For now I am giving Roger the benefit of the doubt.
Of course that will not be in the American League or the American League but rather the Federal League.
The Federal Prison League.
“Game of Shadows” is gossipy? Whitlock misses big on this one.
Bonds and Clemens both did it for greatness in the game and to suggest otherwise is unintelligent. Whitlock misses a big point. Clemens has responded like an INNOCENT person should respond. He’s aggressively challenging the allegations. Bonds has never challenged what has been alleged against him this way. It is a big difference, in my opinion.
He could be telling the truth, but for McNamee to lie AND have allegedly faked blood on gauze BUT to have told the truth about Pettite seems at very least odd.
Whether or not Clemens is lying may or may not be earthshaking in light of the probability that most of the overpaid drunks conducting the congressional hearings would not pass a drug test.
What locks MY jaws is having to watch these old athletes trying to stretch their careers, too vain or too stupid to quit while they’re still passable performers. One of the earliest ones for me was fabulous John Unitas. If he’d hung up his spikes when he was still pretty good he could have spent retirement in an undiminished glow; but he played too long until at the end of his career he was no longer really cutting the mustard. Then there is Clemens, and a lot more like him...possibly needing to use “boosters” in order to continue at a high level.
The latest example took place Saturday nite at Daytona at the Budweiser Shootout. Awesome Bill (Elliott) from Dawsonville plowed down along the upper wall and wedged his car there so that wreckers had to pull it loose, while preventing it from rolling down the steep banking which was there at that point in the track. I thought to myself, “For God’s sake, Bill, get a clue! You’re over the hill. Quit before you dodder around and hurt yourself or someone else! Of course, that’s just my humble opinion.
McNamee (sp?) is a low life weasel! What kind of a trainer would keep a used syringe from 2001 that he claims he used on Clemens? Sell it as baseball memorabilia? Or perhaps a tool for potential blackmail? If the weasel is telling the truth then I have to believe it was for potential blackmail.....
