How to Buy a Rocket:
• On days Roger pitches, all his teammates will change their names to ones that begin with the letter K.
• Roger is required only to pitch at home, which is defined as the backyard of his house.
• Roger also reserves the right to go into Minute Maid Park wearing a Yankees cap...
I needed a good laugh today, thanks gary, justgary.

Roger will be paid his weight in gold bullion and sapphires. Now we're talking.

Now that his 50 game suspension is done he can finally get back to pitching. Oh, you didn't know about the failed drug test? AAAHHH, These are not the droids you are looking for. You may go.

That might just be the funniest thing I've seen on ESPN.com since the Good Doctor checked out.

Do you suppose that the commissioner would keep it a secret from all of the other teams and let them attempt to negotiate with Clemens, only to pull the rug out from under them at the last moment if they came close to signing a deal? It stops being a secret if too many people know about it.

I know he is good but come on is he that good? No one player should have that many perks. If there are going to pay him to play then he should just play like the rest of the team and stop with the madness.

• The Astros will fly in Anna Benson for Roger's scheduled starts so she can flash her breasts for luck when he leaves the bulllpen. Utter hilarity.

I'm with you mr_crash_davis, I kept waiting to get to the bottom of the page and see Skip Bailess' name there.

That was the funniest thing I've seen on here in a while. What a great article. I've said in other posts that Clemens is arguably the most arrogant athlete in all of sports. This article plays to that completely. I love the part that he gets to switch teams each inning based on who's winning the game. Absolutely priceless.

No, seansterps, you mean these are not the roids you're looking for. I'll get my coat.
