What is he saying?

Edit: sorry to ask annoying questions, I don't have access to TV right now.

Ksyrup · 03-17-2005, 02:40 PM

Why isn't this on cspan.org?

rkmsuf · 03-17-2005, 02:41 PM

McGwire will a b*tchslap to Canseco.

I wonder what the ratings on that hearing are gonna be. Have to be pretty big even though its up against the tournament.

KWhit · 03-17-2005, 02:44 PM

McGwire said that there has been a problem with steroids in baseball. He refuses to name names or implicate others, but would support tougher testing measures. He then refused to answer questions on the advice of his lawyers.

And he took a couple of shots at Canseco.

rkmsuf · 03-17-2005, 02:44 PM

Palmero, slight note...when addressing the chairman it's wise not to keep pointing at him.

KWhit · 03-17-2005, 02:44 PM

Palmeiro denies using steroids.

KWhit · 03-17-2005, 02:45 PM

BTW, McGwire did not deny using steroids. He sort of side-stepped that issue.

KWhit · 03-17-2005, 02:49 PM

Schilling is killing Conseco right now.

rkmsuf · 03-17-2005, 02:50 PM

That whole table has taken shots at poor Jose.

Schilling is giving him a verbal beatdown.

I watched this morning without a problem, but now all I get is a screen with the CSPAN logo on it. Very odd.

rkmsuf · 03-17-2005, 02:56 PM

go to cspan.org home page. click watch. I clicked stand alone windows media under cspan3 on the right hand side.

rkmsuf · 03-17-2005, 02:57 PM

questions start at 3:15 eastern.

Cool. Thanks Farrah!

Ksyrup · 03-17-2005, 02:58 PM

I see that now (just in time for a break). This morning I just had the in-page screen going so I could listen. Thanks.

wbatl1 · 03-17-2005, 02:59 PM

Are the players finished now? I cannot tell from my feed.

I think they're on a 20 minute break.

Suicane75 · 03-17-2005, 03:00 PM

So McGwire didn't nut up and say he had never used steroids? Just a few weeks ago he did, what happened? Heh.

Sure does make one wonder, doesn't it?

rkmsuf · 03-17-2005, 03:22 PM

Don't they eat lunch in Congress? No lunch break.

bosshogg23 · 03-17-2005, 03:24 PM

They work 2 days a week for 3 months a year.

They dont need no stinkin' lunch break.

The House is adjorning for Easter break in two hours , they're probably rushing through so they can get out of there..

Danny · 03-17-2005, 03:27 PM

I've watched the whole thing so far while flipping to the NCAA during breaks.

They've gotta be staying longer than that, they still have so many people and questions to go thru.

rkmsuf · 03-17-2005, 03:30 PM

What are they voting on? Resolutions regarding off track betting in the Hymalyas or something?

That is the House, not the committee. So the members of the comittee are voting, trying to finish the buisness in the House, but will also finish their committee work.

sterlingice · 03-17-2005, 03:30 PM

Where are you guys watching this? CSpan and CSpan2 has budget things and CourtTV is wasting their time on Scott Pederson (has there even been a more worthless high profile case).

SI

Suicane75 · 03-17-2005, 03:31 PM

ESPN, amd M&TMD on Yes are listening to the audio while on the air.

Celeval · 03-17-2005, 03:31 PM

CSPAN-3 has it. I'm watching on cspan.org

CHEMICAL SOLDIER · 03-17-2005, 04:40 PM

Seems like the players are side stepping the questions.

Eaglesfan27 · 03-17-2005, 04:47 PM

McGwire is side stepping the most. I'm disappointed in him.

Ksyrup · 03-17-2005, 04:48 PM

Holy crap is McGwire coming off bad. I don't know who advised him, but he could have sidestepped all of these questions and not come off like he's got a syringe stuck in his butt.

"Steroids is bad, m'kay?"

NAIWF · 03-17-2005, 04:49 PM

Nice to see McGwire finally get what he's deserved all along. Other than that, this whole hearing has been bogus, and a waste of time. Hopefully Selig & Fehr actually have something to say.

rexallllsc · 03-17-2005, 04:50 PM

A couple of the members were really embarrassing. The chick from Michigan comes to mind.

Also, they showed an old clip of Maxine Waters (D-CA) questioning Selig, and after he was talking, she said thrice, "I remind you that you're under oath!" which was really strange, and puzzled Bud because more than anything, it sounded like she just wanted to say that as if she were playing a part in "A Few Good Men"

Anyways, the interesting part to me was the review with the guy who works with the World Anti-Doping Agency. If Baseball wants to take this seriously, they should handle this like soccer does (I think?). Take two guys (randomly) right after the game and watch them piss. Maybe one of our overseas friends can correct me if I'm wrong.

Maxine Waters is an idiot.

KWhit · 03-17-2005, 04:56 PM

Sosa just agrees with whatever is said before him.

KWhit · 03-17-2005, 04:58 PM

And is it me or is Canseco coming off the best of anyone (with the possible exception of Schilling)?

I think Rafael is coming off reasonably well.

Ryan S · 03-17-2005, 05:04 PM

Canseco is using this as a promotional appearance for his book.

stevew · 03-17-2005, 05:12 PM

Schilling just called Canseco a liar.

sterlingice · 03-17-2005, 05:14 PM

"How much?"
"I dunno"
"I dunno"
"I dunno"
"I dunno"
"I dunno"
"I dunno"
"Buy my book"

SI

sterlingice · 03-17-2005, 05:18 PM

I do agree with Conseco, tho. If you let baseball police itself, we'll be back in the same place a year from now. But there won't be the media attention.

SI

KWhit · 03-17-2005, 05:21 PM

Canseco is definitely playing the "everybody thank me for bringing this issue into the light" card.

Ryan S · 03-17-2005, 05:22 PM

Is it just me, or is Kucinich using this as an opportunity for a publicised rant.
