ESPN is reporting that Roger Clemens is going to be named in the Mitchell Report. In addition, the Bergen Record has a source that proclaims "It's going to be a rough day in the Bronx".
I am not going to indulge in speculation at this point, but I am hoping that we don't see names like Rivera, Jeter, Williams and Pettitte in the report. Either way, get ready for a sad day for baseball.
Back after the report comes out.
UPDATE- apparently, I am going to be disappointed.
