Clemens is such a poser...
Besides, without the juice, MLB is completely lame... I dont want to see purist playing the game, I want to see roided out monsters hitting the ball across I-70...
IF not, then who cares...
Waxman said that facts contradict Clemens statements during his deposition.
I find it interesting that Clemens keeps saying that he didn't "take" sterroids/HGH.
Based on opening statements, it seems that Clemens is going to rely on a position that he believed that the injections were lydicane... McNamee just denied ever injecting him with lydicane.
It looks like it's going to come down to a Bonds-like "knowingly".

Clemens is a POS.
Try to find a copy of Congressman Dan Burton's questioning of McNamee.
He's a complete baffoon who's completely out to get McNamee.
That was embarassing.
Burton had to eject from 2 different lines of questioning because he didn't know WTF he was talking about.
His aides had to interrupt him twice, correct him... then he said "never mind that" and moved on to something else.
He's exposed himself as a fawning after Clemens.
Amazing display.
Must watch.

Clemens is such a lying POS. Just man up and admit you did it and that you made a mistake.
The longer this charade goes on, the more he is hurting his legacy.

In the end, I don't really care about this whole steroid/HGH issue, but to me, the game lost some of it's entertainment value when the home run became a commonplace hit.
A triple, a legged out double, a stolen base, are all far more exciting plays.

What a f**king whiner. All he trys to do is get sympathy like he's being picked on. Poor boy. Everything that appears in testimony indicates that he is lying. And then one or our own Congressmen takes his turn to salute Clemens as a wonderful human being and acts like he is awestruck to be in the same room as he is. Makes Missouri look like a bunch of dumbass hicks.

Sorry to bring this up again . . . but can someone explain to me why congress needs to waist their time with this stuff instead of dealing with real problems, and doing the business of the government?
Here's 2 of Burton's bizarre 10-15 minutes.

so, I didn't get to watch this because I was at work today. Can someone give me the clif notes version? Was Clemens believable at all?
The general analysis I've heard is that neither man's statements are credible on their own, but only one of them has a mountain of corrobrating evidence that matches their story.
The other relyed on talking about how proud he was to pitch for his country in the Olympics.
The best summary of the day I heard was that "McNamee won today because he gave answers, not speeches".
That's about right.

I will agree with that, but to watch multi millionaires whine and beg congress to cover up their cheating is just getting old... Kind of like baseball, it was great as a kid, but now to much of this whining, roids/hgh, etc...
It is getting almost as repulsive as WWF or ECW or whatever the freak that crap in anymore...

An investigation into the institution of baseball and possible cheating has turned into a one player witch hunt. The commissioner must be happy.

I could care less if Clemens took HGH. I think sports leagues should allow it so long as it's risks are also known. It's found naturally in the human body up to a certain age (18 I think) then it declines.
It's also NONE of the govt's business. It should be up the the league to handle.
Honest to Gawd! Let's investigate the investigators and see how clean these bloodsuckers are. With their criminal wars, check bouncing and myriad scandals they get to do everything citizens get in trouble for.

Criminal wars? Geezus, you freaks never stop. But I do agree that the Government should back off and let the league handle it.
Anyone hear any explanations why it seemed that the panel seemed to generally split down party lines. With most of the Republicans (like Burton) being supportive of Clemens and critical of McNamee and the opposite with most of the Dems?
(Note, I saw one Dem blasting McNamee and cheering Clemens, so it wasn't exclusively partisan... but largely.)

I thought a doctor could give it by prescription. So what I meant was I think leagues should allow this.

actually i think you are correct on that part of it, but there is a fine line between medically using it and illegally using it i guess.
