It's odd to me that Pettitte would go on record saying Clemens told him he took HGH years earlier while Clemens insists he misheard him. I know if I were such a high profile figure with doubts about my memory, I wouldn't go on record and say I heard the 7 time Cy Young Award winner say something compromising. And the longer Pettitte has talked, the more often he has had time to retract on any of his statements regarding the allegations Clemens took HGH (with Pettitte's wife also backing up her husbands words). But he hasn't. I also think it's odd that McNamee injected Clemens' wife with HGH pior to a photo shoot for Sports Illustrated a few years ago. Did Clemens approve of this? Apparently he "didn't know" and admonished her for doing so after the fact (uh huh). Kind of odd that she would do so once, with his trainer, without him knowing. She already released a written statement saying she regrets it. Is this just one big coincidence that Clemens is the only one who didn't take any performance enhancing drugs? I don't think so. But then again, I could think wrong. McNamee could be wrong. I mean, his stories haven't all been true thus far. Pettitte could of heard wrong. We could all be wrong but Clemens. I just find that highly unlikely.
Perhaps Clemens the politician is doing everything right, but maybe that's because Clemens the player did everything wrong.
