America's Past Time

Tomorrow on February 14th a very American thing will occur. Pitchers and Catchers will report to Spring Training. Earlier today Roger Clemens did another very American thing. He faced his accuser(s). Many of us have been waiting for this moment. The men and women on the hill - no not the one on the baseball diamond I'm referring to Capitol Hill - do not appreciate being lied to. So I have been waiting to see what The Rocket would say under oath. Say whatever you want to the media and your fans but when you get in front of Congress you'd better tell the truth or you may find yourself behind bars.

So today Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee went to the hill together. McNamee's claims have already been supported by the testimony of two others. Both Andy Pettite and Chuck Knoblaugh (also former teammates with Roger) have verified through their own experiences that McNamee has been telling the truth. Pettite has even corroborated McNamee's claim that Clemens used Human Growth Hormone during his playing years.

Not surprisingly Roger denies it. He says the injections he took were for B-12. With two completely conflicting testimonies what ever would Congress do? One of them actually said "One of you is lying".

Thanks Timmy!!

Congressman please allow me to say what you should have said.

"Mr. Clemens do you think we're stupid?"
"Do you expect us to believe that your personal trainer and two of your former teamates are all lying under oath?"
"That you are the one shining star in the constellation of morality?"
"Let me assure you sir that one of us is not very smart"
"But considering the fact that you're the one being questioned I'm pretty sure it's not me".

While I'm on the subject of stupid baseball players that lie to Congress when the fuck does Palmeiro find his ass in jail. I can still see him waving his self riteous finger at the Congressional panel swearing on his dead grandma like Johnny Fairplay from Survivor that he didn't use steroids. Bring his punk ass back and ask him again. If he changes his story give him a reduced sentence.

And if you're wondering about Barry - just remember he already testified - we just don't know what he said. My guess is he dropped some names for some sort of a plea bargain. Fucking Timmy!
