Nothing particularly new to report on the Brian McNamee-Roger Clemens end of things, other than what Watson covered yesterday (Pettitte may have to come into court). It is interesting though, that McNamee's lawyers have ramped up their talk about the DNA tests on the syringes they presented to the court and how said tests will prove that Clemens is fibbing.
Of course, none of that is as interesting as finding out that a) Roger Clemens stinks at spelling, and b) his email address is Rocket something-something at something dot com. My guess is "Rocketman22 at aol dot com". From the Smoking Gun (who, naturally has copies of the emails, which were attached to a brief filed yesterday):
The e-mails ... were sent in October 2006, following the publication of a Los Angeles Times story reporting that Clemens and teammate Andy Pettitte were identified as steroid users in a confidential federal affidavit (the Times story proved to be erroneous). In the first e-mail, Clemens tells McNamee that, "Pet and I talk about the BS coming out. What a crock of sh*t!"
The athlete added, "Who knows next week they will be saying we robbed a bank or something. Stay hot. 22." After commiserating about problems caused by the Times report, McNamee sought to dispel any concerns "in regards to being a rat or flipping on you or anyone of my clients." Though Clemens now claims that McNamee has wholly fabricated accounts of his steroid use, the athlete did not appear to bat an eye when his crony referred to being a "rat" and "flipping" on the baseball legend. A cynic might refer to that as evidence of guilt on the pitcher's part.Yes, that's right. Roger Clemens signs his emails "22", calls Andy Pettitte "Pet", and, as mentioned above, his email address starts with "rocket". Oh, and he thinks that "dushbag" is the proper spelling for a commonly used vernacular insult that revolves around a feminine hygiene product. Nowhere to go but up from here.

Interesting that you just simply choose to be a sheep and rehash the tired deadspin argument.
That email exchange showed that much more than spelling mistakes by Roger. (i won't even get into all of the spelling mistakes my McNamee)
No, if you were paying attention, the Florida situation was brought up again, and Roger mentions something about McNamee saving a girls life, a position Roger has stated from the beginning, and a fact we know that McNamme has repeatedly lied about.
Maybe the Main stream Media going away is a bad thing, especially if all the bloggers are going to do is rehash lame junk from deadspin ..

Someone else once said: ' Cleamens, million dollar arm, 10 cent brain.'
I believe it was after he lost his temper years ago in an important playoff game with Oakland, durign his Red Sox years,in Oakland and swore at the home plate ump, repeatly...
His made his money, got his rings, trophy's, has embaressed his wife, kids names, so let's let him fade away and become a fat Texan, in peace...
- Just let him swing in the wind a few extra years with the HOF voting... those guys don't care about the game, or even pride...People like him, Rose, want the HOF, because you can make more at card shows. $$$$$
