Clemens...Does anyone think Clemens is innocent? In my mind it is about 95%-5%, guilt vs. innocence. That 5% chance of innocence is extremely remote.

Pettite admitted that McNamee injected him. Clemens chose not to admit and has gotten himself into the most protracted legal mess he's seen. He's probably going to be proven as a liar eventually. He's lost so much credibility with the public. If I'm the Yankees, maybe I consider filing a suit later on to recover money from fraud. I'd be surprised if Clemens' contract didn't have a clause to protect the organization from illegal conduct while under contract to NY Yankees.

Here was an article at ESPN, for those who might want to see some of the points.

The problem with Clemens situation is that his illegal conduct became worse as he lied about it. If he's under oath at some point, he'll be in danger of criminal prosecution for perjury. You know he's lying when he will, I think, later on refuse to testify under oath. It will be as patent a signal as one can find that he isn't credible.
