Roger Over And Out

Hello. Usually I don't comment on baseball, because I've always thought it was a sport that died a long time ago. However, the Roger Clemens train wreck is too big to ignore.
Clemens was always known as a guy who did things his own way. And let's face it, the guy could pitch, even when he started his career. Obviously too many people let him get away with his behaviour because of his ERA.
Then the Mitchell report comes out. While it has been regarded by many as just scratching the surface, it certainly scratched hardest on the Rocket. And when he denied it like he was in pain, the scratching continued to find his wife using HGH, his friend and teammate Andy Pettite using HGH, his friend and teammate Jose Canseco using everything, and affairs with multiple women. The thing all these other people did that Clemens hasn't done is admit it all.
Clemens did start in the right direction by saying he did everything except take performance enhancers. It's a good first step.
Now it's time to do a Marion Jones, who denied for years she took enhancers in spite of her two significant others being caught doing it. She finally came clean.
As one blogger said, admitting to multiple affairs should be more difficult than admitting to taking enhancers. If you're a man. Do it soon, so everyone can move on.

Regards,
Steve
