Tom Boswell goes out on limbs. Those limbs break a lot.
The latest break: Yesterday's Boswell column, written after Day One of the Roger Clemens trial, predicted direness out the wazoo for the allegedly steroidal pitcher.
The lede:
When Roger Clemens walked into Courtroom 16 of the District’s federal courthouse Wednesday, he saw a long, wood-paneled room with [...]

The game started lousy for the eventual winners. At the end of the 1st period, with the Caps down 1-0 and [...]
