WASHINGTON -- With two short answers, Andy Pettitte called into question the validity of his testimony against Roger Clemens, part of a discouraging day for prosecutors in the retrial of the seven-time Cy Young Award winner. After stumbling its way to a mistrial of Clemens last year, the government is struggling again in the retrial -- to the point that the crux of Pettitte's testimony might be tossed out. First, the exasperated judge criticized the questioning of Pettitte on Wednesday, then he ruled against prosecutors in another matter. Finally, he cried out, "You're taking positions that are totally absurd to...

ANDY PETTITTE: LYING FOR JESUS

Roger Clemens Has Already Lost

Via Off The Bench  |  May 02, 2012

It doesn’t matter if the The Rocket took HGH in the winter between the 1999-2000 seasons; it doesn’t matter if, as the government contends, he lied about it under...
