Ratings on CSPAN were crap.
I watched the entire morning session, and there were 2 points that I think really hurt Clemens. The first was the MRI result that showed no muscular injury, but some sort of mass on his buttocks. The probable cause, and no one seemed to contradict this, appeared to be from an injection. The depositions say that Clemens received a B-12 injection from the Toronto team physician around that time, but the doctor says that he had given many B-12 shots and had never seen this type of reaction. While McNamee's testimony on this was rather jumbled, I tend to believe that he did inject steroids into Clemens at the time, but had poor recollection of time and place. The second point was the deposition obtained from Clemens's kids' nanny concerning the party at Jose Canseco's. It contradicts a significant point of Clemens's defense. Even worse, the timeline that was explained by Mr. Waxman strongly suggests attempted witness tampering at worst and an attempt to withold information about the witness at the least. The reaction of the lawyers was telling. The old saying is that if the facts are on your side, argue the facts. If the law is on your side, argue the law. If neither the facts nor the law is on your side, pound the table. I saw some table pounding here.
Watched some. Listened to some. Clemens' wife is hot, maybe HGH will be the new Valentine's Day gift of choice. And I love how this thread was posted by rocketman. Ironic. I love Spofi.
Not ironic. Definitely eponysterical
Thanks for the new terminology, terrapin. I learn something new every damn day. Except when it comes to steroids in baseball, I haven't learned anything new thus far.
Except when it comes to steroids in baseball, I haven't learned anything new thus far. I learned that you can't depend on Andy Pettitte's recollection of anything. Fuckin' guy probably can't remember his own birthday or address without looking at his driver's license.
Fuckin' guy probably can't remember his own birthday or address without looking at his driver's license. Is he allowed to drive anyway? He can't hear at all or remember anything correctly, the guy should be in a home.
Best quote about clemens ever. "If clemens had not been able to consistently throw a baseball 95 miles per hour past men with bats in their hands, he would be wearing bib overalls and sitting a milk crate at the open end of a trailer somewhere, brushing his tooth, while shooing away flies from his head", barnicle wrote. "The man is a complete dope."
One of my coworkers was following this live yesterday and getting so worked up that I was worried he would feint or something. As it was he kept screaming out the latest (IHO) stupid thing every few minutes and since we sit in an open office...
justgary, that's beautiful. I'd like to see that tattooed across Rocket's forehead.
justgary, Are you saying that there is not a standard level of decency required by MLB? No tests or anything to judge each person's intellect? Crazy. I assumed that all MLB players were pillars of society. I must be an idiot.
Are you saying that there is not a standard level of decency required by MLB? No tests or anything to judge each person's intellect? Nope, just quoting a quote.
Are you saying that there is not a standard level of decency required by MLB Obviously. As evidenced by this guy.
Now he (GM) knows I clicked on that link, YYM. If I face my demise tonight, it's your fault. You will feel shame.
Of course, Barnicle is also a moron who's been mailing it in for decades, Patrick Reusse's opinion notwithstanding.
No tests or anything to judge each person's intellect? Nope. Exhibit A, for your perusal.
That's awesome grum. That story does not help Pettitte's case at all. Forget steroid testing, let's just see if they can make their own bed. (I was totally prepared for another Maddo.....nevermind. Shit. Thats twice in a matter of hours.)
Fuckin' guy probably can't remember his own birthday or address without looking at his driver's license. Well, whenever I'm confused, I just check my underwear. It holds the answer to all the important questions.
Like whether or not you've eaten corn or peanuts in the last 24 hours.
Or the even rarer hybrid Peacornut. Which when buttered and eaten on the cob tastes like peanut butter corn. Yummy.
I don't know if I am ready for peanut butter flavored corn, apoch. I'm still getting used to broccoflower.
Meh, broccoli is a cauliflower anyway. So they can both go pound sand together. Never liked that family.
I gave my wife a vase of broccoflower yesterday for Valentine's. Talked to her lawyer this afternoon.
