House Delays Clemens Hearings

Roger* will have some more time to get his story figured out before he has to testify on Capitol Hill. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform has moved the hearings from Jan. 16 until Feb. 13 so they have more time to prepare. There is still a hearing January for Donald Fehr and Bud Selig to get a grilling from some lawmakers about their lack of attention to performance enhancing drugs in baseball. Congress can take away MLB's legal monopoly but there is little chance of that. There will be some grandstanding by lawmakers and some defensive answers from Donald and Bud but not much more in the first hearings. The second hearings will be much more interesting because both McNamee and Clemens will be under oath. If both stick to their story someone will be committing perjury and Congress may take some punitive action.
