In about 10 minutes Roger Clemens will be sworn in along with Brian MacNamee regarding his alleged steroid use. Since my last post, more evidence has been brought to light with Andy Pettitte claiming Clemens talked about HGH to him back in 1999 or 2000, and now Clemens says Andy misunderstood because it was his wife who took HGH. From what I read however, Pettitte's testimony was all over the place at some points and he contradicted himself. It will be a monumental day not only for Clemens, but for baseball as well. Here's what I'm looking to find out from the day on the Hill today:
1. Does Clemens say he unknowingly took steroids? Is it possible MacNamee said it was B-12 when it wasn't? I could see Clemens attacking MacNamee saying he lied to Roger about what he was giving him.
2. How strong a case is the Mitchell Report now? MacNamee and Radomski, two key sources for the report were the suppliers. If Clemens continues to deny use then was Mitchell working with bad leads?
3. What else did Andy Pettitte say? There has got to be more about his use and possibly Clemens'. This is one of the few times a player pointed out another player for their use of steroids.
4. The big question is--who is lying? Because whoever is will likely perjure themselves likely leading to jail time. Will both be on a tight leash in what they say? I think we're learning from Barry Bonds that no one player is immune from the law.
5. The bigger question is, how does baseball respond?
