Yep, so we're giving this Live Blogging thing a try. Considering how jazzed we are about today's hearing, it seemed an appropriate time to jump in the pool.

McNamee: Mrs. Clemens, Canseco Flashed Racks At Each Other

"I could tell a specific story about him being there, which was involving Jose (Canseco), Jose's wife and Roger's wife when they went inside, when the guys showed up. I mean, they talked — no disrespect, but they talked about how great Jose's wife's augmentation job was to Debbie and showed her. And then Debbie showed her her augmentation job."

...I mean, who hasn't thrown their wife under the bus for a burnt casserole, gettin' pulled over for a DUI and switching seats (after two years, and a week in jail, she's finally speaking to me again), and a fart slip at a dinner party (now that was funny!). But, this is over the top! AND my wife gets upset over my little boy's night out tomorrow at the Hustler...

Barry Bonds Is Somewhere Laughing At Today's Capitol Hill Comedy
Somewhere in the Bay Area, Barry Bonds lounging with his feet up on the couch, his hands buried deep in popcorn and/or pretzels (not sure which is his junk food of choice) and laughing his large-domed tail off. In his mind, today's action on The Hill may be the best comedy of the year.

Pettitte: I Spoke To McNamee About Roger And 'Roids
Via Hot Stove New York

February 14, 2008
Everything we're hearing concerns Pettitte's recollection of Clemens admitting to HGH use, and indeed that recollection appeared to be the sole focus of the congressional committee yesterday. However more interesting to me personally is a section in Andy's deposition in which he admits to discussing Clemens' use of anabolic steroids with trainer Brian McNamee in 2003...

Today comes the news that Pettitte, Chuck Knoblauch, and Kirk Radomski have been dropped from the witness list entirely, transforming tomorrow's hearings into a mano-a-mano face off between Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee.
According to Rep. Tom Davis (R-Va.), a member of the committee, Pettitte was reluctant to testify against his long-time friend in such a public forum...

Cheaters Never Prosper
Bonds, Clemens, and Belichick all cheated, and all denied knowledge of their cheating, and all got busted today.
Also on a sad note our thoughts and prayers are with the friends, family, and students in DeKalb at Northern Illinois University.

If things had gone our way, Wednesday's four and a half hours of Rocket-Man goes to Capitol Hill would have been more entertaining. Why can't the Capitol be in Hollywood? If one of the following scenarios had taken place, it would have been Miller Time a little bit early.

Results From Today's McNamee-Clemens Cage Match
What did we learn today from the Congressional Hearings that involved Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee?
Well I can tell you that I learned that the Democrats seemed to support McNamee while the Republicans threw their weight behind Clemens.
Mrs. Clemens? Saga has more twists than LOST.
The whole Roger Clemens/Brain McNamee back-and-forth drama is becoming quite entertaining. Here's a short wrap-up of what has transpired.
Clemens Apparently Mis-Remembers The Truth
If he had come right out after the Mitchell Report was released and pulled the Andy Pettitte or Rodney Harrison reasoning for using PED's, many fans would have been dissappointed, but I believe most would have forgiven him and moved on.

Will Curt Schilling Pitch This Season, or Ever?
As I have stated in the past, this blog is not about the sensationalism of the paparazzi coverage of the entire steroids, HGH and sports issue. This blog is about baseball ? all baseball, all the time.
As such, this blog's focus remains on such topics as the impact of Curt Schilling's latest shoulder injury on his 2008 season, contract and career.
