Wait, aren't you going to get your Yankee fanship revoked for that?

He's an Astro now.

It's still better than when he was a headhunting Red Sox, but still.

he wasn't ever really a yankee to me. more like a mercenary.

[Homerpalooza]

Sweet. Now Yankees fans and Red Sox fans can unite. In hating Roger Clemens.

Seriously, he's a complete ass. One of the funniest "articles" I've read in a while is ESPN's Bill Simmons' rant about why Roger Clemens is the Anti-Christ. It's pretty dated and told from a Red Sox point of view, but it still holds true.

Ha. This is pretty much the point Simmons makes in how Yanks fans have always viewed Clemens.

[Ensoul]

I am not worried about the Yankees. They have a good team this year.

Anyways, I have lost all respect for Clemens. You even get Boston fans to cheer a Yankees player loudly because they think he is retiring. George is pissed off and he has a right to be.

You don't do this, if you want off the team just say so and join Houston. Don't be a fucking coward you hick.

You could tell he didn't want to retire. Is he only going to pitch home games?

Wish my white sox do good this year. They only got worse this offseason.

sadly, i have to agree with that. i mean, we already lost Colon, Graffanino, Everett, and probably sometime soon, Robbie Alomar(if it hasn't already happened). looks like i'll probably be rooting for the Red Sox, A's, Angels, and Astros in '04. i also have a bad feeling that the '04 Expos won't be as good, now that Guerrero is gone.

hey, at least he no longer can hide behind the protection of the stupid DH rule anymore(which i still think should be eliminated from the AL, myself). for me, i think it'll be very interesting to see how many pitchers headhunt for clemens, now that he's in the NL.

"They're cheering him now, but you always get the sense that they're wary of him, that they would turn on him in the drop of a hat" summed up my feelings about him pretty well. he never could dissolve into one of 25 men in yankees uniform, (or any uniform for that matter); instead there's always his fat head looming like a big neon sign screaming CLEMENS CLEMENS CLEMENS. or something.

my favorite clemens related reads:

Katy, TX -- Coming off a week which saw him involved in an intentional beaning controversy–this one surrounding his premeditated targeting of San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds–fiery New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens found himself embroiled in yet another beaning incident after he reportedly hurled a Tater Tot® potato snack treat at his own son.


Let the ingrates go, I decided. Let them go pitch in that launching pad of a ballpark, without Mariano to bail them out. Let the Astros cater Clemens's next half-dozen retirement ceremonies.
(alright, so maybe it's just that one line..)

and sometimes, just sometimes, i have to love the Post:

pettitte leaving hurt. wells leaving annoyed me but didn't really surprise me. weaver being banished to LA filled me with joy. texas can have nellie and his pederast stache. clemens i don't care about, and in a way i don't blame him because i wouldnt want to be home all day with that scary wife of his either.

anyway. like scouse_dave said in some other thread: the club is bigger than its players. mhm.

[Nimrod]

You also know there's something wrong with a man (not to mention a wife) that thinks, well, I strike out a lot of batters. Strikeouts are called "K"s. Maybe I should name all of my kids names that begin with K.. or rather, to make my point more obvious, names that normally don't begin with K that I will make start with K, or I will just make up names from scratch. Yep, it's all about me, Mr. K, Mr. Strikeout, Mr. Rocket.

Actually, I think Clemens is bigger than a lot of teams.

he IS pretty fat.

speaking of fat - did you hear what your boyfriend boomer apparently had to say? he looks forward to batting against him in the nl and he wouldn't pull a piazza but charge the mound. i would LOVE to see that.

He's not my boyfriend, our love is platonic

Where did you read that? I read the Post and Daily News this morning, and didn't see it.

Oh and if you read Boomer's book, you'd see that the one guy he does take to task in the whole book is Roger - no love lost.

Ok, I think that's all taken out of context. In his book Wells said he didn't understand why Piazza just stood there and that if it had happened to him he would charge the mound.

Those are old comments.

I don't think he is. Who else will get on the bikes with Andy every morning and tell him how great his ass looks?

[2Marlon2Brando]

Maybe I will meet him in a grocery store in Katy.

I will ask him to post on Netphoria.

If that's his address, he lives 0.93 miles from my old house.

From where my parents live now, it is 5.32 miles.

I now have a new yard to tear up with my truck when I am drunk. Or I could just knock over his mailbox.

Not that I dislike him, it is just a boring town.

Is his wife hot?
