IS CLEMENS GOING TO CALL PETTITTE A LIAR?

According to ESPN:

Andy Pettitte's affidavit helps to support Brian McNamee's version of events that the former trainer gave Roger Clemens steroids and HGH, Rep. Tom Davis told Newsday.

Although Pettitte won't testify at Wednesday's hearings, the left-hander's affidavit will be presented to Clemens at the hearing and will be part of the public record, the newspaper reported.

Asked whether Pettitte's desire to skip the hearing was a sign that his testimony was incriminating to Clemens, Hardin said, "it would be a huge mistake to assume that."

Sources told Quinn that Pettitte was not a good witness when he appeared before congressional lawyers during a sworn deposition on Monday. Pettitte often contradicted himself, the sources said, so the committee agreed to his request not to appear before the committee.

Lawyers familiar with the hearings would not say if Pettitte implicated Clemens as a steroids user in his testimony. However, they said that Pettitte's testimony didn't fully jibe with Clemens' versions of events.


IN MY EYES PETTITTE IS A GOOD GUY. HE PROBABLY TRIED TO SHEILD ROGER THE DODGER FROM THIS AS MUCH AS HE COULD, BUT WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE ANDY ISN'T GOING TO LIE TO SAVE CLEMENS' ASS, NOR SHOULD HE.

CLEMENS IS GOING TO TO BE GIVEN ANDY'S TESTAMONY AND HAVE TO SAY, "HE'S WRONG" OR "HE MISUNDERSTOOD" OR "HE'S NOT TALKING ABOUT HGH ETC." BASICALLY CALLING ANDY DUMB...WHAT A SHAME, BUT THROUGHOUT HIS PUBLIC LIFE CLEMENS HAS SHOWN HIMSELF TO BE CLASSLESS AND WHY WOULD THIS BE ANY DIFFERENT?

AT SOME POINT PETTITTE IS GOING TO HAVE TO ADDRESS THIS PUBLICLY AND HE NEEDS TO STOP HIDING BEHIND HIS "FRIEND" WHO WILL THROW HIM UNDER THE BUS THE FIRST CHANCE HE GETS.
