Alyssa Milano, actress, pinup, and baseball devotee extraordinaire, finally got around to posting on her MLB blog again. While I began to grow restless with her editoral ramping towards an Obama endorsement (which she gives), I love that she opened with a Yogi Berra malapropism.
At least there are some things in this world that we can still count on. Baseball, despite the scandals, is one of them. And on that note, Congress wants the Justice Department to investigate whether Roger Clemens purjored himself before a House Committee.
Okay, what that means is this. Congress wants a third party to confirm whether or not a baseball player was lying to them. Cuz...they can't figure it out for themselves.
Your tax dollars at work.
How's this? Clemens gets two choices. He gives up his salary for each of the "steroid" years in question to charities that promote baseball among disadvantaged youth (and, while we're at it, schools in economically depressed areas where sports programs are under or un-funded). He doesn't get the Hall of Fame but he gets his good name back, redemption and a chance to sit beside Joe Buck and Tim McCarver and call the World Series games.
Or he can just go away, period.
