Hearings back on

Peter Abraham
February
13

Clemens was asked whether he was a vegan, as that would be a reason to take B-12. Clemens said he didn’t know what a vegan was.

I would assume that any vegans in Texas are rounded up and sent to California. Can’t blame the Rocket for that.

    haha

  2. Dr. Cox

    very true haha

  3. jon

    Vegan is not a word.

  4. Rebecca--Optimist Prime--27/08

    I agree. I do not think vegans and Texas go together really well.

  5. saucY

    i’m guessing most texas vegans live in austin… and when they leave austing, they fly out of the state altogether…

  6. saucY

    Rebecca, did you watch the Nets game last night?

  7. rodg12

    Can’t wait for the Girardi interview. Anything to get away from this hearings mess. What a joke.

  8. filthy slider

    Clemons should rip off his coat & tie to show his Tough All Day t-shirt. He’s kicking Mcnamees butt. It’s pretty plain to see most of the Dems on the committee are there to protect Mitchell & his BS report.

  9. Rebecca--Optimist Prime--27/08

    Saucy: nope, was working on my thesis all night. I’m now 1/4th done!

  10. Ben (I'm happy Hughes will stay)

    Thats a point Pettite I do believe him the most.

  11. DMan

    I’d bet you can be run out of Texas for saying you’re a vegan..

  12. Ben (I'm happy Hughes will stay)

    Whats a vegan? (sorry for asking)

  13. Mike from CT

    Someone who does not eat any products that come from animals – meat, milk, eggs ect…

  14. mel

    Roger seems like a great friend.

  15. Dan from Mass

    After a couple hours, I’m only half paying attention. But has anyone else noticed that the vast majority of the Democrats seem to be attacking Clemens, and the vast majority of the Republicans seem to be attacking McNamee?

  16. Doreen

    All Laura Pettitte’s testimony does is state what Andy told her. If Andy told her the sky was purple, she would have said in her deposition that the sky was purple. If Andy misheard or misunderstood Roger, that misunderstanding would have been passed to Laura. So that’s just a red herring.

  17. mel

    C: Are you a vegan?

    Roger: Of course I’m not a virgin. I have 4 strappin’ boys.

  18. jennifer- Hip Hip Jorge

    haha very true Pete, I didn’t think of that.

  19. DMan

    Why is Mcnamee even trying to deny he was dealing in drugs? What is he thinking?

  20. Doreen

    What an arrogant SOB, McNamee is.

    Some of these representatives are at least pointing out the shortcomings of the hearings and the Mitchell report.

  21. Say it ain't so

    Waxman is really getting a kick out of all this.

  22. Doreen

    And this Chairman is unbelievable!!

  23. saucY

    lol mel! :lol:

  24. Steve (Cashman sucks)

    Waxman keeps jumping in to defend McNamee. I never thought I would see a Congressman defend a drug dealer and date rapist.

  25. pat

    This is the woman who pronounced everyones name wrong last time.

  26. DMan

    Steve (Cashman sucks)-

    I know right? I mean if hes telling the truth or not about Clemens doesn’t matter when it comes to if he is a drug dealer or not.

    He obvouisly is! Isn’t he serving 5 years of probation for that?

  27. saucY

    Rebecca, it was a fun game to watch. they moved the ball around a lot and it seems like Krstic is finally 100%…

    Good luck with the thesis!

  28. Chuck

    This thing is dumb. The only conclusion to reach is that this hearing served no purpose.

  29. Rebecca--Optimist Prime--27/08

    Ok, I admit, I turned it on…it’s painful to watch.

  30. Marc

    Saucy and Rebecca,

    Kidd was just traded.

  31. Steve (Cashman sucks)

    Waxman needs to spend some tax payer money on getting a nose job. All I can say is WOW!!

  32. Rebecca--Optimist Prime--27/08

    Marc: I know.

  33. jennifer- Hip Hip Jorge

    Roger was just speaking out of order, and got scolded. :lol:

  34. Steve (Cashman sucks)

    There goes Waxman again apologizing to McNamee. This is hilarious.

  35. DMan

    Yah Clemens just got angry..

    You know that anger was focused on Andy, not on the panel..

    Hes upset with Andy, no doubt..

  36. Rebecca--Optimist Prime--27/08

    Think Waxman is biased?

  37. mel

    Anyone else think it’s not fair that lawyers aren’t allowed to sit with their clients?

  38. Marc

    Mike and the Dog are talking about how bad Republicans are.

  39. Whitey Fraud

    Didn’t the Kingons fight the Vegans in Star Trek? Or maybe that was Babylon 5….

  40. Rockin' Rich

    A Vegan is someone who lives in Las Vegas, right?

  41. bkight13

    My belief is that Roger experimented with both steroids and Hgh. He was a great pitcher before, during and after his use of these PED’s. He is still a HOFer, just like Bonds. The whole era is tainted and the late 80’s thru the early 00’s will always be the Steroid Era.

    Brian McNamee is pretty sleazy and does not seem to be an honorable person. I do believe he is telling the truth about Roger for the most part.

    Bud Selig really blew it with the Mitchell Report. It wasn’t thorough enough and to implicate only the ones that were named by BALCO, McNamee and Radomski unfairly limits the scope of the problem. They should have just reported that the use of PEDs was widespread without naming names and should focus on eliminating their use in the future.

  42. Brandon (Proud supporter of "Alex being Alex")

    Jason Kidd aka “The Knick Killer” has been traded to Dallas

    Brandon,

    What did the Mavs give up?

  45. Jake

    Uh, excuse me Peter, but California is by far the greatest state in the US, no question.

    Vegans are silly though.

  46. saucY

    mel: not much :|
