Let me just say that you would have to be pretty naive to think that ROGER CLEMENS didn’t dope up in order to remain dominant in the game of baseball. Unlike BARRY BONDS, he has been able to mostly fly under the radar due to other factors here in America (read: Supremacy-The Inconvenient Truth). Contrary to the mainstream media stories, steroids and performance enhancing drugs don’t make regular players superstars, but they do allow superstars to shine for longer periods. The window of opportunity to be a viable professional athlete is small. Performance enhancing drugs allow that athlete a chance to add a brief extension to that window. It doesn’t last forever and the downside is that the post-retirement lifestyle is usually short as well. Just look at LYLE ALZADO.
Former major league pitcher JASON GRIMSLEY is putting peoples’ business on front street now that the F.B.I. is getting up in his shit like RICHARD GERE’s hamsters. I don’t feel bad for CLEMENS or for ANDY PETITTE or any players that are implicated for juicing. It sucks that the players are forced to take the whole weight like JANET was forced to bear that cross after her titty went on television. The baseball team owners are just as complicit as the players are. The Houston Astros trotted CLEMENS out for the home fans one last time before the season was to end. By doing so they pushed CLEMENS out of his normal spot in the rotation and thereby took a day of rest from him. The management says that this was a gift to the fans. I hope CLEMENS gets a nice bonus for the azzes that he puts in the seats at Minute Maid park. In any case, its clear to me who gets the kid glove treatment when the talk of using anabolic steroids is flung around. Clear as the cream and the clear.
Actually the dominance of steroids in baseball (once again supporting my hypothesis of MLB: The American Microcosm) is proof of the LACK of “Supremacy” by the supremacists. Let be real people, name the last dominant white American athlete in the baseball in the last 20 years. Now find one with out the spectre of “Performance Enhancement”. You can’t. Now with Clemens coming under scrutiny its even worse. Just as American supremacy is slipping and needs to be bolstered by artificial and illegal means so does their progeny on the baseball diamond…
Clemens will be paid $12,262,307 for his service this year, pro-rated from $22 million since he took the first half of the year off. No bonus necessary.
40 Dawg,
Supremacy is alive and well and in no way has it been diminished. Keep in mind that the Supremacists used Eugenics to breed people that would be superior in athletics and robustness. The fact that Roger Clemens went to Toronto and blew the fuck up after several years of declining stats in Boston is the proof positive of his doping.
As for the last dominant white person in baseball you may or may not agree with me that white dominates this sport more than Blacks do (despite Ryan Howard being a effing beast).
My whole point is that Bonds is thrown under the bus by the same group of cokehead pussies that are too shook to shout out Roger Clemens.
Seriously I don’t know for sure about Clemens. Proof positive? He was feuding with Boston management and stuck on shitty Boston teams before he went to Toronto.
Right after his 2 dominant seasons in Toronto he had 5 years that were fine but definitely not dominant for the Yanks. It’s not like with Bonds where suddenly he got awesome in his late 30s. His Yankee seasons showed him as still a fine pitcher but not in his prime. And now with the Stros he faces shitty hitting and a pitcher every 9 guys.
I don’t doubt Clemens could have been on something but I certainly don’t see it as a forgone conclusion. Like Howard, Clemens came into the bigs as a strapping physical specimen and is said by people to be nuts about his training 20 years later.
The bigger issue remains how Clemens *and* Howard led me team to a fantasy baseball championship this year. 🙂
Now that is Supremacy… Roto Supremacy!
Billy Sunday –
I dig what you’re saying. I hope I wasn’t eluding to the premise that Supremacy is dead, what I am remarking to is that their Supremacy is not based in any natural supremacy. Its all through smoke and mirrors. Whether its waving a big book 400 years ago and saying it mandates a human pecking order, or collective shoving needles in your posterior to preserve “America’s Past Time”. What ever the rouse is it still eminates from a “Superiority based in Inferiority”. Because in the natural world they’re the most inadaptable inferior breed which has been documented over the course of time when ever the worlds have collided. So they’ve ingeniously created a set of rules to benefit themselves (Supremacy) to protect themselves from their inherent Inferiority.
Coming back to baseball I would care to challenge the notion of Supremacy in the game. Because honestly like America’s blue collar work force its being taken over by the hermanos. Plus who do you have getting nabbed on these ‘roids allegations? White guys. So factor in therm doping, the infinte crops of the brothers below the border, and if brothers really cared about baseball like hoop they’d be dropping down the pecking order even more. So yeah you might visually see more on the field and a bunch of “passing” Latinos may muddle the waters but black (Howard) and brown (pick ’em) are usurping that as we speak… Until they change the rules AGAIN (I can see baseball crippled by a Republican Immigration Law, while the NHL stays uneffected.)
In regards to Barry “Real N*ggaz Don’t Give A F*ck” Bonds, its OJ on an active athlete level. Its the ultimate manifestation of Supremacy when there is backlash when an “outside” benefits from the system. Especially one of them surly darkies. When Mark “The Lone Ranger” McGuire and his faithful valet Sammy “Tonto” Sosa were getting it done no one cared. They smiled and kissed babies and waived the flag. But when media nemesis BB gets accused they’re gonna have a field day because its the only thing they can even attempt to get him on…
Props for responding…
The thing about clemens or any pitcher taking steroids is that it helps you last. Keeps you up to par and minimizes injuries. Mark Prior is NOT taking steroids. However Clemens really shouldn’t be able to get as much heat on his fast ball and should have arm problems considering how great he’s been for so long. Grimsley is the snitch of the Year.
Man I’ve seen first hand how steroids DON’T work. When I was in college I played FB with cats who were juiced out weight room manics that were straight terry cloth on the field. Hell we had a KICKER on the juice, and this slaphead couldn’t hit a 25 yard FG… For shame. BOO THIS MAN!
Dallas, that article you link to is bogus.
Dude uses winning percentage alone to judge the man. Wins are irrelevant for judging how someone is pitching.
If you look at his ratios they suffer in his five seasons on the Yanks. He was fine but not the dominant pitcher he had been in his prime. He only appeared dominant again once he moved to the NL.
Rafi,
that article is submitted to support the argument that Clemens gets a pass from the media. Clemens came to the league as a big ol’ Texas boy, but he went to Toronto and became a beast. Act like you know Rafi. Even if it means that we have to rename your roto squad the Rafi ‘Roiders.
There’s no doubt in my mind Roger Clemens did steroids. Even though Nolan Ryan pitched until he was 85 years old, he wasn’t as dominant as Clemens was at 40-42. Say what you will about the National League, but for a guy to (suspiciously?) miss 50 games and still come in smoking cats out of the box like he did this year 20 years after he came into the league is a tad bit too much for me to validate. Look at Pedro Martinez, another dominant power pitcher of the American and National from the past 10 years. His fastball tops out at 90mph and he’s missed a significant amount of time in the past 4 years. He’s approaching his mid 30s and he looks like an old dog on the mound compared to Clemens, getting guys out with finesse and 87mph “heaters.”
To go completely off topic, white supremacy is massive in the NFL. Two words: Brett Favre. I watched him last night against the Iggles, as well on Week 1 against my Bears, run down the tunnell to the lockerroom after his team was embarrassed both times. He didn’t shake hands with ANYBODY! Now–if T.O or Keyshawn or Deion Sanders or Chad Johnson or Randy Moss would have done this TWICE in ONE MONTH, it would be lead story on Sportscenter, PTI, Aroud the Horn, Cold Pizza, etc. non-stop.
Thoughts?

^I’ll co-sign that Brett Favre comment as well. Remember how he wronged ol boy Javon Walker? Actually fucked his contract negotiations for no reason what so ever and Walker tears his ACL. NFL players usually get two, maybe three contracts.
