This would be the act of an innocent man OR someone who believes his own lies and is about to end up with egg on his face and jail time for purgery.

Imagine the reaction when the witness list includes Andy Pettitte for the defense.

Maybe this is just so he now has another excuse to not sign a contract until July?

He looked like somebody who wanted to kick some serious ass. I don't know if his body language was from being pissed for getting caught or pissed from somebody lying about him.

"pulling tractors with my teeth" ......now that was funny.

You might be able to watch it Yahoo.

Really? I thought he looked absolutely terrified, and his denials were not convincing.

anyone listening to this taped call between Clemens and McNamee?

- Roger was trying to so hard to get McNamee to say that McNamee was lying.

I don't know what to believe with Clemens. At least Clemens is coming out swinging, but it is 4 weeks to late?

I dont think he looked terrified but you are right, his denials were not convincing at all.

Exactly. 4 weeks late is not coming out swinging--it's crawling out of your shell to see if the coast is clear.

Imagine being wrongly accused of something of which you KNOW you're innocent. You deny immediately and vociferously, with counter-evidence. It's not enough to say, as Clemens did, again and again and again: "Didn't happen." You have to say, "It didn't happen because.." Again, when you're wrongly accused of something, as we've all no doubt been at some point, how easy is it for you to tell the truth, provide evidence, alibis, explanations, etc.?

Clemens refused to talk, was nowhere to be seen for weeks. That is not the natural action of an innocent hall of famer having the legitimacy of his career questioned.

And his performance last night was shaky--at best. I thought he looked terrified that Wallace was about to reveal some piece of info that pull the cover off once and for all.

Waht the legals folks were saying is this is so he doesn't have to give clear answers adn avoid pleading the 5th in front of congress. With legal action he just not answer because it still pending
