As I had long suspected todays release of the Mitchell report represents a new milestone in wasted time, money, effort and manpower by the MLB to tell us what we already knew.   What is worse is that the report is underpinned by dubious swcond and third hand evidence that does not stand up to even the slightest scrutiny.  All that comissioner Selig has managed to do is to reopen a wound that had only recently begun to heal.  The players association will scream bloody murder about the contents of the report, and justifably so.  At his press confrence today Selig said it was time to move on, as did Senator Mitchell.  If that is the case then why comission the report in the first place?  Baseball will suffer more labor unrest and controversy because this report prevents baseball from doing what everyone says they need to do, move forward.  The final fallout will be determined over the next few weeks and months, but it will do more harm to the MLB than if they had simply let the sleeping dogs of the past lie instead.
