Rice alum and hometown hero Lance Berkman read the Mitchell Report. (Just like everyone else, it seems, on the planet.) He applauds Andy Pettite for coming forward and spoke Sunday about his support for the former Houston Astro, reports the Chronicle, but he's ready for some answers from the Mitchell report's biggest name: Roger Clemens.
I don't think it's good enough to make a blanket statement and say the guy's lying. Now that Andy's come out, that certainly puts a little more pressure to come out and make a more detailed statementsaid Berkman in a Sunday press conference in which he also expressed concerns about the clubhouse chemistry of the new Astros team.
Meanwhile, Curt Schilling thinks Clemens should give back his Cy Young(s), Congress probably wants to talk to him, and reporters are blasting him for not defending his reputation convincingly enough, though he did make a blanket denial statement in the past 48 hours. The Astros, though, say they'll honor Clemens' personal services contract.
Keep an eye here for more developments as they come: Houstonist guesses every hometown star has gotta fall sometime.

Finally, after gritting my teeth through three years of this jackass, I can come forward with my hate of the Rocket.
My name is Rob Hays, and I hate Roger Clemens! WOOOOO!
Well, on Wednesday, I had the privillage of attending Rocket's X-Mas/Koby's 21st bday party at his house and he was in a really good mood. I've been a fan of the Rocket for awhile and this is the third time I've been able to meet him and he is a stand up guy. If he says he didn't do it, then I believe him. My name is Ignacio Salazar and I support the Rocket!
