Hey, man. It’s cool and all that you need time to grieve, and the feds are more than happy to chill out while you’re down there. But… you’re going to have some ’splainin’ to do about those … facts? you told the government a while ago.
In all fairness to anyone, anywhere, anytime they’ve been accused of a crime, I believe in the justice system since I have no alternative. The story surrounding the steroid and PED issues that have occurred during the past three years is overwhelming if you care about baseball.
I, personally, am guilty of sometimes passing judgment without knowing all of the facts. I believe in due process. I just also happen to believe in my gut and I can’t possibly believe that Tejada, Clemens or any other person named thus far are innocent. We’ll see, I guess.

Ok, Roger.
You’ll have about 13 of the 60 Minutes to explain your B-12 (Palmeiro, anyone?) shots and your pain killers.
Then, you’ll have to make sure you ARE telling the truth because, under oath, this month, you’re the next contestant on the new hit game show that’s taking the country by storm: Believe it or Stuff it (thank you Gary Craig and John Elliot).
I’m not sure if you’ll plead the fifth or if you’ll sit there and tell only half of the story. I do know, however, that you’ll have a chance to look really good or really guilty. This is almost too easy, isn’t it?
If you go to D.C. and state your side, you’ll have two or more people waiting in line behind you to dispute your claims.
If you don’t go for some ridiculous reason, you’ll look guilty.
If you go and don’t talk, you’ll look guilty.
Hmmm… It should make for interesting television. Thank God for TiVo.
