So how naked did Ms. Clemens have to get, to get a shot in the rear of HGH in the Clemens bedroom?
A woman who is that motivated to improve her figure is a keeper, I tell you. |

Another thing--some of these GOP congresspersons ripping on McNamee. Good chance that they won't have jobs come 2009.

Clemens' fastball rose 3 mph late in his career. That's all anyone needs to know. He was doping. I thought it was interesting that so many wanted to make McNamee look like an idiot with a degree from a diploma mill. I'll tell you this, if HGH/steroids weren't the reason for Clemens' late in life career turnaround then McNamee is the greatest trainer that baseball has ever seen.

How about this, Waters. Republicans aren't comfortable with these types of congressional probes in the first place. I wasn't aware that baseball was a government agency. Why can't we just let baseball and the press and fans' disgust clean up baseball's mess? Haven't these guys got something more germane and important to do, like investigate why the Iraq war was so horribly botched?

Congress has a role in pushing these organizations to remove doping, under the idea that there is a trickle down effect throughout the United States, esp. on younger athletes. Oh, btw, congresspersons can walk and chew gum at the same time. At least when they are worrying about baseball, they are not attaching pork to spending bills. |

Don't forget MLB's anti-trust exemption. This is why you see the government involved a lot with baseball. The gov. feels they need to defend why they still are exempt. If they can not be trusted to run a anti doping campaign and clean themselves up, the government will make them do it and threaten to remove the anti trust exemption, which will never happen.
