This whole steroid investigation was about ONE thing: Getting Barry Lamar Bonds.
He was this cocky, proud nikka who didn't give a fukk about the media while breaking baseball's most sacred records. So the media had to get him. That was the premise of the entire steroid crackdown.
But unfortunately for cacs, it had unexpected consequences: Barry wasn't alone and now some media darlings got caught too. So they started spinning the whole thing by downplaying it.
Suddenly, it wasn't that big of a deal. Congressional hearings became a waste of time and money. The overzealous enthusiasm they had while chasing Barry was completely gone when Clemens, Pettite, McGwire, Giambi, Big Papi and others were unintentionally caught.
fukking cacs... :rudy:

Clemens was always considered a douche bag and a merc. Sorry to ruin your tantrum.

The Yay
that 'tantrum' is more or less on point except the reason bonds irritated the media is cuz he ignored it and wasnt being nice guy to them. so they grew to really hate on him especially since he was breaking records while doing it and not producing many stories for the media...

once the witch hunt started...there was no one the media wanted to fail more than barry

clemens while always a douche and all and even tho he was a great player, he never generated that kind of animosity...he was never going for the throne of alltime bests as far as I understand
he had a nickname. he wasnt ignoring the media. If Im wrong someone correct me

Some idiots here actually think that Clemens was hated?
Look how they were kissing his ass at the Congressional hearings, asking for his autograph and shyt. More importantly, the media didn't chase him like they did Bonds. Where are the books, rumor-fueled articles and SportCenter specials on him?

fukk outta here :rudy:

What does congress have to do with the disdain that the media has for Barry? If Barry was smart he would of smarten up and play the media politics. There's not a group of people that you wouldn't want against you than the media.

A few Floors Down from the Daily Grind
Up around New England this case has never strayed too far form the headlines or the talk show circuit.

People HATE that dude up here. The sports stations are non stop since last night on this waste of a verdict.

http://bostonherald.com/sports/columnists/view.bg?articleid=1061139891&position=1

Are you ready for the latest incarnation of the Texas Con Man? Here he comes . . . Roger Clemens, Victim.

Hey, let’s not act as if everyone thought you were lying, Rog. Jose Canseco had your back the whole time. So did Koby, Kookie and Kobayashi.

“And my wife has been a rock behind us,” said a slobbering Clemens outside the courtroom after the verdict.

Of course she’s a rock, Rocket. You had your trainer/dealer shoot her up with HGH. Did you forget?
