A bright spot of the Mitchell Report

I know that people are going to hate me saying this... but I'm going to say it.

Brian Roberts being named in the Mitchell report, even if its hearsay or whatever, could be a blessing for Orioles fans.

Why? Because maybe Peter Angelos will finally let the front office trade him. I dont think it will hurt his trade value all that much, because people in baseball wont be willing to crucify players based on second-hand reports. Casual fans however, might not be kind to Roberts, and the good PR he gives the Orioles may fade away.

I have enjoyed watching Roberts immensely, but the Orioles need to trade him. Thats the only way we will contend anytime soon.

i agree
but Roberts comes off pretty light, admitted trying it once or twice, when he was living with Bigbie and Segui.

'ats my little angel.

So, I said, uh, lama: how about a little something for the effort?

no kidding
and for what it's worth, it says that roberts admitted to bigbie that he had tried it once or twice, not to mitchell or anything. maybe he was just trying to hang with the cool kids.

Oh jeez...
NOTHING better encapsulates how embarrassing the early '00s Orioles franchise is more than the fact that Larry Bigbie was one of the "cool kids"

Back in 2003...
Segui and Bigbie are going out to a bar...

Segui: should we bring Roberts along?
Bigbie: pfft. He can't hang, he hasn't even done any HGH.

Roberts comes running into the room

Roberts: Yes I have guys! I'm cool! I've done them...uh, once or twice, I swear!

Bass Mitchell Report
The Bass in Bigbie's left hand and both of the ones Bedard is holding appear as if they've been using BGH (Bass Growth Hormone).

All of the Bass declined to cooperate with this investigation.

re
