Baseball legend Roger Clemens found not guilty of perjury

[Lacarnut]

Your revisionist history about a team/fans you know nothing about is chuckle worthy... well, maybe not chuckle worthy.   More of a pity laugh. 

It burns your ass that he was given a standing ovations by Red Sox fans when he announced his retirement in an opposing team's uniform. Shame you were not there just like it is a shame you did not see Roger inject himself with anything.

Clemens will be inducted into the Hall. I care less what round it is. You are making a fool out of yourself, and people on this board are laughing at your stupidity. You need to quit taking those mind alterting drugs.

And for the record, FL--were it not for the incredible stupidity of Gil Garcetti trying the OJ case downtown instead of Santa Monica, the testimony of Furman, and a whole slew of missteps by the prosecution, OJ would in fact be on Death Row.

Jury nullification. It didn't happen in the civil case, or the next felony case against OJ the ripper.

You want me to count the ways this case against Roger was blown?

After Struggling to Win Only 40 Games in His Last 4 Years with the Sox,
Roger Decided He Wanted to Be a Rocket Man Again...

Rocket Man
by: Paul Paliotta (with apologies to Bernie Taupin)

As performed by Roger Clemens in the winter of 1996/1997

I packed my bags last night pre-flight
My pitching days, were near an end
And they said it was the twilight of my career by then
I miss my curve so much, I miss my strikes
I'm loading on some weight
So I think the time is right

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Till Mitchell comes around and then they'll find
I'm not the man they think I am at all
Oh no, no, no
I'm a Rocket Man
Rocket Man, striking out my foes on anadrol
But I think it's gonna be a long, long time

This ain't a young man's face, I'm not a kid
In fact I'm old as hell
But I got a plan to change that, and I think I will
And all the science, I don't understand
It's just a shot into my cheek
And I'm a Rocket Man, a Rocket Man!

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time
Till Mitchell comes around and then they'll find
I'm not the man they think I am at all
Oh no, no, no
I'm a Rocket Man
Rocket Man, striking out my foes on anadrol
But I think it's gonna be a long, long time

   You are such an incredible cry baby. 

You are the one that has her panties in a wad. Bosox management let go two of the greatest ball players that ever lived go...The Babe and Roger. What a dumb ass organization.  

Clemens is on his way to the Hall as a Yankee.

[Lacarnut]

You want me to count the ways this case against Roger was blown?   

Government spent millions over a 5 year period; the evidence was woefully lacking. Therefore, jurors found him not guilty. Being in the law profession, you should know how the system works. In your case, stupid is as stupid does.

Unlike you, most fans want him to go to the Hall.

WashPost Sports Section Blames Bush for Roger Clemens Prosecution

[snip]

The Washington Post can’t even keep the liberal politicking out of the Sports section. On Wednesday, sports columnist Sally Jenkins somehow blamed a George W. Bush speech snippet for the Roger Clemens prosecution: "The Clemens case came about because a handful of zealots who are presumably bored by their real jobs were overly empowered by former president George W. Bush’s mention of the performance-enhancing-drug issue in his 2004 State of the Union address."

What else are they going to blame Bush for? This is insane!

[formerlurker]

This is an absolute joke. Clemens voluntarily went before Congress in 2008, unleashed a stream of whoppers that would have made any polygraph explode, and got slapped with a perjury indictment. It’s all erased now because the boobs in the prosecutor’s office showed the jury some video of Rep. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) referring to former Yankees pitcher Andy Pettitte’s recollection of conversations with Pettitte’s wife, Laura. Suddenly, Hardin looks like the smartest guy since dumb-like-a-fox Joe Pesci fooled ’em all in “My Cousin Vinny.’’

Roger, Rusty, Deb, the K-kids, the Hendricks Brothers and Roger’s pals must be having a good laugh over this one. The feds were foiled in the Barry Bonds trial, but at least they came away with one guilty count of obstruction of justice. This time, they came away with nothing but abject embarrassment and the wrath of the nation’s taxpayers.

You should be infuriated. I am. A lot of sports fans were opposed to this trial on the grounds that it was a waste of money. You know the argument - “who cares if Roger cheated and lied? That was a long time ago. He’s a baseball player. He’s not a threat to society.’’

I was in the other corner, defending the feds. I wanted to see Clemens stand trial and try to explain how he could stand on front of Congress with such defiance in the face of so much contrary evidence. Ballplayers and sports executives routinely lie to the media and it doesn’t really matter. But I shared the naive opinion that it’s not OK to lie in front of Congress or grand juries. The American system needs to be protected from blatant abuse of sworn testimony. It also seems like a good idea to remind young people that it’s not OK to take performance-enhancing drugs to advance in your sport of choice. I’m one of those suckers who believes in a level playing field.

Roger went to Congress believing he was a god and left losing first ballot.   Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy.

Opinions are like assholes. Everyone's got one including the Boston.com article. However, the jury found him not guilty based on the evidence rather than hate filled fans like you and the media. Get over your whining.

Now now, she's just pissed because Derek Jeter has as many rings in his career as the Sox do since Fenway was built.

And you want to talk about shitcanning players who went on to break it off in Boston's ass?

One name--WADE BOGGS.

What about Wade Boggs?  I hate Boggs?  since when. 

I don't spend anytime thinking about pretty boy Jeter, but you apparently do. 

[Ptarmigan]

It is the curse....I tell you.    Or could it be that Bosox management was too cheap to keep him. 

Most fans gave him a rousing applause his last game in a Red Sox uniform. Only the haters still have a grudge against him.

The Bambino Curse of the Red Sox is long gone.

I just chuckle to myself to think that ONE GUY has more rings than an entire franchise has had in over a century, but ya'll think your team's shit don't stink.

Another name of someone who could and should have pissed on Theo the Spreadsheet on the way out the door--NOMAR.

[obumazombie]

The Cubbies will win over 120 games this year, not lose a game in the playoffs as the top seed, and sweep the world series, regardless of their opponent. This is the year.

[THA HOUSTON PIMP IS IN DA HOUZ!]

By the way, did Wade Boggs ever get cured for his sex addiction?

(ducks under desk to avoid flying objects from FL)

How many rings does the Angels have again???   Exactly. 

Nomar wanted to leave, did piss all over Theo on his way out, and still to this day gets a standing ovation when he comes to Boston.   Boras royally screwed him over.

Red Sox took the series?   Yeah and the Sox suck this year.   Sorry. 

[Kyle Ricky]

The Cubs? Bull shit. The Bucs are going to break their losing season streak and win the World Series this year. Yeah, then I just woke up.

Hey, it's only been 100+ years for the Cubbies, time is on their side, yes it is.

I root for the Cubs - I would love to see them take it.  They are due.
