I've only read the news accounts, but it sounds like today's hearings were a first-class farce. McGwire apparently kept repeating that he "wasn't there to talk about the past," which, of course, was the only reason why he was there. Sosa declared that he never injected himself with anything (but then again neither did Giambi/Bonds, who merely ingested the Clear and rubbed the Cream). Bud apparently tsk-tsk'ed repeatedly and convinced no one that the situation was under control. The Congressmen appeared to be the adults in the room, which may be the real story of the day.
And, of course, now it's clear why Bonds wasn't there. As in the case of Giambi, the Justice Department must have asked Congress to lay off so as not to affect an ongoing investigation.
Anybody have anything to add?
