Pitchers, Catchers And Pushers Report

Yawn. It's all a big yawn.

so and so's healthy.

so and so's in the best shape of his life.

so and so's arm has never felt better.

so and so found a new diet.

yawn.

people who like this day are the same people who enjoy meetings at work. The only level to enjoy today is on the cliche level... first robin of spring and all that crap. (Although around here, the robins never seem to leave, do they?)

The only "entertainment" is the emergence of Paul LoDuca from his wintry hole.

yawn.

the stories are all written, practically a template. They'll just plug in a few quotes from the steroid cheat/teenager scrumper/degenerate gambler, and... yawn.

Side discussion:

The Mitchell Report concluded that HGH likely does not impact a baseball player's ability. The House just took testimony this week from a variety of health/medicine experts that concluded the same thing.

If that's so, did LoDuca really "cheat" when he used HGH?

(This, of course, ignores the other substantial portion of the Mitchell Report, which discusses how he was basically the ringleader of a group of minor leaguers heavily into actual steroids -- the kinda things that'd knock a horse off its hooves -- and helped spray serum into the butts of his teammates with long, hard needles...)
