Why would or should Pettite lie? Anderson was a better friend to Clemens , than Clemens was to Anderson (if we ignore the obvious possibility of $$ being involved). Clemens has admittedly committed adultery, the ultimate betrayal of a friend; has turned on the friend that originally provided him the drugs, and has suggested that Pettite, has "misremembered". Whom is Clemens loyal to other than his own best interests?

 

Sorry, I may consider a lie to protect my wife or children, but never a friend considering the stakes. Misdeeds are quite often forgiven, lies

and cover-ups are not. Pertaining to this topic specifically, compare the perception of Pettite to that of Mark Maguire or Rafael Palmero.

Why would we ignore this? I think it's probably the #1 reason he didn't talk. Same reason Wee-Bey, D'Angelo, Chris, etc. took the time...

I guess that's the difference. I have friends I consider family.

Right or wrong that I kind of my thought process. They were best friends for a long time and yes if I HAD to lie under oath for my best friend I would strongly consider it.

 

What kind of friend puts his best friend in the spot of lieing under oath? Roger isn't much of a man and is much less of a friend if he doesn't own up to the truth and puts Pettite in the position of wanting him to lie.

I do too but none I consider on the same level as my wife or kids.

As do I. We have taken bullets for each other in many respects, but never would they or I expect anything such as this. Would you jeopardize

your ability to protect or provide for your family, by lying for a friend? If so, then we do differ and I respect your loyalty but question that decision.

Incidentally, I doubt that Clemens or Pettite consider each other friends at this point.

 

Formerkywrestler, I only state that ignoring the money question for the sake of this discussion. I said that tongue-in-cheek in reference to the extent of how Roger has managed his relationships with key people in his life. I doubt Anderson took the time out of friendship to Roger.

Andy Pettite is a.....

Greg Anderson was friends with Barry Bonds and did jail time multiple times for him because he wouldn't testify against him. Brian McNamara might be the guy you are thinking of. He is the one who claims to have injected Clemens and Pettite.

 

I definitely wonder if they are still friends(Pettite and Clemens). They were the best of friends for a long time.

This is what makes me go hmmmm......I wonder what the perception of Andy will be by baseball players. It is obvious most folks on here support him. I wonder how players feel.
