Former Astros pitcher Andy Pettitte is trying to get out of testifying to Congress Wednesday about steroid use in the major leagues, the New York Times reported.
PLEASE!!!!! Someone tell me why in the hell are these people poking their nose into something that is absolutely none of their damned business???? The audacity of these repugnant people is getting too much. They think they rule the world. The last I checked Major League Baseball was not part of the Federal government!!!
I’m not a MLB fan, so it’s hard to keep track of what’s going on, with so many involved. Thanks for clarifying it.
Roger ego is bigger than the baseball field while Pettite is humble and honest. Big Egos always go down in flames. Reminds me of the Pete Rose story.
From what I remember of Clemens, I wouldn’t want to be in his line of fire, either.
Out of all the accused Roger is the only one denying the use of performance drugs.

So even if cheating at baseball was a worthy issue for Congress to investigate, it has already been established that it is a problem. Only with one person, Mr. Clemens, guilt is undetermined.
Sounds like something for a court to ferret out, not Congress. Sounds like the congress critters are just looking for a lot of publicity, rather than dealing with their constitutional duties.
Leave Mr. Delicious alone!
He is all yours on Wednesday. :)
Thank god baseball is back. It will take my mind off of this big election mess.
If the major sporting leagues were smart, they would tell Congress to pound sand. With historically low approval ratings I doubt that Congress would have the nads to shut down MLB or the NFL. The commissioners should dare Congress to pull the antitrust exemptions and pi$$ off the (voting)fans of those leagues.
Of course. PC is under control, Social Security and Medicare are solvent, Mexicans are running back across the border . . .. for good.
What?! You’re not a MLB fan!? What is wrong with you???!!!
Ol’ Barry was indicted for perjuring himself during his Grand Jury testimony. There’s also a little matter of tax evasion. Oh, and no one has signed him for the upcoming season, with spring training starting in a couple weeks. Other than that, everything’s going swell for the home run king.
Ask Mike Piazza. Roger throws bats like Hillary throws lamps.
IMO, too slow of a game, Just slightly above golf for action.
lol. I wouldn’t want to be downfield when one of his bats comes my way.
What?! Youre not a golf fan!? What is wrong with you???!!!
I like watching paint dry, and grass grow, better!
But when watching golf, you can also watch grass grow! Think it over!
