Even Non-Sports Fans Are Following Clemens' Saga

Roger Clemens was back on Capitol Hill today ..... pleading his case to members of Congress.
I didn't see him ....and my phone calls to Rusty Hardin ... have gone unanswered at this point(4PM Eastern). But the message that comes through loud and clear ... with The Rocket ... being back here today campaigning .... is that he is pressing onward with his case no matter what his friend, Andy Pettitte, said or didn't say.

The general feeling here in Washington DC .... is very similiar to the general feeling in Houston. Most people feel like Clemens is in trouble. We'll find out tomorrow. It continues to amaze me the interest in this "sports" story. The flight attendant on my plane this morning is a loyal Channel 11 viewer and she asked me why I was going to Baltimore. When I told her that I was just going to the regional airport there on my way to Washington D.C. .... she immediately knew why,"OOOOhh, that's going to be crazy with Roger and all that stuff!," she said. I said ... "Yes, I think it will be." That's the thing about this case ..... everyone wants to know what's going on ... not just the sports fans ....but the soap opera fans also.

To that end ....I'll be text blogging my fingers off tomorrow during the proceedings. As you may have seen earlier ... I did a test blog from the very room where the hearing will be held. So, I'm ready to roll. If you can't get to a TV set tomorrow ....just stay close to your computer and I'll provide the "blow by blow" action.
