    But when will Nook Logan come out with his statement?

    No "if" about it, Andrew. Nimrod. And for the argument that it was because of an injury, then a doctor prescribes it. You don't but it from a guy you know.

    Very true.

    McNamee only mentioned Pettitte injecting 2 to 4 times somewhere between April 21-June 12, 2002, when Pettitte was injured. It's kind of, sort of realistic to beleive Pettitte is telling the truth. Meanwhile, it's going to be nearly impossible for Clemens to convince anyone that he didn't begin injecting in '98.

    McNamee says Clemens began asking Canseco about steriods in '98 and Winstrol injections began in late summer of '98. McNamee injected Clemens through the rest of the season, and Clemens went 11-0 with a 1.71 ERA in the second half of the year compared to 9-6 with a 3.55 ERA in the first half. He went off the juice in '99 (McNamee was still with the Blue Jays when Clemens was with the Yankees) and had a pretty mediocre season with a 4.60 ERA. Took steriods again the next season when he convinced the Yanks to hire McNamee and had himself two very solid seasons: 3.70 ERA in 2000 and a 3.51 ERA in 2001.

    McNamee's story seems to check out from '98-'01, at least when looking at Roger's stats.

    Clemens' list of people to kill keeps growing.

    Yeah, I'm sure Rocket is very happy about his workout buddy admitting to using HGH.

    How is Pettitte a rat for admiting (at least partially) what he did? He never mentioned anyone else.

    I see spnited's point here. To me a rat is somebody who gives up others to protect himself. That's not really what Pettitte did here.

    he's as bad as a rat for talking, giving street cred to McNamee.

    Edit: and he talked for self preservation.
