I don't know if you had the opportunity to watch or listen to the Roger Clemens hearing today, but I did. I mostly listened because I was at work and had work to do, but I tuned in to Fox News to see how things were going, and listened as I worked. It was most interesting, I thought. There were times when I laughed. There were times when I said to myself, "did they really just say that"? There were times when I cheered for the senator doing the questioning, and there were times I cheered for Roger, but there were times also, when I was just begging him to please come clean. Yet, at no time did I find myself cheering for Brian McNamee. Sorry, just do not care for the guy. But in the end, my thoughts at the end of the day were this:

This whole scandal with baseball and with the Mitchell Report, have not tarnished my love of baseball one bit. I love the game, I LOVE the world series, and I love the Boston Red Sox. My husband has even set up my computer screen to honor the Red Sox, if you doubt my sincerity. Score one for the husband!!! It hasn't even really tarnished my opinion of Roger Clemens. I have seen him play too may baseball games I guess. The whole ordeal has left me a little somber. I most certainly believe Roger is lying, but I also believe that inside he must be a scared little boy who is very afraid of watching the dreams he worked so hard for go right down the drain. Had he asked my advise, I would have told him to "'fess up right away and move on". His reputation could have survived. But I really believe he will now be remembered as a liar on Capitol Hill, instead of the great baseball player he was, and for that I am truly sorry for him.

As for Brian McNamee, i highly doubt the reason he came clean was because of a sudden burst of conscience, or out of concern for the players. I am of the opinion that when the waters started to rise, he decided to swim instead of sink, and get out early ahead of the others. Had there never been an inquiry into steroid use in baseball, he would still be supplying the drugs these guys thought they needed. So, in my book, yes he was probably more truthful of the two, but my hat is not off to him, he was out for number one, just like Roger Clemens. Please do not misunderstand what I am saying, my hat is not off to Roger Clemens either, yet, because he lies he is the one crucified. Lying is your first instinct when you think you are in trouble, or may lose everything, and I believe Roger Clemens thought he would lose it all. How very sad for him!!!
