    Don't you think that George Mitchell being the director of the Red Sox is a conflict of interest. He named two big Yankees, Clemens and Pettitte. This all seems fishy to me.</p>

    Clemens is also a ex-Sox, and it's not like people weren't expecting him to be on the list.

    It's hard to believe that Mitchell wouldn't be impartial. He has a major league reputation on the line.</p>

    Yes, I do question it. I've been skimming the report, and found that very little, if any, took steroids took roids with the Sox. Vaughn took it with the Angels.</p>

    I don't think he was biased against the Yankees, but one of his only sources was a Yankee clubhouse boy, and another was ex-Yankee Jason Grimsley.</p>

    You telling me that no one on the Sox took steroids? Maybe Mitchell didn't purposely leave them out, but I doubt that he tried his best to dig up dirt on them.</p>
