William Roger Clemens.....

It was nice knowing ya, sir. Via Foxsports.com:

Photos may exist that show Roger Clemens attended a 1998 party at a home of then-teammate Jose Canseco that was an issue at the Feb. 13 hearings before the congressional subcommittee, The New York Daily News reported.

Such a discovery could undermine Clemens' sworn testimony that he did not attend the party as the congressional committee decides whether to turn baseball's steroids issue over to the Justice Department.

The paper said the photo is owned by a man who attended the party when he was 11 years old and took photos of his baseball heroes, including Clemens. Richard Emery, a lawyer for Clemens accuser Brian McNamee, said he was aware of the new development.

"We have reason to believe it's reliable evidence," Emery said. "We believe there's photographic evidence that shows Clemens at a party he says he wasn't at."

There is more, but you can visit the site and read it for yourself. Provided this true, ummm....good morning. Good afternoon. And good night for Roger Clemens, if the Justice Department decides to launch an investigation. It obviously contradicts what Clemens denied in front of the subcommittee. I think the investigation will happen. The government can't pass up a chance to show the American people that they are serious about having their sports on an even playng field. Plus, there would be a lot of publicity. You know they can't pass that up. Andy Pettitte might be called in as a witness. Yeah, it could be a mess and definitely bad for baseball as the investigation and possibly a trial will take national stage and upstage the MLB games. It's just sad.

THANK YOU, GEORGE MITCHELL!

P.S. Why in the blue hell hasn't Bud Selig publicly apologize for allow players use PEDs in the MLB?

While you're thanking George Mitchell, how about asking him why he didn't finish the job?? Does anybody think he got everybody that has done PED's. He didn't even scratch the surface.But as a member of the board of directors of a ballclub, that doesn't really surprise me.It's nice that he didn't throw any rocks at his own glass house.

Uhhh how much more was Mitchell supposed to do without subpoena power? Was he expected to nail at least one Red Sox player on PEDs before calling it a day?
