In those moments before he drifts off to sleep, I bet Clemens wishes he pulled a Big Mac, i.e. “I’m not hear to talk about the past…..”

Big Mac = reputation in tatters, no Hall, no conviction.

Clemens = reputation in tatters, no Hall (probably), and…..we shall see

Palmeiro was looked at heavily for perjury charges, the problem was that there was no evidence that he had taken steroids at the time he made that statement to Congress. He said that in March, then failed a test in August.

OBVIOUSLY there is no fricking way he led a clean life, made that statement to congress, then decided “Okay, now I’ll give steroids a shot”. But with no Brian McNamee type person to come forward, the government could not prove anything. The test he failed was for drugs that were in his system months after he made that statement

True–that’s an embarrassment too. At least they could give him the title of “HGH coach” instead of hitting coach…

Thank you Bud Selig–steroids, the gift that keeps on giving. Manny Ramirez is still around, Barry Bonds is still around–why don’t any of these losers get the Pete Rose treatment?

I’m not defending Clemens by any means, but anyone remember when Palmeiro told his story to Congress? Why hasnt that been pursued? “Let me start by telling you this: I have never used steroids, period. I don’t know how to say it any more clearly than that. Never.” I’m willing to bet that if most of us lied to Congress, we wouldn’t just kind of go away.

If the DNA does not match it’s a wate of cash.

Clinton lied to Congress. Goldman Sachs also lied. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker lied to Congress as well. No penalties for any of those liars.

Like Shariah law or gay marriage? Right. The day government starts caring about things that matter, we’ll get hit by an asteroid the size of Connecticut.

It COULD be worse for the jury – they could have been sequestered.

This is a collossal waste of tax payer money because in a time where our education system is struggling, health care is struggling, and we have a national debt that gives me a mini heart attack I think about it, we waste our money trying to determine if baseball players did steroids or not.

I don’t care if he lied under oath or not because I don’t care if he did steroids. Why can’t the govenment stop caring about baseball and start caring about things that actually matter?

No, it’s bald-faced. Look it up. It’s related to not having a beard to hide your expression.

So, I guess all the rapists, murderers and child molesters are “men” because they accept their consequences? Come on. BTW, It is Bold Faced Lie. Not like a guy that recently shaved his face, LOL.

BTW, Clemens has never been “found guilty” of anything. You are getting him mistaken with Bonds. His case was a mistrial. He also has not been caught lying, yet. If he is found guilty he will be punished. It will be a joke of a sentence compared to the amount of money we have spent on the trial.

I don’t understand. Here’s a guy, Clemens, who goes to Congress and tells some bald-faced lies. In some crazy turn of events, there is actually evidence that proves he was telling lies. Just for general principle he needs to be found guilty. Do what you want, but if you get caught be man enough to accept the consequences.

It is NOT a COLOSSAL waste of money. He cant get away with LYING UNDER OATH! Name me a “pol” who lied UNDER OATH, was caught, tried, found guilty AND DID NOT GET PUNISHED FOR IT? Regardless of how much it cost, nobody should get away with that regardless of who that person is or how much money he has for defense.

Ah yes the Roger Clemons trial. Just another employment program for federal attorneys. I mean, what else are they gonna do? Prosecute half wit terrorists who were supplied, armed and masterminded by the FBI?

This is a COLLOSSAL waste of tax payer money! The POL’s lie to everyone all the time! Now they’re bent out of shape because Clemens may have lied! We have to get over your lies; now get over when other’s lie to you!

According to SI.com, Rusty wants two more weeks in order to present his case. Rusty just does not know when to shut up.
