Now this is the thing, besides Ortiz out-right hypocrisy and lying here. This list was suppose to be anonymous FOREVER. And yet, here are two more names leaked out to the world from this list. The Union should be ashamed of themselves for this. More to come later. Update: A lot of people will unintelligently came that the Yankees and Red Sox were in a race on the field, and in the lab, like this guy. Now this, Greg Mitchell, is a good provocative journalist, from time to time. But he can be an idiot on things outside of politics. And this is just one of those areas. Alex Rodriguez wasn't...
