Clemens Congressional Hearing

[Spurminator]

Acutally, if I remember correctly, I think whottt was the last man standing in the Palmeiro defense and gave up only when the failed test was made public.

I don't know, I remember when the book came out and implicated all of those Rangers, Whottt's reaction was something along the lines of "Crap, that has to be right." I was surprised that someone would be that willing to believe such claims about his favorite player in a book written by Jose Canseco. Of course, it ended up being right.

I mentioned him before his name was ever mentioned by Canseco as one fo the examples of a guy who didn't do steroids and he was probably my favorite player in baseball at that time. I was defending his HOF worthiness based on his numbers....that's what most of the heated arguments you remember were about...his HOF worthiness based on his ulative totals as opposed to secondary PCT derived stats like OPS.

I did think Canseco's book was pretty incriminating though...I wasn't really defending him from the accusations in Canseco's book...but I wasn't passing judgement either....and I noted that there could be something to what Canseco was saying.


After ummm...he testified before congress under oath I did defend him


Hey guys...the way I look at it...it's better to think a guilty man is innocent than an innocent one guilty, and it's better to be wrong about a guilty man being innocent than an innocent one being guilty....it is about justice and all that. And if there's no proof...



And you know what...Palmeiro did say it could have happened because of Tejada...and Tejada was one of the names mentioned in the Mitc Report...


So what if Palmeiro was telling the truth?


I know, I know...to convince ya'll he's innocent he'd need to be more indiginant about the accusations and vociferous in mounting his own defense...like Roger....
