Deadspin
Aren't you glad you knew that? Is your day not more enlightened than before? In a story found by Steroid Nation in the New York Times, trainer Brian McNamee goes into totally unnecessary detail about the aftereffects of injecting Clemens with steroids.
Something showed up on his bottom, and as you can imagine, it wasn't pretty:
Brian McNamee told federal authorities last summer that Roger Clemens developed an abscess on his buttocks about the same time that McNamee said he was giving him steroid injections during the 1998 season, according to a lawyer with knowledge of details of the case.As disgusting as that is, that doesn't really add any traction to McNamee's allegations if he has no proof of the abscess. So this really isn't much of a bombshell. Then you might be asking, "Why did you even mention it?" Because when you have a chance to burn into someone's memory a mental picture of an abscess on Roger Clemens's ass, you pretty much do it.

Let's not zoom in on the Rocket's ass please.
At this point, McNamee seems abcessed with Clemens.
@Crookednose: Sphincter? I hardly know 'er!
@1980DavidBowieFromTheMusicVideoAshesToAshes: Rectum? Damn near killed 'im!

These puns are so ass-inine.
Now we know where Drayton McLane's been living.

If the abcess is the glue(teus) that holds together McNamee's case, it won't stand up to much anal-ysis.
@Pennington Noodlearm Enthusiast: Butt what else is there to doo?
I couldn't do puns on my own. Thanks for the acysts.
Glad to be of assistance.
Ah, abscesses on the butt, the scourge of bloggers everywhere; [pilonidal.org] .
A-hem! Couldn't we just be talking about another kind of 'roid?
Financially, McNamee is going to be in arrears.
If the lawsuit goes through, McNamee will be in arrears, financially speaking.
If asterisks are put in the record books due to steroids, we're pretty much required to call them "asteroids", right?
@She Blinded Me With Violence: Showing a lot of cheek, aren't you?
@Looks like I picked the wrong day to quit sniffing glue: Butt of course. Comment cheekiness is the glute that holds this site together.
@She Blinded Me With Violence: Yes, to the maximus. I liked that crack you made. I felt some persanal growth after reading it.
Posts on this particular topic will live on in posteriority.
I always thought it was just a tattoo of the Whistler's Mother on his asscheek.
I was really hoping that we had put this story behind us...
A Sphincter says what?
I'm surprised that I Heart Poop hasn't commented here yet.
Can Abcesses be caused by John Marzano's Lips?
Some people think Roger Clemens IS a butt abscess.
The abscess had three saves for the Jays early in the '99 season, but arm trouble developed, and soon it was down to the minors. And the steroids didn't help... the mood swings... Jesus it was ugly. Good news is I heard the abscess was working steadily now selling insurance, but it was touch and go there for a while.
