I'm through with the both of them.

Roger Clemens can go screw as far as I'm concerned.  Listening to this hearing......ugh. Any last minute shred of doubt I had about Roger just flew out the **** window.  McNamee is scuzzier than a bucket of pond ****, but Clemens is no better.  And he should be.  Roger says he didn't know his best friend and wife were using HGH, but somehow Brian McNamee did know.  Right.  Okay.  I really wanted to believe him.  Even though I think the Mitchell Report is biased beyond belief and not worth the paper it's printed on, I didn't want it to be right.  A part of me honestly believed they went after him because he's Roger Clemens, not because he was guilty.  Well, no more.  He and Pete Rose and Barry Bonds can commiserate together about how they're not in the HOF when it's all said and done and maybe baseball can finally put this embarrassing episode behind it.  And while I'm throwing out the vitriol, and extra-special helping goes to Bud Selig for being blind and deaf and acting like what was clearly going on -- wasn't.  I find him as much to blame for this mess as the players who were involved in it.  Add to this what John Rocker said (and take it with a grain of salt, look who's talking) about how MLB and the Player's Union encouraged him to take steroids.  If this is true, it shows even more complicity in this matter as far as Selig is concerned.  How could he NOT know about what was going on?

To sum up:  Eff you Roger, eff you McNamee and eff you MLB for letting this sorry, sordid mess go on as long as it did.
