Read: Steroids and the Subway Series
This morning on WFAN, morning hosts Boomer Esiason and Craig Carton 
pointed out that one-third of the Yankees roster from the 2000 World Series had been mentioned in yesterday’s Mitchell Report.
…since yesterday, actually, i have been getting e-mail after e-mail mocking the Yankees, calling them cheaters, noting how the Mets should get a ring, etc, and on a day like today i think it is fair to raise and debate this question…personally, i rather not, mostly because there is still so much unknown…so, to debate this as though we have all the facts, to me, is unfair…however, as Anthony De Rosa wrote at Hot Foot, while no title should be stripped from the them, this is certainly fun to bug Yankees fan about…and that, i totally agree with…
…my thing is that we just don’t know the truth, and probably never will…i mean, who is to say that more Mets from 2000 were not doped up as well, and have not yet been caught…i don’t think this is the case, obviously, but who knows…
Steve Phillips, who was GM of the Mets in 2000, had the following to say while on ESPN News, according to the Star-Ledger…
“With the Mets, I thought four, five, six guys over a six-year period of time were using it. What was I to do? You had nowhere to go as a general manager. I wasn’t going to go through every shoe box or every locker in the clubhouse and say, ‘I wonder if there are syringes in there’ I wasn’t going to expose it and not have the ability to penalize the player. We had assumptions…but you had nowhere to go on the hunches you had (about) the players.”
Nevertheless, The Lede, a blog from the New York Times, takes a closer look at this discussion, while quoting MetsBlog, Toasty Joe and Metstradamus. Additionally, Mets Refugees provides a fantastic graphic to mark the conversation, while providing some stats that will sadden Yankees fans.
Lastly, SNY is asking readers, “What’s your opinion of Roger Clemens after the allegations in the Mitchell Report?”
