And now we wait...

Tick...tock...tick...tock...

The countdown has begun.

Baseball judgement day is finally upon us.

In less than two hours, the MItchell Report is set to be revealed. In it, there has been said to be nearly 80 names of major league baseball players who have had ties to steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs.

But the waiting, the anticipation and terror many are feeling regarding the names on that list, is the worst of all. Across the country, fans are all thinking the same things:

"It can't be my favorite player."

"Not from my team."

"No way, it couldn't happen."

But the sad reality is that the eye has passed and the storm is beginning already.

Just this morning, it was revealed that Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte are both named in the report. With two of the best pitchers from the league's most stories franchise being names, all bets are off on who else could have been involved.

Is it a bit of a witch hunt? Yes.

Are there due process infringements involved? Of course.

Is it something that needs to be revealed?

Absolutely.

Tick..tock..tick...tock..
