I really never thought that I would see the day when another major league baseball player might actually make the likes of Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire and Rafael Palmiero look good by comparison.  Roger Clemens appears to be determined to do just that.  What, with all of the "mis-remembering",  alleged affairs with nubile teenage country music stars, ex wives of fellow screw up and drunk, John Daly, New York bartenders, real estate agents etc .  You would think that a man as wealthy as Roger, who has been surrounded by the media for his entire career, would have invested some of his millions in a good public relations firm and then LISTENED TO THEIR ADVICE!   He has become monumentally successful at assassinating his own character.  Roger Clemens was one of the most beloved and feared competitors in the game before this train wreck began to unravel.  Now he will forever be linked with every facet of this ugly episode even convincingly implicated by his good friend Andy Pettitte.  Mark McGwire, coward and liar that he is, at least had the decency, when testifying before congress, to say nothing and then to very, very quietly go away and stay away.  Sammy Sosa, when testifying, suddenly "mis-remembered" how well he spoke english and utilized a translator deflecting some of the negative attention away from himself.  Rafael Palmeiro, after being discredited and implicated as the result of a positive test had the sense to leave the game as gracefully as possible and did nothing to make himself a target of even more potentially damaging accusations by concocting ridiculously difficult to believe tales of his innocence.  Raffy seemed to be aware that as much as he may have wanted to indulge himself and loudly proclaim his purity that it would only serve to tarnish his reputation and diminish his accomplishments further still.  Even Barry Bonds, the previously undisputed poster child for steroid and human growth hormone use and abuse has handled his messy predicament in a much more self serving way than Roger Clemens has managed to do.  I bet Barry wakes up every day, drops to his knees and thanks his God for distracting the public's attention which had previously been so focused on him.  Thanks in large part to Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds is now out of the spotlight.  The media, fans of the game, legislators and the public at large now seem to have set their sights firnly on Roger Clemens and deservedly so.  The longer and the louder that he protests, the more scrutinized Roger will become.  The end result is that even more unflattering stories from his past will continue to surface and undermine his dwindling credibility.  So much for dodging this debacle Roger.
