A Former Yankee Hero Suffers Existential Crisis at His Waterlogged House in Texas During Emotional Stadium Ceremony
Roger Clemens lets out a heavy sigh and struggles to keep the tears from glistening on his face . He sits in his spacious home in a hurricane-ravaged area of Texas, watching the final game at Yankee Stadium, hoping his years of pin-striped service are recognized. But what of the other sinners? Knoblauch? Pettitte? Giambi? All mentioned. All cheered. Not Roger, though. He's a true pariah, he thought. The wife and mother-in-law squeeze the sad man's large hand, as he anxiously watches, waiting for something — anything — from the Yankee organization that has seemingly forgotten him. They're saving me until last, he thinks. Maybe they'll surprise me with a phone call and let me say goodbye to the Bronx one last time? He pictured it: his voice over the loudspeaker shaking the old concrete stadium, the noisy, appreciative crowd drowning out most of his speech. "We still love you Rah-ger!", a little girl shouts from the upper deck. He waits. No phone call. Where is Suzyn Waldman now? Suzyn? Are you there? More » -

Koby Clemens Proves His Worthiness As Rightful Heir To Dushbag Throne
Koby Clemens, the squatty-looking 21-year-old catcher and son of Roger Clemens found himself in a little bit of legal trouble over the weekend when he and two of his minor league teammates were arrested after a disturbance outside of Mac and Bob's ("Best Salem area Restaurant 2004" ) early Sunday morning. Clemens, plus Mark Ori and Jimmy Goethals of the single-A Salem Avalanche (part of the Astros' minor league system) were briefly placed in a Roanoke County jail and charged with disorderly conduct (Goethals was also slapped with assault and battery) after police were called to the parking lot of the family restaurant. The details about "the disturbance" are vague and the Astros are holding off on disciplinary action against the players until after their court date, which is scheduled for today. More » -

The Dushbag Chronicles: The Legitimacy Of Debbie Clemens' Body Still Being Scrutinized
Roger Clemens' Brian McNamee-is-lyin' defense took another hit yesterday, when noted roid-pusher and former Mets' clubhouse attendant Kirk Radomski told the Feds he had sent HGH samples to the Clemens' home in Texas and he's got the receipts to prove it. Does this help prove that Roger Clemens is a fraudulent chemically-enhanced monster? No. Actually, the date of the shipments (2002 and 2003) coincides with the time Debbie Clemens was creating her ripply SI swimsuit body. (Impostor!) More » -
