With the upper deck almost entirely empty — we know how this goes — one dastardly fan decided to try to construct a word out o...

It's Important That You Remember That Roger Clemens Is Your Savior
Last week, Curt Schilling was accused of self-aggrandizing ego worship for supposedly painting blood on his sock, or whatever it was.
