 In an attempt to spoil our Spring happiness, Brian McNamee has come forward with more "news" (i.e. self-deprecating confessions) regarding the never-ending Roger Clemens' steroid scandal. He injected him with an illegal substance in a hot tub. Not just any hot tub, but the sacred hot tub in Yankee Stadium. Another time (July or August of 2001) McNamee claims he shot up The Rocket in the pitcher's high-rise Manhattan apartment. "That day, he laid out the drugs, dropped his trousers and I did as he asked, that is, inject him with steroids. Afterwards, he told me to get rid of the needle. I went into the kitchen and found an empty Miller Lite can in a wastebasket under the sink," McNamee proclaimed. "I put the used needle into the can because it was actually hazardous material at that point and I didn’t want anyone to get hurt by sticking themselves. He told me to throw it away but I kept it instead." Thanks for the visual. I'm having trouble deciding who's the bigger douchebag here. Seriously, Roger? Miller Lite?
But wait! Federal authorities seem to have discovered hard evidence to convict the seven-time Cy Young Award winner: performance-enhancing substances found on the materials that McNamee said he used to inject him. I used to care. I honestly did.
What really bothers me about this whole mess is not whether Clemens used performance-enhancing drugs or not, or that he actually enjoys the taste of Miller Lite, it's the fact that this "scandal" is flooding our inboxes and newspapers while great baseball stories are being overshadowed or quickly forgotten. The Kingdom of the Netherlands rocked the Dominican Republic's world this week in the World Baseball Classic. The Minnesota Twins may be short an All-Star catcher to kick off their 2009 season. Manny Ramirez and Kerry Wood are making their Spring debuts. Alex Rodriguez underwent surgery and won't be back in action until May. Big news, people! These stories are 100% more important to me than some admission by a washed-up trainer about a washed-up pitcher dropping trou 8 years ago to get shot in the rear in an attempt to avoid long-term stints on the disabled list, or to put some extra zip on his diminishing fastball. Whatever the reason, can we please move on? Trackback(0)

Sorry to disappoint, Tony! If it makes you feel any better, I wrote it while wearing my swimsuit.

If he is using Miller Lite to store discard needles, you certainly can't say its less filling...so it must be cause it taste great

I'm still trying to figure out if this was a joke, or if it was serious question as to my Rumor Central column. I've had serious technical difficulties that prevent me from posting in the past 24 hours so Greco had to put it up for me.
