Punxsutawney Phil can go F*ck himself, as spring starts today, February 14




Hopefully, after today we can move on past these two idiots (doubtful), but we'll get to them later.


But now we can start to turn our focus towards these guys as they start spring training (and defense of their World Championship) today, my official first day of spring.




As for Clemens and McNamee, I listened to the majority of Wednesday's hearing and came to a couple of conclusions:

It's weird that the truth will ultimately lie with the person who has lied the least during this whole process. Normally, someone would have been truthful throughout the entire process, but that's not the case with Clemens or McNamee.


Andy and Laura Pettite will not be having Thanksgiving dinner or getting Christmas cards from the Clemens family anytime in the near future. Talk about throwing someone under the bus, Andy threw Roger under a fleet of Greyhounds.

It's surprising how inept and unprepared our Congressmen and women are. The lack of preparedness was appearant throughout the course of the hearings. It's not like Clemens and McNamee showed up at Congress' doorstep yesterday looking to have a hearing. The members of the Committee had at least six weeks to prepare and still we get such thought provoking questions as, "What uniform are you (Roger) going to where into the Hall of Fame?" and "Can you (Roger) describe your workout regime?" Aren't we trying to find out if Clemems took HGH or if McNamee is lying?

Two phrases that I'll take away from the hearings: McNamee's "It is what it is," and Clemens "Misremembered". McNamee's "It is what it is" is his way of saying that he's being truthful. Clemens used "Misremebered" to describe how Pettite couldn't correctly recall conversations that he and Clemens had.

Based on those phrases, here are some questions that I would have like to have seen asked yesterday.

Congressman: Mr. McNamee is it true that you are a complete and total scumbag:
McNamee: It is what it is
Congressman: Mr. McNamee is it true that while injecting a half-naked Debbie Clemens in the ass with HGH, you were hoping to inject a little bit more into her, if you know what I'm saying?
McNamee: It is what it is

Congressman: Mr. Clemens are you saying that you 'Misremember' ever taking steroids or HGH or are you saying that you never took steroids or HGH?
Clemens: It is what it is

Also, Happy Valentine's Day to all the couples out there. In thinking about Valentine's Day wouldn't it make more sense to have had a Scrooge-Bah-Humbug-kind of character poo-poo the merits of Valentine's Day, as a jilted lover, rather than have him take his anger out on Christmas.

It seems more realistic that people (especially the single ones) would hate Valentine's Day more and not have the Valentine's Day spirit, than not be in the Christmas spirit.

Just a thought.
