]]> <![CDATA[Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now]]> @Chad Sexington: .... after almost single-handedly making sure the Yankees didn't even reach that series by racking up 10 runs, 13 hits, and 8 walks in 11 innings over two starts vs. Oakland.

Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

]]> <![CDATA[Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now]]> He also knocked A-Rod on his ass twice and dominated Seattle in a one-hit 15 K shutout in 2000 playoffs... So lets not get carried away.

Chad Sexington

]]> <![CDATA[Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now]]> Funny, when I heard Clemens came out after 2.1 innings I felt like he had done this in the post season a few times before, and sure enough he had. Hall of Famer? Definitely. One of the greatest pitchers of all time? Absolutely. Gigantic prick and narcissistic douche bag? No doubt.

Crookednose

]]> <![CDATA[Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now]]> @Dave Ryan: Yeah, I was surprised when I looked up his post-season numbers for that. They're definitely not mind-juggling. And then you've got somebody like Schilling who, while apart from being an annoying self-aggrandizer, has a solid career line: 220-something-ish wins, a Cy Young, yadda yadda yadda - but has been money in the post-season.

Amen...at least until some other half-bright chucklehead (Tom Hicks) lays out yet money long green for a season that most rookies would snub. Good riddance to white trash.

]]> <![CDATA[Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now]]> if clemens at 45 can still get $22m a year to walk his fat ass out to the mound once every 5 days, i gotta think that nolan ryan at 60 is still worth maybe $15m a year. and he probably throws harder than curt schilling at this point.

]]> <![CDATA[Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now]]> @Phony Gwynn: I can tell you that when The TCM was with the Sox, he never rose to the occasion in the playoffs. If Roger had shown up and been Roger, instead of just a very good but not great kind of starter, in 1986, the Hendu HR and Buckner never would have happened. Instead, Bruce Hurst had to carry the team single-handedly.

His entire career has been like that -- he pitches well in the post-season, but not HOF-level well, and seems to bail out with "injuries" when the going gets rough.

A Pimp Named DaveR

]]> <![CDATA[Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now]]> Lest we forget, he pulled a similar stunt in Game 1 of the 2005 World Series as a member of the Astros.

He lasted only two inning and came out with a "strained hamstring" after getting whacked around by the Chi Sox.

]]> <![CDATA[Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now]]> Whether he was hurt, or faking it, or whatever, during those last couple batters last night he definitely looked like he'd rather be anywhere else than on a pitchers mound. Really, he had the face of one of those kids in the spelling bee who just has no idea how to spell the word he was given--sweating, looking around, staring blankly, stalling. I actually kind of felt sorry for him.

]]> <![CDATA[Roger Clemens Is Ready To Go Home Now]]> The thing that irks me about Roger's cell phone ad is that he is remarkably amusing, but Debbie could've made her end of the "conversation" so much funnier. She's so stiff. Making jazz hands and pursing your lips and saying "no" over and over again isn't funny.

Oh, this isn't a media criticism blog? My bad.

@Tuffy: At least Cybill was somewhat attractive once, although you'd have to go back to the mid-70s to find it
