Roger and Me: Why I hate the greatest pitcher of all time.

Wow. It's like he reached in and said what I was thinking (and a few things I didn't realize I was thinking, but come to think of it, I guess I was). He's a fat self-centered ass. PS: What's up with the Debbie Clemens link? Who does she think she is (and who cares)?

Y'all just be playa-hatin'. Roger's got game.

She reminds me of Kathy Lee Gifford. Hopefully, she won't (or will?) suffer the same fate. Not only are the links on her site marked by diamonds, but butterflies chase my cursor as I move it around the screen. She seems as self absorbed as the Rocket is. NoMich, I can't thank you enough for this link. It's stuff like this that actually makes me glad I am just a regular joe punching the clock every day.

I am standing up in my chair and applauding Seth Stevenson, loudly. His greatest achievement, for me at least, is not all those ultimately meaningless strikeouts, nor the twenty-seven Cy Youngs he got pitching for teams that were good but might have been great had he shown up when the chips were really down. His greatest athletic achievement? Being able to change uniforms so many times in his career without ever once removing his head from his own ass.

Being able to change uniforms so many times in his career without ever once removing his head from his own ass. Thank you for that. My favorite Debbie Clemens moment was after Pedro and the Sox torched Clemens in the one game they won in (I think) the 1999 ALCS. She said she was glad the Sox never won given how their fans act. Apparently the reprobates all showed up after Rajah left. Or maybe she never wanted the team to win when he was in Boston either.

Apparently the reprobates all showed up after Rajah left Painfully unclear. What I meant was you'd think there were no asshole Boston fans before 1996.

Y'all just be playa-hatin'. Roger's got game. That's the beauty of it. There's no denying his talent or 'game' in the article. After all, he calls him the greatest pitcher of all time. It's more about the 'man', than the player. It's like the writer was reading my mind with this article. Everything I've thought when it comes to clemens is there. I consider it an early christmas gift.

Well, I thought it was sad. (not the article, the game...I tuned in right when the ass-whuppin' was really getting started, watched for a bit, and signed off after Sori hit that blast. It was too sad.)

A funny conspiracy theory making the rounds is that piazza was tipping the batters to the pitches... "Alright Sori, here comes a fastball."

Ahh, good old Crash Davis. I was hoping Piazza was doing that, but figured the ump would have said something.

As somebody who hates the Red Sox and Yankees with equal passion, thus I having no bias either way when it comes to Roger "wicked fat" Clemens, that was a funny article. Step away from the Paint Shop Pro, lady!
