Hall of Fame baseball analyst Peter Gammons joined Mut & Merloni Thursday to talk about the Roger Clemens mistrial, the All-Star Game and the latest with the Red Sox.
He said he is surprised with Thursday’s developments that the trial has been declared a mistrial. ?“I think it was a major surprise,” Gammons said. “A friend of mine who had been covering it, sent me an email saying the prosecution just blew its self up. They did a terrible job with it. It’s amazing. Rusty Hardin didn’t even need to pull the guns out, he was ready to go after Andy Pettitte and all sorts of people.”
Added Gammons: “A lot of people seeing Clemens and [Barry] Bonds get hung on all this, but just go ‘alright enough is enough lets move on.’ I sense that they had done that in San Francisco. I thought this trial would be a solaces and vicious trial. The fact that they were bringing Pettitte into it and the fact the prosecutors screwed it up on day one. You would laugh if they didn’t realize how much money they spent on this.”
