McNamee Provides Clemens DNA Match

Apparently, storing all those gauze pads and syringes in his basement like some nut job is going to pay off for Brian McNamee. Reports are surfacing that the evidence provided from the former trainer of Roger Clemens provides a DNA match to the once-mighty pitcher.

Next up, the scientists on the case are trying to determine if there are traces of steroids or HGH in the syringes.

Seriously, though, does it even matter? What if the scientists can't determine what was in the syringes? Are we all to believe Clemens over McNamee at this point?

Obviously, prosecutors need a match for their case to hold as much water as possible. For me, though, that ship has sailed. The more distance we get from the situation, the more obvious it is that McNamee has been telling the truth the entire time. He initially didn't even want to testify against Clemens, then was forced to do so by the feds. There's really no reason to believe McNamee is making any of this up, so why would he have lied about injecting Rocket with illicit substances?

Of course, Clemens' side will have you believe McNamee is creating everything to fulfill some sort of massive witch hunt. It doesn't make sense because he has nothing to gain by lying. I'm not sure why he saved all these syringes and gauze pads, but he did. And the DNA on the evidence matches Clemens'. That's not an accident, although, to hear it from Rocket's lawyer, Rusty Hardin, it doesn't matter.

"It will still be evidence fabricated by McNamee," Hardin told the paper. "I would be dumbfounded if any responsible person ever found this to be reliable or credible evidence in any way."

Well, I'm not necessarily saying I'm "responsible" in Hardin's eyes, but I think the evidence is very credible, and quite damning. From his treatment of Mindy McCready to Brian McNamee, it's painfully obvious Clemens is a selfish man -- willing to take anyone down in a desperate attempt to salvage his credibility. All he had to do was own up to his mistakes like a man, instead he's wasting tons of time and money -- all the while making himself, and everyone close to him, appear worse in the public eye.

Next up, his perjury charges for lying to Congress.

While I agree lying is wrong I find it sad that Clemens has been made an example of when we know that a number of our star athletes have used enhancement drugs. I believe it is the nature of the beast and lets face it the better you play the more money you make....Is Clemens the first of many to be charged for use or will they just charge him for perjury?? I just don't want this to lead to justification for more use in the sports world.

A bum like Clemens will probably be given a pass and go into the Hall of Fame while a great pitcher like Bert Blylevn can't get in. Baseball writers are A-HOLES.

If you think Bert Blyleven is a better character and more deserving in the HOF than Roger Clemens, then check out reports from the Orange County DA's Office in California and you can see what kind of person he really is... I think he has alot in common with Ol Roger, but I never read where Roger was a abuser to women physically. Call up the DA's office should be public reports available.

They should take clemens and the rest of these cheaters and take away all their records. It will never happen because no one in baseball would ever take a record away from barry bonds. there would be riots, because blacks are allowed to cheat. they should either take away all records or they should forget about all the investigations. think Pete Rose what did he really do wrong?

McNamee is a weasel, why hasn't anyone tagged for illegally storing a bio-hazard? Last I knew it was.

Clemens was a hall of famer with only the years he was with the Red Sox. I don't care if he used steroids or not. With many batters using, the smaller ballparks and the shrunken strike zone I would say it was all relative. The true bad example for kids would be the rat bastord Mcnamee. The feds do not make you do anything. An individual decides to rat because they are afraid to take responsibility for their own actions. Teach your kids not to"Tattle" and take responsibility for what you do. If it means going to prison so be it. Most of the time cops bluff and trump up charges to scare you. Stand your ground and get a lawyer. Things will work out.

You know, you bastards are all out there talking shit about Roger Clemens......when each and every one of you would have done the SAME THING if it meant performing better than others (I don't care who you are).
But, he AND BRIAN MCNAMEE are both assholes ......McNamee for keeping the bio shit and Clemens for not taking it on the chin to begin with.
NOW, THERE's THE TRUTH!!!!!!

Bigdaddy.. You are an idiot at best. The gov't has taken a year not three. Can you even count? . They have gotten an indictment and will prove their case becuase he is guilty as a human can be. Do you think O.J. was innocent too. Here is the simple proof and listen close because I know you are slow.
Roger said that when he was talking to Andy about HGH it was not himslef he was talking about but his wife. He states that Andy MISREMEMBERED the conversation. The only problem is the date if that conversation was 3 years before his wife ever got an injection. got it no all YOU IDIOTS who think he might ne inocent. I could convict this fraud in 5 minutes with a jury of people with an IQ over 90.

Clemens should not be treated any differently than anyone else who LIES under oath. He should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law and made an example of. He should be shown as a liar and a cheat. THEN----go after him for his actions with an underage girlfriend. And he's still with his wife? Something strange there folks. Oh yeah, what a great example for our children. Wave bye-bye to the Hall of Fame, Roger. And that's the least of your worries.
