The Aftermath Begins

Posted by M. Patel under News 

Roger ClemensIt has been over a day since the Mitchell Report was released and sparks are flying left and right. The biggest controversy is over Roger Clemens. Considered to be one of the greatest pitchers in this era of baseball, the Rocket is facing a lot of scrutiny. He is fighting back though; he has denied all claims and has hired a lawyer already with the possibility of suing still open. Former Yankees trainer, Brian McNamee, was the one who told Mitchell that Clemens had taken steroids. It is possible though, that McNamee was just throwing out a big lie in hopes of getting a better plea bargaining deal (he is currently being tried for distributing steroids). It will be interesting to see what Clemens does and how it will all effect his legacy, especially whether or not he remains a potential Hall of Famer.

In other news, well its just more Mitchell madness. The MLB is asking Congress to postpone the hearing they are supposed to give about the investigation next week. Apparently giving the first ever Allan H. (Bud) Selig Mentoring Award is more important than this investigation. As the days pass I am starting to dislike Selig more and more…
