Who needs the Mitchell Report when you have MLB.com?

*Friday night, March 14, 2008, I check the Cardinals MLB.com site to see if they mention Rick Ankiel's Mitchell report affiliation as he was in the news today. Not a word in the story. I look at the video running on the site--a rehash of Mitchell? No, a bright outlook for the year starting with a remembrance of the recent World Series.

• *Then I check the Indians MLB.com site-they have a picture and headline about Paul Byrd. I look for reference to his $25,000 HGH bill and its possible relation to the 2007 post season. Not a word about any of it, no mention of Mitchell. There's a nice article with Eric Wedge there too--again MLB says not a word about the catastrophe of the Byrd revelations the final days of the ALCS vs Boston. The only video running on the Cleveland site was about general MLB development in the Dominican Republic.

*Then to the Yankee site on MLB.com. The MLB video is still on a continuous loop about THE MITCHELL REPORT. The same video that's been running for weeks. Featuring Andy Pettitte of course who took a total of 4 HGH shots, 2 while on the DL as a Yankee in 2002.

• Anyone can go to these MLB.com sites and see these things. Forget that MLB.com should be closed down for a complete lack of journalistic integrity. What the hell is going on with the pansies at the Yankees who allow this obvious double standard to go on?
• The so-called Mitchell Report is only a symptom of MLB.com's more serious ailment.
