I still would not be surprised if the Twins signed him.

Can someone photoshop a syringe on this thing?

I would have given him credit if his statement started ewith the following: "There was too much money at stake not to try everything that might help me perform. I got caught and I am paying the price." That would be honest.

Don't cry for these guys. Clemens made a fortune in his twighlight years with the help of this stuff. Pettitte has made himself a pretty penny in the last few years too. They got caught, and their future earnig ability has been irrevocably damaged. I don't feel sorry for them.

22 to 7, do you really want to be on this list?

The Kool-Aid made famous by another man of God-- Rev. Jim Jones.

Was the HGH obtained legally? Although not substance that was part of the ML testing program at the time, was it approved for usage or treament by MLB at the time?

If Pettitte is such a reputable guy, why did he decide to come back to pitch in NY and leave his family behind in Texas? I thought he wanted to be close to his family. Did he come back to serve the humanitarian purpose of helping the Yankees and their fans to World Championship #27-- sorry I meant #23?

...and men of God have never been publicly exposed as being bad people?

Agreed. I believe that I predicted such whiny spin in the "Spin" thread.

You are kidding yourself if you think these guys were not doing this stuff before 2000. It's like the DWI that cries to the judge that he had never driven drunk before. It's BS. The clubhouse must have been swimming in the stuff during those years.

Pettitte spins before Roger. They will whine that they only took it to get over injuries. They'll whine that they only took it a few times. They got caught. They are cheaters, and they have to spin, because after their playing days are over, the only asset they have is their names. Clemens and Pettitte's names are permanently stained. They can swear on bibles that they sat on the needles by mistake, but they are still sullied. Too bad for the Whore and the Hypocrite. What about the other 10 Yankee champions. They didn't inhale either. Cheaters! Their championship banners should have syringes embroidered on them. I see a new slogan for the '96, '98-2000 Champs: "Champion Cheaters of the Steroid Era." The fans can be proud. Give the team a monument for Monument Park.

When are you going to update your user name to: 22 to 7

Here's how I think that Roger the Sociopath-Whore will eventually spin the situation. he will continue to try to garner sympathy by claiming that he never took steroids and bemoaning that his good name has been besmirched without the opportunity to be heard. He will do this first through his representatives and then he will do it personally. He may even feign emotion. The press will turn up the heat by asking why he turned down Mitchell's invitation to give his side to the Committee. At this point , he'll come up with some lame excuse. Then he'll be asked why he doesn't bring an action for libel to clear his name. He won't sue because it is true, but he'll lamely lie his way through that set of questions. After looking like lying cheat, he will regroup with his advisers and he will embark on a different strategy. He'lladmit that it is possible that he took steroids, but he didn't know about it, because the trainer was administering it. He will claim that he took injections to treat his groin, hamstring and other injuries, but he thought the substances were legal and prescribed by a doctor. Only the most feeble-minded Yankee fans will buy his story. He's done. He'll forever be branded as a cheater, and it is well-deserved. Also well deserved is the vindication of Dan Duquette who was right that Clemens was in the twilight of his career. Clemens just decided to cheat his way through the twilight. I wonder if those cortisone shots this season were really cortisone.
