Results yielding from a search for Red Sox in the pdf file of the Mitchell report were limited to recent sox Eric Gagne and Brendan Donnelly. Save for Clemens and Mo Vaughn, no prominent former Red Sox are there - no Nomar, Damon, or Pedro, and - blessed be the Lord - no Trot. Big names like Pujols, A-Rod, Santana and Howard are absent as well. With rumors of Clemens and Tejada now being confirmed, this is not a pretty day for baseball, but it could have been much worse. There were no "Wow!" moments as far as I can tell. Andy Pettitte is probably the biggest surprise, at least to me. For now, we can still root for home-run artists like David Ortiz, Albert Pujols and Ryan Howard with a clean conscious.
About two hours ago, information was leaked that Pujols, Trot, and Varitek were to be named in the report, but thankfully that was false and it looks like I won't be having any crisis-of-faith for any of my favorite players.

Well, remember there was that one report about those guys in Manny Alexander's car when he was with the BoSox.
In the hustle and bustle I think we've all overlooked the fact that everyone's favorite knuckleballing catcher, Cody McKay, was also on the list. Coach's son. Poor guy.
It doesn't surprise me that the two biggest names were associated with the Yankees, plus Giambi (which we already knew). These guys had the money and the motivation.
Honestly, the most shocking one to me was Vina. He seemed like a great guy and was a hard worker. That and he never hit any home runs...
Did you actually read the whole report? Being a baseball nut and a law student it wouldn't surprise me if you did.
mckay!? i didn't know he was on the list. that might be the most disappointing of all.
i downloaded it and may give it a complete read over christmas. i have my third exam in three days tomorrow so there's no way i could read 300+ pages today.
