Lies The Pitcher Told Us

February 14, 2008 @ 08:28

I don't even know where to begin with the Roger Clemens story.

Yesterday's congressional hearing was a farce with questioning done by a bunch of bozos who came across as extremely partisan.

Republicans wanted to beat up on Brian McNamee, while Democrats went after Roger Clemens.

But none of that mattered to me, I saw and heard enough to do nothing but reinforce my position that Roger Clemens is a lying rat.

Brian McNamee might be a weasel and he may have a suspect history, but the purpose of yesterdays hearing was to determine of Roger Clemens ever took steroids and human growth hormone and based on what we heard I think its safe to say he did.

I actually felt story for McNamee yesterday. I came away with the impression of a man who lied through his teeth in the early going to protect the reputation of the major league baseball players he worked for, but once it became apparent that it could come back and bite him in the ass, he had to tell the truth.

Meanwhile, Clemens never really answered a question while having the benefit of having high priced lawyers blow in his ear all day.

And despite all the bullshit, these questions were never answered.

1. If McNamee is so slimy, why would Clemens continue a long term relationship with the guy unless he was providing something Roger needed?

2. Why would McNamee tell the truth about Chuck Knobloc and Andy Pettitte, but lie about Roger Clemens?

3. Why would Andy Pettitte admit that he did steroids, but lie about Clemens doing them?

The best answer Roger had for the Pettitte question is that "Andy must have misremembered."

"mis-re-membered!" Can you believe it? Not only does the guy make up stories, he also makes up words.

I don't know why I let this stuff get to me but this reminds me so much of the O.J. Simpson circus that it pisses me off, although I will allow that Roger didn't decapitate his wife, he only threw her under the bus.

Roger Clemens is just another delusional athlete who thinks he can buy his way out of anything, and what pisses me off even further are people who actually believe the guy.

Yesterday I appeared on CHCH Live at 5:30 at got my first taste of a guy named Howard Bloom who runs something called Sportsbusiness.com and we knocked heads right out of the gate.

Have a listen won't you? Mark Hebscher is the first voice you hear.

Hey Fred, watched CHCH Live last night and you were right on. This guy Bloom didn't have any answers to your questions so he decides to go on the defensive and accuses you of attacking him. What an idiot!! Great 5 minutes of television.

I just listened to it and Bloom was arguing without backup. His whole defence of Roger Clemens amounted to McNamee is a scumbag. We all know McNamee is a scumbag. So is Clemens.

You could tell by the shit eating grin on Mark Hebscher's face that he was loving every minute of it.
So did I. Nice to see you back in top form Freddie!

I wish I had actually 'seen' this interview. Fred, you were in perfect form. That guy couldn't substantiate anything. I think he just wanted to hear the sound of his own voice say, 'absolutely' more than was necessary. I also liked how he took the opportunity to treat it as a personal attack everytime he had to think about what to say next. And even then... weak. VERY weak.... You rocked Freddie...

Loving you,

Oh come on Fred!! You feel sorry for McNamee? He "lied through his teeth to protect the reputation of the major league baseball players he worked for"...
You have me in hysterics her Freddie! McNamee lied to protect number one! He lied because it was in his best interest to do so! He lied because there was a reward for his silence. I'm not letting Clemens off the hook here, but please spare me the sob story for this ambitious, cowardly, 2-faced liar McNamee. He's talking now because he doesn't want to go to jail. He's a rat. And no one likes a rat.

How can anyone be in Rogers corner at this point is beyond me and the fact that anybody is surprised that it became a partisan issue hasn't been paying attention to the Bush White House. Thats all these congressmen are about, partisan politics, if one says white the other says black. One says Clemens Lies, the other says his shit doesn't stink

Awesome although I wish I could have seen the video too since I missed it, but cool nonetheless.

I may have missed it, did you ask him about pettite. He kept going on about macnamee saying there was no evidence...hmm?...I would have thought the testimony of pettite counts.
I realize in legal terms its hearsay but yesterday was not a legal courtroom so in the public courtroom he is sooooooooooooo guilty.

First, Pettie is a "rat" who will take down anyone in the name of religion. Hopefully, Clemens will have a trial before his peers which means the jury will be composed of major league ball players including those who took drugs and those who did not. This will result in a hung jury. MLB and many players should be concern about Clemens taking his case to trial as MLB and some players are going to be "burned" badly. Hopefully this is the last year I have to listen to Pettie and his Texas "tange".....:-)
