I admit I have not heard all of the testimonies. I only caught about 15 - 20 minutes of the live stuff and since then it’s been nothing but snippets & video sound bites on ESPN. Even though I am a die-hard Yankees fan and love what The Rocket has done for us…he is looking a bit shaky to me. Like I said though, I haven’t really seen the whole thing.

So far I’ve seen Clemens opening statement. It was a good strong statement in my opinion. It emphasized his strong moral background and work ethic, his commitment to and love for the game. It certainly painted him in a very flattering light. No doubt at this point in the hearing, the Senators were at least moderately impressed with his opening grandeur. He was adamant about never using HGH and he gave every appearance of total self assurance. He told about the tons of work with charities and kids he done through the years…he’s a freaking saint!

That’s exactly what I thought until I started to see the snippets with Clemens sitting there looking more and more uncomfortable. I don’t want to get into a full commentary here until I see this thing in context, but boy it sure isn’t looking good on the TV. It isn’t sounding all that good either.

“Well sir, I think that he mis remembers the conversation that we had…”

You’d like to think the guy would have come armed a bit better than that! It seems so absurd that you almost think, “He MUST be telling the truth!”. None the less, I will stop myself here until I have more information on which to go on. I’m still pulling for you Roger, but you ain’t looking so hot.

Here are all the clips that seemed worth while I could find on YouTube.
