Roger Clemens Admits Nothing, Apologizes Anyway

Monday, May 5th, 2008

I’ll say this for Roger Clemens — he must’ve went to the Oliver North school of denial because even when the world seems to be out to get him, Roger maintains his innocence with an “I admit nothing” zeal.
Although, he’s now apologizing for all this nothing. In a statement released to the Houston Chronicle, […]

Did McCready Out Clemens?

Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

By now, you’ve all heard about the Mindy McCready/Roger Clemens hubbub (guys do it all the time, folks) and McCready’s subsequent admittance of the relationship, however, what we haven’t heard about is who leaked this “information” to the New York Daily News. If you remember, in their first article, the Daily News credited sources […]

Roger Clemens = Munsoned

Monday, April 28th, 2008

The Urban Dictionary defines Munsoned as — To have the whole world in the palm of your hand and then piss it all away.
Funny, that sounds exactly what’s been happening with Roger Clemens, no matter how much he maintains his innocence. Apparently, ESPN is thinking the same thing and thanks to the Mindy McCready […]

Dude, She’s 15

Monday, April 28th, 2008

Apparently, there was some additional meaning behind Mindy McCready’s song “Guys Do It All The Time.” Perhaps she was specifically referring to Roger Clemens, MLB mistresses and 10-year relationships that began when the subject was 15 — at least according to ESPN, the New York Daily News and now the sports blogosphere.
In case you […]

It’s All About the Anti-Trust… And the Kids

Thursday, February 14th, 2008

Over at the New York Nerd, it was asked why is Congress spending (wasting?) time with Major League Baseball, implying that this time could be better spent on more productive matters. The author also asked for a discussion and that’s what this little post is.

Misremembering With Roger Clemens

Wednesday, February 13th, 2008

I’ve been thinking about how to do this wrap-up concerning the MLB/Congressional joy thrust upon us this morning: should I review what I learned or should I state where I stand after hearing what both sides had to say or should I say something about this hearing turned into a “toe the party line” exhibition?
