Just wondering, I know there's a chance neither will get convicted or Roger may not even go to trial. Im just sitting back and enjoying it all.
Baroid Bonds
Roger HGH Clemens

By the time any conviction (if any) happens, the pardon might have to come from President Obama, President Clinton II or President McCain.
That being said, I cannot vote b/c I lean towards NO PARDON.
No Pardon
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
I almost find all of this comical in a way... don't get me wrong, I despise Clemens and Bonds for the way they mocked the game. It's a disgrace. But Congress is wasting it's time in my opinion. They're never going to find out all that they need to find out, and most of the congressman asking questions are a joke anyways.
I hate to say this, but it's a witch hunt. Bonds and Clemens are being driven to the guillotine with stakes, while there is no threat of Selig, Fehr, or Glenallen freakin Hill going to prison, for that matter.
The entire game of baseball, from Selig on down is responsible for this. Everyone knew about it, but the soaring attendance figures and booming TV ratings resulted in everyone ignoring the massive and growing problem.
If you ask me the entire game of baseball should be indicted for perjury.
Thanks for allowing me to vent . If I have to see anymore Clemens or Bonds news, I'm going to get sick.

Don't mess with Texas.
A pardon for sports players? no way.
Go Gators!
IF a player were to be pardoned and IF it were by Bush, I'd be inclined to say it would be Roger due to the Texas connection. Remember when Bush defended Rafael Palmeiro after he failed a steroids test??

Yes, I believe the president has that power, but I will be very surprised if he uses it in this instance. Yes, presidents have been known to make questionable use of their pardon power, especially as they are about to leave office, but what is the defensible rationale for pardoning Clemens and not Bonds?
I've been surprised this thread has stayed open as long as it has....but here goes: To pardon Clemens and not Bonds would appear to be both politically motivated at best and racist at worse. Presidents have certainly done some stupid and arrogant things as they are packing their bags in their final days in office, but chosing Clemens over Bonds is like picking the better cow pattie-both stink and either one will get you dirty. I'll be surprised and disappointed if either one is pardoned.
