Roger, Part III
Forgive me for my amplitude of Roger posts, but he just keeps feeding me lines to enforce my negativity towards him. He's basically pleading with me to bash him. In an attempt to rationalize his narcisism, Clemens explained that "From what I understand, all three teams want to see where they are as far as their rotation ... and how their pitching lines up." Because, you know, it's easier to do that when you're not sure whether or not Roger will be part of your rotation. That simplifies the process a ton, right, Roger? But, as he reiterates, "Not a one of them wanted an April or May [deal] anyways." How ludacris. That would actually allow them to get a grasp on their ENTIRE pitching rotation rather than four starters and a question mark. Newsflash, Rog. Despite what goes on in that vain little head of yours, not everyone's just going to wait around for you. There ARE other pitchers out there, pitchers who start the season on time, pitchers who have to battle for a spot in the rotation, pitchers who work their butts off during the winter to be in great shape when the season starts. But maybe I'm forgetting how hard Roger's life really is. How hard he works. How much he has to endure. Suddenly on a woe-is-me tangent, he explains that "the thing that's been misconstrued quite a bit is that I have a deal in Houston where I pitch and then don't show up." Where would anyone get that crazy idea? Huh? Maybe from, um, evidence that it's true? Honestly, you play a game for a living and you make millions for a fraction of a season. You only play every five days, and you aren't even with the team when you're not pitching. I couldn't think of a more ideal lifestyle. And you're just SO beloved that you "ended up with some 50 odd-some people outside my gate begging me to play." Isn't that lovely. He really does think that the whole world is ready to bow down to him.
Roger Clemens makes me sick. He gets pleasure out of it. I could practically prove that everything he says is designed to disgust me personally.

Julie: I think the reason Roger wanst to see how the 3 teams fare because he is not going to back the losing horse--he is going to go to the team that has the best chance of going all the way--Mercenary Roger is never an altrusitic soul--do you really think he would be willing to help a team that might be on the bubble? Doubt it...
Hope you are well...
Go Sox!

Roger is an EXPENSIVE Hustler:
Sort of like Pete Rose;
SHADDUP Roger;
& take care of the wrist, Julie;
You'll be able to throw a lot further than Johnny Damon.

Julie, if you had seen him pitch, in person and in his prime, you'd be proud of him. He was literally kicked off the team by the then GM Danny D.....I just don't get all the animosity, not just from you. Just because he went to the Yanks? He was a Blue Jay first. The best thing that could happen to the Sox come July, hopefully way after they realize we need a closer, is Roger there to solidify what looks like a stellar rotation. Instead of hating someone because of his media persona, well, you're better than that. My two cents.
At 12:09 PM, Peter N said…
That goes for Christine too. Why the hate? I do not get it........
At 12:10 PM, Peter N said…
And you don't escape me, Michael....I love ya all, but I beg to differ. Bigtime.

peter, he's an amazing, amazing pitcher. i fully admit that. possibly the best of all time. i love his pitching skills. but attitude matters to me, too. it bothers me that his ego is so incredibly inflated that he sees no wrong in putting three teams on hold and starting the season late, just because he's good. there are other good pitchers out there too, and they went to spring training on time and worked their butts off. roger's entitled attitude is what bugs me.

it's kinda like for softball at my school there are girls who have been playing on varsity since their freshman eyar and they still try out just as hard as the rest of us thats how Roger should be
At 10:08 AM, Peter N said…
I understand you, Julie. But if the 3 or so teams showed no interest, he'd quietly stay in Houston and play baseball with his sons. Thanks for the reply....hope you're feeling OK.
At 3:25 PM, Julie said…
exactly, katie!

ATTITUDE plays a Major Role in this Game of Ours & Hours:
& I have NOT FORGOTTEN "The Piazza Beaning" for it was NOT accidental;
& Roger looked like he was on "INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH GREENIES" on that evening in July, 00, defended for his actions by that Industrial Strength BABOON, Tim Mc Carver, on FOX;
Roger will be welcomed back to Boston;
When Mel Gibson conducts High Holy Days Services @ a Synagogue in Brooklyn, NY.
