What a bummer. Girlie Curt (the one who gave us that croak about pitching the day after sme carpenter crudely stapled one of his tendons to his ankle . .OUCH!!!) won’t be able to pitch this season. I guess he’ll take those $8 Mill. from the sux as a down payment on their funding of Curt’s next endeavor: A fiercely brutal baseball video game. What a guy! He’ll probably ask for those incentives in the contract to be paid because he tried but couldn’t fulfill his side of the bargain due to force majeure (his lack of cojones). Bruce, you don't like Schilling because he pitches for Boston. Yes he has a big mouth, but when he's on the mound especially during the post season he is lights out. Something the Yankmees don't have. Look at the list of picthers who have gone to the Yankmess since 2000. Moose, The Big Unit, Pavano, the guy who started game #7 of the '04 ALCS - I can't recall his name. What do they all have in common? With the Yankmees they can't WIN. You comments just show how jealous you are of his success in Boston. Talk about "what a guy". | |

Yeah Roger did Ped”s in 1998 to 2001 but NEVER after 2001, TRUST ME and I have traces of those Ped’s he took in the buttock but they belong to the 1998-2201 period (when I didn’t know anything about MLB future stance on the subject but I’m a pretty good fortune teller so there I was saying to myself let me keep all this bloody gauze maybe when cloning is permissible I can get my own version of the rocket or in the worst case scenario if any smart prosecutor comes after me I can deliver the Rocket instead) and you know me if I say they belong to 1998-2001 and not to any season after 2001 you have to take my word for it. Oh don’t forget about my immunity because I have a family and I don’t think I can’t take it in the rear I’m sure you’ll understand.
They can’t prove the traces of DNA don’t belong solely to the 1998-2201 period? That’s not my problem; they can’t prove they belong to the 2002-2007 (when I actually took them) either. I used to be a cop; I know my evidence. | |

I’ve never been a fan of Mike and the Mad Dog. Then came the Cory Lidle flop and I totally disliked them and stopped watching the show altogether.
Fast-forward to present time and . . . Voila! Don Zimmer is ON and instantly my eyes and ears are glued to the TV set. Beautiful Zimmer is on!! What’s not to love? Gone to Tampa but never forgotten.
I almost forgot. Zimmer says he’ll be surprised if Joe G. doesn’t do well with our team. My very thoughts exactly.
Joe: don’t let the team pay too much attention to the current D.C affair and lose focus of the job at hand.
Let the Rocket’s lawyers take care of business, the Rocket must still have a whole bunch of un-cashed checks for that purpose. The team must come first ALWAYS. | |

This McNamee affair has gone beyond the point of no return. Blood is in the offing. There is a lesson for everybody to learn from this innocent disagreement now turned into a mess: Wealthy athletes need to plan their lives choosing their posses carefully since such relationships are no longer a small matter (every star seems to need one) and pay them well. You have to pay for their loyalty with real money, not with favors and autographs. Sociologists will say later that cold cash is the only currency universally acceptable in this type of dealings. Otherwise it becomes a “pay me now or pay me (in blood) later” type of situation. | |

Whatever the outcome of this affair (to the biased media Roger is the one that is risking a lot) if this become a protracted legal fight Roger who was able to con a few teams out of a ton of money lately (which no longer will be used for whatever purpose he earmarked it) stands a better chance (if he and his dumb lawyer keep their mouths shut that is and that annoying periplaneta (Lupica) gets run over by a yugo) because all that material needs to be tested and even if the tests lean towards McNamee there is no way in the world he can prove he didn’t doctor those bloody gauzes and syringes.
McNamee on the other hand has to hope that someone will believe him because the Feds were after him not Roger he just offered Roger as soon as the feds asked him are you McNamee? His immediate response probably was: “I can give you the Rocket and I go free” or words to that effect and “BTW my name is McNamee.” There are several (unsolicited) articles written by him that assured the sporting world that great athletes like the Rocket were excelling due to hard work and talent alone and not due to PED’s, plenty of articles to be quoted and presented as evidence. It will be the centuries old dilemma: Did he lie then or now? | |

McNamee’s behavior is typical of a person who is incredibly loyal to someone like the rocket and who’ll do anything to protect his friend and benefactor. Same way he protected that woman at that pool in Tampa; his intentions were noble but along the way he got horny and positioned himself so that he could hold her steady while feeling good about himself trying to keep her in the dark part of the pool so both of them could remained naked and almost invisible to the untrained eye.
Clever trick that worked that time and contributed to the Ninja complex he has recently shown to posses and he might be in for a rude awakening because if this case goes to court he’ll be dead meat because top lawyers (the real one who demand real money) will easily prove he lied to investigators when he negotiated that Judas deal. Granted he was only trying to protect himself when he pulled that Nostradamus move and decided well ahead of his generation that he’d better have the material he’s peddling now fresh and ready for the House committee which I’m sure he knew would be forthcoming (this guy is a curious combination of Albert Einstein and Pee-Wee Herman, no stone left unturned).
A (twisted) thinking cop well ahead of his time. | |

So his thinking goes like this: if he beat the Tampa rap he shouldn’t have any problem dealing with those dumb politicians; how smart can they be when they are easily swayed by that walking brain donor poor excuse of a tabloid writer (same who wears size 6 shoes and you know what they say about men with big feet right)?
Careful what you wish for McNamee. So far you’re batting 1.000 but your luck will surely run out you don’t have the bucks needed for this war. You jumped the gun you acted irrational and you’re about to go down. In a legal proceeding you lose and sooner or later your behind will have multiple claims staked on it (wearing those sexy stripes). Sooner or later, as the great Marichal . . . I mean Pedro would say: the chicken will come home to ROOSTER!
All Clemens has to do is spend some of that money he highjacked from the Astros and the Yankees and you’ll be done. You can’t win that war. I feel sorry for the bleeding hearts who’ll say: “but he was forced to do it, he had no choice.” We all have choices.
UNLESS you have some dirt on Debbie’s pooch too; that will require a deeper and more sophisticated strategy.

What did Pee Wee mean when he told Sports Illustrated: “I know what I did was wrong."
No kidding! Where do we start? | |

This rapist (sorry I forgot he cares so much about his reputation) held bloody syringes and gauze for seven years? What kind of rationale could explain that other than he’s a twisted pric&k? I would be curious to know what he has in his fridge that goes back 15 or 20 years. How do we know his real first name isn’t J-e-f-f-r-e-y? | |

Was little twisted McNamee afraid that Debbie Clemens would throw him under the bus TOO? Or is he downright D-I-R-T-Y?

I don’t know about this guy who does the talking for Clemens. This Hardin Squire.
I don’t see anything wrong with special agent Novitzky attending the D.C. hearings. He signed agreements with the two drug pushers he was after, in exchange for probation on one case and no charges on the second. He has an interest on these proceedings and that’s not necessarily getting Clemens but to make sure McNamee and the other Jackass don’t tell any lies and as this other jerk Emery says: “a crime will be committed.” Indeed because McNamee has been changing his version of events by the day, so, how can anybody state that Pee-Wee has lived up to his part of the agreement? Novitzky or someone else has to come after him for knowingly withholding evidence which now it seems he was keeping for some sort of not so subtle poor man’s blackmail that he never had the chance to pull off. | |

What other explanation is there? How can anybody in his right mind expect us to believe that he kept all this dirty disposable package for 7 years just because this seventh sense of his (the Nostradamus/former cop. That one) told him to do so?
That’s so lame!! (That happens when you read the Da Vinci Code Ad nauseating. It plays tricks with your mind). | |

David Wright said about last season ending: “I wasn’t up there during the rough times last year answering questions because I wanted to be considered a leader. I was up there because I’m as accountable as the 25th guy on the roster as to why we didn’t get the job done. We’re all in this together. WE WIN AS A TEAM, WE LOSE AS A TEAM.
Thank You David, glad to see you’re on with the program.
Met Mad Hatter, your witness (and your 50 different old and new handles as well). And Oh yeah I keep talking to myself. Thanks for asking. | |

They are desperate. One thought he had full free use of the media at a moment’s notice and it still seems that way. The other one thought that by kissing the patrician’s behind he might get instant acceptance in the most inner circles of Washington.
Similar to what happened to McNamee he saw himself like the lost brother of the Rocket sort of like Schwarzenegger and De Vito in Twins and maybe he was right to feel that way. But when he realized that he wasn’t above the law and the feds were not interested in athletes but in drug pushers he got shiit scared and started planning and probably initiated the new contact with Clemens and all his friends when he heard that the Rocket was coming back to New York on a suicide mission at a new prorated salary.
By then the feds were closing in on him and the hounds were almost licking his ears let alone breathing down on him and presto he got it: Let’s help Clemens get ready again grab some gauze and bandages and wipe his forehead and other parts rich in blood and DNA and he had a clean getaway. Or so he thought because Clemens being the bully he’s always been thought he could just push the reporters around and take his case to the fans and they’d believe every word he said.
That was his first reaction (and deputy sheriff Lupica, no longer a marshal mind you, couldn’t be happier) and that left him looking irrational and stupid (word) and the plan that started when the most respected Senator alive (and wealthy) chose to take the challenge from Bud (without renouncing to his ties with the sux screw all apparent conflict of interest) and ran those millions and millions in expenses mostly spent at starbucks and other much more pricier establishments because there was no investigation they just took what it was offered to them, after all someone delivered a couple of well known Yankee pitchers on his lap. What more could you ask for if you want the sux to win another WS Title? | |
| Bruce4RealPosts: 1681Location: Join Date: November 29, 2007 11:46 PMSend Message | Anyway he decided to go ahead and get the incriminating evidence from Pee-Wee and his reassuring nods and then came the biggest challenge in Mitchell’s professional career as a Senator and peace broker par-excellence. Should he allow the names of Pettite and Clemens to be named or not?, because he felt this was not about hurting players particularly those who did something stupid before this new MLB policy went into effect and the word was the feds were after pushers not players. So after agonizing terribly about this crucible give the patrician some credit because it took him about 10 seconds flat to add the names to the report that would be made public as promised to the 5 foot-well respected tabloid writer who now had a chance to nail Clemens and nail him good. After all how could this plan not work when Mitchell was revered by every democrat in congress and he had so many markers he could call on and Lupica felt like if those markers were also his. Lupica was going to have his cake and eat it too specially when Pee-Wee’s lawyers kept heralding that every move made by Clemens signified the noose was closing on him tighter and tighter. What was not to like? He had even learned words like discovery phase which sounded like Beethoven’s fifth in his ears, The Rocket was busted. Lupica's career greatly enhanced he will surely be asked by every network to be their anchor man; his soul was flying high, souring. He was predicting every move by the House committee as if by magic. Screw the Daily News he was going global (just like Gore) and then what happened? | |

Simple. Enter sandman (in this case Lanny Breuer who knows a thing or two about how Congress operates) and things began to look not so bleak for Clemens and Pee-Wee’s lawyers went ballistic (literally) and so did Lupica the man who would be tall.
Fast-forward to present time and what do we have? Lupica is incoherent, a broken man, his dreams shattered, barely making sense accusing Clemens of turning the House into a silly, lousy, cheap spectacle, saying things like: Congress should mind its own business and stay away from baseball, let baseball matters be handled by the Dept. of Justice, the same he accused of being too soft and slow on Bonds because he wanted Bonds stopped BY ANY MEANS POSSIBLE before he could brake Hank’s record. Oh no it was déjà vu all over again.
That’s why Lupica’s latest missiles directed to anything remotely connected to Clemens have multiple heads mostly duds. He had always stated that Bush is an Idiot who has not won the right to remotely represent the will of the people (I’m not saying he’s wrong on that one) YET he very conveniently wrote a few months ago that Bush did the right thing by calling on MLB to go after cheaters and he didn’t understand why Bush didn’t blatantly use the Dept. of Justice to finish the job on Bonds (yeah I’m a libertarian when I need to be a libertarian and after all a bit of abuse of power never hurt anyone). Now he sounds irrational he’s taking it to Congress for allowing Clemens to get to know them better and plead his case. He equates this to a felon about to become the defendant in a criminal case who is allowed to tamper with the jurors. BLASFEMY UND IGNORANCE herr Lupica. | |

In a court of law Mitchell and McNamee don’t stand a prayer, you conveniently forgot the he has to be found guilty BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT and that means McNamee’s testimony is inadmissible long before the trial might begin. Besides this is a Congress committee in a facts finding mission. You seemed to think that all congressmen are idiots because you say so. They can if they feel like have some pictures taken with the Rocket or Pee-Wee if they so chose. As you said when you were sort of licking your chops and placing your index finger inside Clemens’s wounds: This is congress you don’t mess with them they have the law on their side. Nothing has changed except that now the Rocket has a well qualified expert on Congress matters representing him. If Rocket can afford the guy where is the problem? You have already done all you can to block his admission into the HOF (or so you gave credit yourself for) well ahead of time. He has said he doesn’t give a rat (although he might have been thinking about Pee-Wee when he said that) about votes like yours. | |

You seemed to be utterly happy when it looked like if the Rocket was going to be fried in your court of public opinion (yeah your opinion) with a terrible standard of evidence inadmissible in any U.S. court, C’mon even the Civil Liberties Union would have had your tiny a$$ for breakfast). Yet you insist on walking into this path of abject desperation and irrational thirst for grandstanding and double standard completely losing your professional objectivity in the process.
Since I’m sure your superiors will stop you before you lose the last ounce of credibility you might have left I trust that you may become more impartial and objective not before long and watch American Justice at work.
I feel sorry for you because all this behavior of yours might end up helping Bonds in the long run and that would make you go really berserk but hey some of us at least tried to help you. Now it’s up to you. Either you begin to stand tall or just 5 feet tall going on 4. It’s your call. |
