Pretty soon every sports site will need a lawyer on the writing staff in order to explain the recent happenings among what we thought were just mere “games” at some point.

With the football season completed and the NBA not yet at its crescendo of all-out action (damn close, though, with all those trades!) we focus on baseball… sort of.

Here is the latest from Sports on The Hill, where our tax dollars are hard at work, battering pro ballplayers in an attempt to find out something along the lines of, “Who shot who in the what now?” –

• Roger Clemens is temporarily a lobbyist.
• Brian McNamee is baseball’s Frank Lucas.
• Andy Pettitte has the chance to either help or hurt Clemens… or so that’s what we’re told.

When, oh when, can we get back to swinging the bat and tossing the ball…?
