"No Hitter"

http://content.usatoday.com/communities/dailypitch/post/2012/06/roger-clemens-verdict/1#.T9-XRhc192C

Roger Clemons was found not guilty in his perjury trial in Washington, D.C., stemming from his testimony given to Congress in 2008 about using steroids.  Of course, in the official court documents, the words “Not guilty” will be followed by an asterisk.

When the verdict was read, spectators saw Clemons hug family members.  Had he been found guilty, they would have seen ‘roid rage.

Prosecutors really expected a conviction, so Clemons acquittal really threw them a curve.

Because Clemons was a pitcher, he was worried about the government’s “3 strikes” rule.

The government has been upset since the original steroids trials, because without a multi-million-dollar contract, Clemons wasn’t willing to play ball.

The New York Times is trying to sell its stake in the Boston Red Sox.  They explained that red clashes with their yellow journalism.

“Sidewalk for Walking?”

Boston is trying to pass a law to block the use of Segway vehicles from sidewalks.  Being careful not to discriminate against the Segway riders themselves, however, all sidewalks would still be open to rich douche bags on foot.

The law is intended to protect pedestrians, but hopefully, Segways will just crash into each other.

“Sarah Palin’s Ride”

On her bus tour stop in Boston Thursday, Sarah Palin mixed up facts about Paul Revere’s famous ride.  For starters, he did not ride a moose.

Second, he was not hunting from a helicopter.
