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.
Are things in the country running so well that Congress needs to waste time and taxpayer money on this?
I was thinking the same. I even hesitated to post it but hey it dealing with Congress. No wonder they have a low perception from the public.
Between Bonds, Clemens and him, it’s going to be quite a show. Got popcorn/pretzels?
The NYT is saying Pettite is scared to confront Clemens in person on national TV. Afraid of Clemens reaction.
but he's already been deposed. just play the tape!
This is a revelation. They both are very close friends since Jr College.
i had heard their relationship had cooled in recent years. no one can be in the same room as roger’s ego.
On a list of 1 to 10, grown men cheating when they are playing kids’ games doesn’t make the list as to what Congress needs to be dealing with.
If these gentlemen violated the law with illegal drug possession, charge them.
If they violated their contracts, sue them.
Smoke screen!
I have yet to meet anyone who gives a _hit!
Actually, Bonds isn't part of this particular legislative show. Instead, his venue is judicial, at US District Court, to answer his grand jury indictment.
Exactly... I’m still waiting for the libs to propose a “Department of Sports Ethics.” Before you know it, Belichick will need a court order to challenge a call on the field.
I can understand that. Did Pettite rat him out?
The NYT is saying so.
I am waiting for this whole thing to end up with Clemens expressing indignation that his trusted friend would inject HGH or steroids into Clemens’ body without his knowledge or consent. “You told me it was B12!” he’ll say.
Or, he’s completely innocent of all charges.
The old Clinton defense. The only difference is slick willie had better representation. Hardin was poking everyone in the eye daring them to prove it.
it’s simple..if they ask Pettite if he saw Clements juicing..it puts Pettite in the perjury chair.......
