Roger Clemens heads the news on just about every baseball website or baseball blog on the interent today. Roger Clemens appeared before a congressional committee and was under oath answering questions regarding alleged conversations he had with Andy Pettitte about using Human Growth Hormones or HGH. Now I'm not going to comment about this other than to say it looked like politicians got involved in this if only to show-off their lawyering skills of old, before running for congress. And that I don't care if Roger Clemens is too stubborn to admit he tried the stuff, and that it kind of looks like both Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are victims of entrapment. Entrapment using their egos as the lure.
Now over at Sports Justice, Richie is defending Roger Clemens' record and the fact that he is alleged to have only used the substance a handful of times. That fact reminds us that Clemens' success can not be attributed to such limited use of HGH, if he lied and used it. So his worst case scenario is so what? Media Nation has a negative and sarcastic view of Roger Clemens as revealed in his Roger Clemens Crash Landing article. He says it's clear that Roger Clemens lied under oath and that McNamee had no reason to lie. I doubt that conclusion very much. Then there's a humorously titled Clemens And McNamee, Men of Substance article. Not sure of the author, but he sure can write. Here's an excerpt:
"Surely Clemens, with an ego so big that he had the gall to interrupt Rep. Henry Waxman’s closing statement, figured he’d come out of this thing on Wednesday and essentially be exonerated. And there were times on Wednesday when he performed well. He certainly looked the part, making eye contact with his interrogators, sitting upright and rigid and speaking forcefully."
"But he also fumbled horrendously at times, and frankly, showed that he’s not the most articulate guy in the world. He used a word no one has ever heard before — “misremembered” — to try to explain away Andy Pettitte’s damning claims, and at other times seemed befuddled by the questioning."
I like that guys style. Finally, you have 1000 Monkeys and a Camera, that's right, that's the name of the Blog, lol. You have them 1000 Monkeys in their Roger Clemens post saying that all of it, from the Mitchell Report to today's hearings, is all a colossal waste of our legislature's time. "It's baseball. Not foreign policy. Not the world economy. Not health care reform."
- My sentiments exactly.
