Right before the MLB Hall of Fame announcement was made yesterday, Roy Halladay took to twitter to say that Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds shouldn’t be given the honor:

When you use PEDs you admit your not good enough to compete fairly! Our nations past time should have higher standards! No Clemens no Bonds!

Clemens wasn’t so happy with Halladay’s assertion that he definitely used PEDs, and he responded:

“I was asked to comment on the subject of the Hall of Fame once again by some of my friends in the media. I will say thank you again for those who took the time to vote. I have distanced myself from the subject and have moved on. Having said that, what is disheartening is getting a call or a text from family or friends about an ill informed player making an asinine statement. The latest coming from a former Blue Jays pitcher.

Just to enlighten him, he was accused of using amphetamines by the ‘strength coach.’ You should be very careful when putting tweets out while not having your facts on the matter at hand.”

Clemens never tested positive, but he was named in the Mitchell Report. As a former teammate (and member of the pitcher fraternity), Roy might have some inside info… and so, too, might Clemens. So this could get ugly. But for now, Roy wins:

If he was a bit more adept at twitter, he may have used the Kermit “That’s none of my business though” meme there, but I don’t know if I’m ready for Roy Halladay, meme user.
