Baseball Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous baseball thoughts and observations.

So now Roger Clemens is saying that it was B12 and lidocaine that Brian McNamee injected him with. So - just for the record - Andy Pettitte admits McNamee injected him with HGH and now you admit that McNamee was correct in saying he injected you in the ass. But you want us to believe it was B12 even after your good buddy Andy admitted it was HGH? Roger - when you hit bottom you are supposed to stop digging... Matt Clement signs a deal with the Cardinals. This could be a move that works out just fine for both sides. The Cardinals desperately need pitching and Clement needs an atmosphere where the fans are super supportive. I'm rooting for Clement to be the 2008 NL Comeback Player of the Year. He seems like a really nice guy... I've long thought Kenny Williams and Jim Bowden were the two worst GM's in baseball. The more I think of the Swisher trade - the more I'm convinced I'm right about Williams. The White Sox just basically emptied their farm system for a 25+ HR guy. The fact is that even with Swisher - the White Sox have no shot of out-hitting either the Indians or Tigers. Pitching is the White Sox' only shot at contending but yet Williams traded away Jon Garland and now he's dumped his bargaining chips that were his one shot at a guy like Eric Bedard on Swisher. Maybe Williams is just trying to stay ahead of the Royals?... Joe Torre does his best Sergeant Schultz impression when it comes to steroids. "I see nothing. I know nothing."...
