Roger Clemens? Yawn.

Roger Clemens came out today in support of his long-shot dream to clear his name and have people remember him not as a steroids user, but as the pitcher who dominated the American League for the last 15 years of the 20^th century.

Quite honestly, and I'm sure many people feel this way, but I've had enough. I've had enough of hearing about Clemens' vehement denials of any wrongdoing.

I'm tired of hearing him talk about these conversations with Andy Pettite and how he "misremembered" these conversations.

I'm tired of seeing his smiling mug in an Astros or Yankees hat, and then hearing the words "Roger Clemens calls Roger McNamee a lying jerk with a personal vendetta and inadequacy issues".

I'm tired of hearing the ESPN types rail about how angry they are that Clemens continues to "deface the game" by issuing his denials, when all evidence points to the contrary in the situation.

I'm tired of all the holier-than-thou fans who are feeling completely lied to, and crying about it on talk radio stations and on blog sites all over the Internet.

I'm tired of all of it.

In my opinion, baseball has suffered irreparable harm from the steroid era, and by continuing to dredge up these situations, like Clemens, Bonds, and the like, we are merely taking more shovel-fulls of dirt from the grave of baseball and tossing them aside.

It is my fear that when our children look at this game, this game that we love, that they will not see the beauty of the game, but instead the dark cloud that currently hovers over it. I'm worried that we will no longer be able to look at baseball with the innocence that we did when we were children.
