Pettitte still has some rough days ahead

[rem16]

TAMPA, Fla. -- Have we ever seen anything like this?

Have we ever seen a player do what Andy Pettitte did Monday?

Have we ever seen a baseball player, stuck in the muck of a performance-enhancing drugs scandal, sit behind a microphone and explain it all for close to an hour?

Actually tell us what he did? And why he did it? And how it felt? And why he lied about it?

The wronged man
Why is Pettitte under fire for doing the right thing?


TAMPA, Fla. -- I keep hearing this idea from fans about how Andy Pettitte wronged Roger Clemens by telling the truth to Congress about their now infamous HGH conversation of 1999. They think Pettitte should have conveniently "forgotten'' that conversation, as if lying under oath is the right route.

And I can think of no bigger crock than that.

If anyone wronged anyone here, Clemens is the one who wronged Pettitte.

It takes a man of strength to tell the truth. Clemens is a coward.
