angeles Lakers?
After reeling off eight consecutive wins against the Rockies and Marlins, the Dodgers finally dropped a one yesterday, 7-2 to Colorado. During their winning streak, the Dodgers scored 11 or more runs four different times, lighting up Mark Redman, Scott Olsen, Jeff Francis and Jorge de la Rosa.
