Rest Easy, Raúl Mondesí

Well for now, at least.

An appeals court ruled on Wednesday that it was “wrong to seize the infamous drug list and samples of 104 Major League Baseball players who allegedly tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003.”

Pardon my French, but no shit. After being promised one thing after another about protection and discretion, we’ve seen one player after another leaked from this list, followed by a cycle of reactions, press conferences, apologies, and PR spin for each one. Like many of you, I am sick of it.

But don’t for one second believe that this is the end of  “the list.” Somehow, someway, the information is going to find it’s way to the wrong person and we’ll be scrutinizing Brent Abernathy and Jose Lima in no time.

(Disclaimer: All player names in this post were randomly chosen from this list, which has been circulating for quite some time and is based on no factual evidence whatsoever. But I’ve still got my eye on you, Raúl Mondesí.)
