Speaking as a lawyer, I would have to say that Roger Clemens needs a new lawyer. This Rusty Hardin fellow is throwing gas on the fire. Prediction: Five years from now, when Clemens will be eligible for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, he will be in a federal penitentiary for perjury and obstruction of justice.

Addendum: Is it plausible that Andy Pettitte used performance-enhancing substances but that Roger Clemens did not? We know that Clemens is a competitor. Can’t you just envision him deciding to deny everything and destroy anyone who claimed otherwise? His friend Pettitte is caught in the middle. If he implicates Clemens, their friendship is over. If he lies for his friend, he risks being sent to prison. I hope kids learn from this incident that honesty is the best policy.
