It's definitely looking like New York Yankees starting pitcher Andy Pettitte did not mishear when his baseball ex-best friend Rogers Clemens told him he took HGH.

Clemens was indicted on Thursday afternoon by a federal grand jury on six counts. Clemens now will face charges of obstruction of Congress, making false statements and perjury. You can check out the charges for yourself in the Roger Clemens Indictment.

The main reason for the indictment is the testimony of Clemen's former personal trainer Brian McNamee. Clemens testified that he didn't use steroids or HGH while McNamee countered that Clemens had in fact used them while testifying in front of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform back in 2008.

Clemens now faces up to 30 years in prison on the six counts (five years for each count).

Barry Bonds will be starting his trial in March of 2011 on perjury charges. Maybe if they both are found guilty, they can be sent to the same federal prison and get a game going in the prison yard.

And if they did do steroids and head to prison, they might just get a little more than a needle in their butts.

While the injury suffered by Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Carl Crawford isn't funny at all, I did get quite a chuckle when going through my RSS feeds from Rotoworld.

And if you missed Crawford talking one to the family jewels, here's the video:

New York Yankees owner George Steinbrenner passed away at the age of 80 on Tuesday after suffering a massive heart attack at his home in Tampa, FL.

Steinbrenner may not have been the most liked person here in Red Sox Nation but he commanded a respect like none other. He brought the rivalry between the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox back to the forefront engaging in many different types of battles. He did so much for the game and the cities of Tampa and New York that it would take forever to list.

So whether you like or hate Steinbrenner, today is a sad day in the world of baseball

Our condolences go out to his family, friends, the entire Yankees organization and Yankees fans on their loss. The Big Stein will be greatly missed.
