Pettitte apologizes in live conference, sidesteps several questions
Andy Pettitte held a live press conference Monday to once again apologize for taking HGH and to allow the “truth to set him free.”
In the conference, Pettitte went status quo on several subjects, including how he doesn’t want kids to use performance-enhancing drugs, as well as how he’s only human and he made a mistake.
During the Q&A portion of the conference, several reporters attempted to ask Pettitte about Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee’s congressional hearing and more specifically, about Clemens’ comments about how Pettitte “misremembered” their conversation about taking HGH. Pettitte dodged the questions, saying, “he’s not going to go there” as well as sidestepping questions about whether or not he’s a cheater.
I’ll say again for the record: Andy Pettitte seems like the only one being completely honest. Although, he did seem to play dumb on several questions and there wasn’t much point for him to hold another press conference in attempts to clear his name once again.
I don’t think that Petite is a bad guy….but I think his “best friend” put him in a bad spot and it’s one that most guys would have done the samething.
I like all of these goody two shoes coming out of the woodwork now saying they wouldn’t have lied. Horseshit, I say….90 out of 100 of most guys would have done the same thing
Blame Selig for allowing this to happen under his watch..This is the guy that should get fired…he let it happen. I don’t understand why Congress doesn’t have him removed?
Selig should be sending these players thank you notes for thaking the heat off him.
TB is right – The Slug should be fired. But there is still a question to be asked. What does MLB do to Pettitte ? Anything ?
Andy seems like a good guy – But how does he say – he didn’t do it to gain an advantage ? Isn’t healing faster an advantage ? He gets the juice sent to his father’s house instead of his own ? Thanks Dad.
Is there a penalty for this ? OR was this whole list of the Mitchell Report designed to just show a list ? What good is that ?
