The Rocket, Roger Clemens, will appear before Congress on Wednesday. 

Some of our distinguished representatives were wondering what fueled the Rocket.  While MLB plays out its steriod-fueled karma, football is getting some Capitol Hill face time.  Roger Goodell (Rog for short), you know that lil letter you wrote to Sen. Specter wasn’t gonna fly, didn’t ya?  Stank-0 knows there are those that wonder why Arlen Spector is on this witch hunt, but MLB is Exhibit A of letting things slide, nah mean? 

One of the most celebrated and decorated pitchers of his era is having to answer questions about his performance.  The questions alone cast quite a shadow on Clemen’s achievements, ie 7 Cy Youngs and a first ballot lock for the Hall.  The Rocket has to know, pompous lawyer notwithstanding, that Andy Pettitte’s testimony did not help his case in the least.

Stank-0 is tempted to feel sorry for the Rocket, until he remembers the 25/7 media circus coverage that clung to Barry Bonds.  If you crucify one, then the rest need crosses too.
