It is beyond disgraceful that millions of dollars and tremendous amounts of time are being spent to try to destroy a few players reputations. The perjury thing aside, what if Clemens suddenly had just said I took HGH a few times like Pettite did, I'm sorry and I will plead my 5th amendment right for any other questions? Then what? Just like the Congress is looking into the NFL spygate case. What laws were broken there? Where is the harm or danger to the public? Does the result of a football game really matter so much that Congress needs to look into this? More money pissed away because some dried up old Eagles fan is still bitter about the Super Bowl? What can be done anyway? Declare the Eagles the winner on DQ? Makes you wish someone would go to Capital Hill with a gun and fire away on these guys so that maybe they would snap back into the reality of what they are supposed to be doing and stop the grandstanding.

i don't know what baseball could do. when clemens and others used, were there rules against it? or just generic rules against illegal meds? if the latter is the case, then they broke the rules. i don't know what baseball could do then.
as for congress, like i said above, i don't think it's worth their time. i think it's absolutely ridiculous that they are having these sessions--nothing more than photo ops for the congressmen.
i wrote a sarcastic letter the other day to arlen specter, who is wanting to investigate why the video the pats had was destroyed.
who the hell cares?!
