Clemens, Pettite, Macnamee, and Radomski, as well as Chuck Knoblauch, were all asked to testify under oath to a Congressional committee on Jan. 16.

Ought to be interesting. I wonder if Clemens will forget how to speak English?

Pfft...there's ZERO evening news facetime to be had in rebuilding bridges and funding schools. I for one applaud our congressmen for their endless grandstanding.

I want him to deny it so they can investigate him relentlessly and finally someone else will get,or at least deserve, the same treatment Barry got.

All they want is your vote. And for a limited time only, it's FREE FREE FREE!

I can't believe he admitted it!

Re: Here you go

I believe the phrase "into my body" could have been edited to much greater comic effect. Other than that, all it's missing are small, amusing animations doing sideline work to entertain you when listening to Roger Clemens talk isn't entertaining enough, and it would have been a perfect video.

It would have sure been a lot of animating, though. A lot of animating ./into my body..

Re: Clemens, others, to testify Jan. 16

Much ado about nothing once again. The entire Mitchell report was a joke because it was entirely based on Balco and the testimony of a trainer and a clubhouse boy, and this hearing is entirely based on the Mitchell Report. All that money being spent and time being wasted on this garbage. It should be Congress that is put under oath by the baseball players and asked why they are killing far more people in a useless war than die from steroids. Any high school kid who dies from steroids because Barry Bonds or Roger Clemens use steroids probably is too stupid to live anyway.

Bring me a cleanup hitter please!!

You're not really seriously believing people die from steroid use , are you?

"idiot occupation"

Sounds like a job for me! (Why didn't my high school guidance counselor tell me about this?)

Tis' Better To Remain Silent...

Excerpt from the 60 Minutes interview , after Wallace asks him what Macnamee injected him with:

"Lidocaine and B-12"

Fine , except Lidocaine is a topical anesthetic.

Re: Tis' Better To Remain Silent...

Well, it's not always a topical anesthetic.

Though, from my scant knowledge of the stuff it seems like it's other uses tend to be IV uses, and treat pretty non-baseball related conditions and maladies. But on the other hand, I have a very limited understanding of pharmaceuticals.

I do know this, though. Lidocaine is a cousin chemical to Cocaine. Which means that either Roger Clemens did steroids, or he practically did crack! OMG!

Re: Tis' Better To Remain Silent...

On a re-read, I don't think my follow through there was extreme enough. While lidocaine is a cousin to cocaine, I don't want anybody to start thinking I'm seriously putting the two on the same level.

Re: Tis' Better To Remain Silent...

Aaaaand, checking wikipedia, it seems lidocaine is injected as a local anesthetic, sometimes combined with epinephrine. Go fig.

Re: Tis' Better To Remain Silent...

The fact that it is a local anesthetic is what I don't understand. I have never heard of a local anesthetic being injected into your butt unless it was your butt that hurt. Clemens said it was for painful knee joints or something like that. If his knee is sore why inject his butt?

Re: Tis' Better To Remain Silent...

Clemens has a fairly rare condition known in clinical circles as Kneebutt. He also has a similar condition known in clinical circles as Assface. The two conditions are speculated to be related.

Re: Tis' Better To Remain Silent...

In his press conference today Clemens claimed that the Lineicain was injected into his lower back to relieve back pain and allow him to workout or pitch. Clemens claimed that only the B-12 was actually injected into his rearend.

Re: Tis' Better To Remain Silent...

Ops, ment "Lidocaine" not "Lineicain". Fraudian slip I guess I just can't get Lincecum and Cain off my mind after all they are the only pain relief I am expecting from the upcoming Giants season.

Re: Clemens, others, to testify Jan. 16

anyone think that clemens filed the defamation law suit in order to get him out of testifying before congress?

now he can say that he cannot provide any details as it may hurt his chances in court

Re: Clemens, others, to testify Jan. 16
