As I have previously stated, Wednesday's are perhaps my favorite day of the week this semester. Not only do I get a 7+ hour break between classes, but I get to enjoy my only journalism class on this day. Today, I was also able to watch just about all of the Clemens-McNamee hearing today on ESPN. There were no shockers in what they said to Congress today and I'm actually somewhat disappointed that watching almost 5 hours worth of hearing really led nowhere. Nothing was decided although I found myself rooting for Clemens more than McNamee (Clemens' former personal trainer). McNamee seems like he is more believable as he's got nothing to lose and Clemen's has his reputation on the line, but I am rooting for Clemen's for the mere fact that I'm worried about what might happen to the game of baseball if he's found he lied today. I really don't want to see the game tarnished by any means and it seems that these never ending steroid hearings involving the United States government are starting to give our national pastime a black eye (if it already hasn't). Lou Pinella, manager of the Cubs, said today that he didn't mind what they were doing but didn't want to see it upstage the game and spring training. I think it would be a shame if this kept going into the season because the game doesn't deserve this. So here's to hoping that the next five years aren't overshadowed with steroid talk and accusations about famous ballplayers using banned substances. We've all got the right to hope, correct?
Valentine's Day tomorrow. Brace yourself.
