Clemens scandal, revisited

With the New York Post reporting yesterday that Roger Clemens maintained a decade-long affair with country singer Mindy McCready that began when she was just 15. What is next for the Rocket? That is to say, what is left? As the saga has unfolded, we’ve watched Clemens crumble from atop the moral soapbox we once placed the ageless (now, juiceless?) pitcher. Has he fallen to the bottom rung of public opinion? Does he have any room left to redeem himself? Is the HOF bid now a lost? Is there more dirt to be uncovered?

What can you say?

Clemens will be the pitching poster child for the steroid era the same as Bonds is the hitting equivalent. It is a tragedy for any die hard baseball fan that these great players who defined an era were cheaters. The HOF bid is still there (after all, he didn't commit the supposedly more grievous sin of gambling), but anyone with a sense of baseball history knows that there is a discontinuity of that history now. This is in part thanks to guys like Clemens. Bravo!

This is true

To this point he has only ravaged his reputations as a dominant pitcher, a natural athlete, a role model, a faithful husband, an honest citizen who doesn't lie to the powers that be, and a decent person with the integrity to avoid sleeping with children. Surely there are more things he can do to damage himself in the public eye. As Freddie pointed out, he hasn't killed anyone.
