And Now Things Get Interesting
Congress has gotten into the act and asked Clemens, Pettitte, McNamee, Radomski and Knoblauch to testify January 16th. I am not sure if asking is the same as subpoenaing, but it doesn't matter in Clemens' case. If he doesn't testify, his claims of innocence become totally absurd.
Now, if Clemens goes before Congress and proclaims his innocence does that change things in your mind about the case against him?
Comments
Peter, I completely agree. If Clemens is a no-show, then he will look as guilty as McGwire. If he does show up and testify, good for him. Of course if he shows up a lies, then it is jail time for Roger...assuming they can prove it. He can call Denny McCain for prison advice.

there is no proof, unless someone was snapping off pictures and video of the bottles they were pulling the "b12" and such from.
It is and always will be a he said, he said situation.
He will testify, circus time...

Let me try a conspiracy theory on you BL. What if Clemens hired those private investigators not to find out if he was innocent, but instead to see if there was any proof that he was guilty?

I bet he plays in the Bob Hope tourney instead of going to Washington.
I am big into conspiracy theories, that one isnt too bad...

espn is reporting that Clemens and McNamee will likely be seated next to each other.
Imagine the rage Clemens will have when McNamee is given his turn to speak?
Remember the bat throwing incident? Look for Clemens to stand, flinging the chair backwards into the gallery and clutching McNamee by the throat while Senators gasp in horror...

I say he whips a baseball out of his pocket and beans McNamee right before his testimony starts.

If he shows up to testify it'll be because he's betting that nothing will emerge to corroborate McNamee's testimony. That's not a good bet given the stakes. If Bonds goes down, there will be enormous pressure to even the score racially by prosecuting Clemens.
It doesn't change my mind whether he shows up to testify or not: he's guilty, period.

poor Rocket, Yankee fans never loved him, Blue Jay fans loath him, Sox fans either love or hate him, mostly hate...
guilty before evidence
guilty by association
guilty because most hate him anyway
guilty because its right race-wise
guilty because he's arrogant
guilty because buddy Pettitte is guilty
guilty because he pitched well late in career (check Ryan's stats, he did ok last few years, for that matter, check Jimmy Connors blood, check , what's the guys name that ran the Boston Marathon for like 100 years, Jim Kelly? He must have doped it up to make it all those years.
Brett Farvre, pretty old, pee in this cup sir.
No need to check Evander Holyfield, he plain sucks and is stupid.
Mark Messier got out just in time, they were waiting for the sample right outside the locker room.
Long overdue point : how about saying you "think" he's guilty. Nothing has been proven, your opinion counts, don't declare facts unless something has been proven.
ok - rant over
hey Peter, how bout this conspiracy theory - the supposed call between Clemens and McNamee was Clemens offering him Bonds/Anderson money to shut up and retract his statements in Washington on the 16th?

Good one BL, especially now that he has sued McNamee. Maybe you are right and after McNamee said no, Clemens sued.
