And, for the Record, I Don't Believe Clemens
Let's see, Brian McNamee said he gave HGH to Andy Pettitte, Chuck Knoblauch and Roger Clemens, and the first two admit they used it ... but Roger does not. And he's telling the truth?
I just don't think so.
I don't know if we ever will find out for sure ... if DNA actually can be retrieved off the syringes McNamee says he kept.
Actually, it would be nice to do a test and maybe get some finality on this issue. But I guess DNA that old isn't particularly useful, so we can just guess.
Just guessing, yes, I'm suspicious of Clemens' late-in-life greatness. It's Bonds-like. In that it was unnatural, coming at a time when everyone else in the history of the game (practically) was in their decline.
Those lengthy hearings in Washington didn't seem to solve much. Congressmen seemed to have made up their minds before the thing started -- believing McNamee or believing Roger. Mostly, it seemed about getting some face time on TV on a day when constituents might actually see you. Everybody there seemed to be posturing, one way or another.
Steroids, HGH ... I'm sick of them. I wish there were some way to just announce everyone and everything all at once, and then we could be outraged and disgusted all at once, then put it behind us and go forward.
Instead, it seems as if we've got scandal by drips and drabs ... forever. That's tiring.
