Chuck Knoblauch gets to join his former teammates Andy Pettitte and Roger Clemens this weekend in testifying before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and they're not just asking nicely anymore. Apparently, Knoblauch was asked nicely to give a deposition this Thursday and failed to respond. You know what happens next: he got served (with a subpoena). From MLB.com:

"The committee has taken this step because Mr. Knoblauch failed to respond to the invitation to participate voluntarily in a deposition or transcribed interview and the Feb. 13 hearing," committee chairman Henry Waxman and ranking Republican Tom Davis said in a statement Tuesday.

Knoblauch's best years came in Minnesota, well before he was alleged to have linked up with McNamee and started 'roiding up. I am looking forward to this deposition. Still, the Waxman isn't screwing around with this one if they're breaking out the subpoenas. I'm sure he's dying to know what happened when Knoblauch exploded from 24 total errors at second base in '97 and '98 to a whopping 26 in 1999 and 15 more in 2000. That's an awfully suspicious leap right there. Keith Olbermann's mom will finally be vindicated!!!
