No way, this Mitchell report thing is getting old.All the talk and speculation, its about time it's coming out, lets get it over w/ already.
If anyone from the Red Sox past or present is implicated, then so be it.Does not mean I will love my team any less, or any of the guys that have played on it.I have my own my speculations, and I don't think I'm going to be too surprised when this comes out Thursday.

It will have no effect on my personal feelings towards my team or it's players. I will be disappointed to see players that I felt were above that on the list but it will not make me boycott my team in any way. I feel like it was a product of the time, known by too many higher ups and obviously supported by them. I say what is in the past is in the past, continue with today's programs and learn from the past but do not fool yourself into thinking that you can do anything about yesterday, suspensions will only prove in the long run the Selig has no real power and will cost MLB more than it is worth. If anything test the guys in the report more often!

Only fake or bandwagon fans and non-sports watching people will say so or hold fake "demonstrations" outside ballparks protesting those players named in the report.
For us true baseball fans, I could really care less because the "users" are only harming themselves and not us. What trust between fan and player was broken? None! Unless the player is my best friend or a blood relative, I'm just there to enjoy the game and not worry about what will happen to them when their bodies break down as they get older.
I love the game and have endured seeing several instances of national misconduct by various players since the 70's and it has not changed my point of view of the sport. Every sport has issues and baseball is no different!

No I would not. I luv Baseball...Yes I have my favorite players, but I wouldn't stop watching the games. There some players doing the wrong things & that is their problem. You can't blame a whole team because 1 player can,t obey rules.
I'm sure there will be some major surprises coming out in this report that will affect a lot of teams but Baseball will go on. If it happens that 1 of my favorites gets busted, cross that name off the list.

No, this "Mitchell report" thing is kinda getting old, I mean back when Bret Boone was on the Mariners he was sooo obviously on steroids. Did I stop liking him? No, I still went to the games. Nothing will change this.
I feel like a hypocrite sometimes because I hate on Barry Bonds for the same reason, but you know whatever, I don't think the fans care, if they did MLB wouldn't have made like 6 billion in revenue this season.

No. I'd be fairly surprised if anyone from my team (the Royals) were in the report - unless it was a pitcher. At least anyone that was on the team last year - Guillen is probably in the report. I mean, nobody for the Royals has hit more than 18 homers in the last 3 years, so if they are using 'roids they obviously aren't using them properly.

that is "handy" how they merely occurred to indicate the Yankees maximum prominently, possibly for the marvel fee or possibly to smash the final decade of yank fulfillment in human beings's minds. i'm not able to leap to conclusions, I do have faith in harmless till shown responsible. It grow to be extraordinary nonetheless once I examine the tale on the Fox activities cyber web-website they have been promoting some crimson Sox merchandise, i understand as a results of fact they're "chumps" oops I mean Champs, yet no famous crimson Sox participant grow to be named in the object.

I would definitely NOT STOP watching my team, why? because I love baseball and I wouldn't stop watching it for someone in the team who couldn't follow some simple rules and regulations laid down by MLB. It is Baseball I'm in love with; not just one player...

Please, go right ahead. Better seat selection for me.
C'mon... the fans were right back at it in 1995 when -- and this is important -- GAMES WERE BEING PLAYED again. No games have been lost to any PEDs.
That nuclear winter was far, far worse, much more abusive to the fan base, than this report will be.
