For those of you who keep hammering away at Pettitte ratting out his “friend” (who’s reportedly not as friendly as originally reported ;))...there’s rumors now that Clemens might be indicted by a grand jury, and the investigators for that grand jury will be confiscating Clemens’ computer (on which he apparently logged his steroid regimen) and doing all the other things that grand jury investigators do.

Don’t you think Andy Pettitte realized this (or was told this by his own attorney) and didn’t embroil himself in a bigger web of lies that’d be almost impossible to extricate himself from?

No, even if he has to testify in front of a grand jury, he can do it with a clear conscience.

hughman, i was trying to say if he infact didn’t it would be wrong to say he did simply to avoid battle. no one should lie, but that is not a reason to implicate yourself either. the point is there is no smoking gun, no real evidence. only claims by those who have something to save. there infact i believe, no one should have been named without true evidence and not just save my tail, rhetoric. that is all.

Uh, Rover, you think if Roger DID take hgh he is right to lie and say he didn’t, and sue someone else for claiming he did? Weird value system, dude. I personally don’t give a rat’s ass. I think it is pretty obvious he did it, but it would be tough to make it stick, as in, is he guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Doreen-
I think you confused my comments with someone elses. I didn’t bring up Debbie Clemens in any on mine today. No biggie though.

in lieu of a smoking gun, and having only unsubstantiated rhetoric, by Mc and Rad, who if they had nothing to gain in the least had something to save, aka their butt. any charge or accusation against the rocket remains just that, charge and accusations, not remotely approaching fact. whether roger did or did not, he remains one of the best ever to take the mound, and that is substantiated. and that is against many players who likely did use. if roger didn’t that makes him better than his record. if he did use, it simply levels the field. whether he did or did not, i personally appreciate the fact he fought. maybe it turns out to have been the wrong thing to do in the long run. however if in fact he didn’t, why would he say “ok, i took it a few times”. if you would do that if you hadn’t done as suspected, then shame on ya. the sad fact is, that no player, should have even been named, unless there was a provable smoking gun. careers may have been ruined by nothing but b.s. it is a shame there is no law against being stupid, all those involved in preparing this report should would simply be locked up. this is a charade and a travesty and at this point i personally am ashamed of the government.

Doreen – good point

I figure wanting to look good for SI is akin to women before their wedding day. Many women use crash diets or extreme measures so they look ‘perfect’ for those pics.

Pat,

How can a SS who had a ZR that was substantially below .800 last season not negatively affect every pitcher on the staff?
