ROGER CLEMENS gets offended that you would accuse him of cheating, when all he was doing was trying to remain competitive in a league where some of these players are husbanded to grow over six foot tall and more than two hundred and fifty pounds.
SID FERNANDEZ stand the fuck up!
Blame everyone else except for CLEMENS for the choices he made. Blame a eugenics project deep in a Dominican forest. ALEX RODRIGUEZ doesn’t use steroids. Blame the radiation from Veiques. It pollutes the ground water and makes everyone who touches it a masterful baseball player. It was blessed many years ago by Sr. CLEMENTE and now a fountain springs from the ground.
Seriously, what is it about people from Texas and reality? ROGER CLEMENS needs to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up. Baseball fans, ne, sports fans like myself KNOW that shitbag was on the crack. We didn’t give a fuck either. Whatever makes someone hit a ball 500 feet or throw a ball 100 miles per hour was never our concern. I don’t even know who started this steroids shit in the first place? This is American sports for chrissakes. If you aren’t on some shit then you aren’t making the team.
What I see as fucked the fuck up is ROGER CLEMENS desire to throw everyone but himself under the bus. CLEMENS could care less that his former trainer has a child with a grave medical condition. All CLEMENS wants is to maintain his ability to golf anywhere, anytime and to continue to sell his balls to the highest bidder [ll]. Eff you ROGER. Eff you and the over 90mph fastball that you rode in here on.
I’ve used this page to defend all the baseball players that have been accused of using steroids or human growth hormone because I understand the nature of professional sports and the window with which even the most talented and gifted players have to compete is tiny. As a fan and consumer I also recognized the role that management and ownership plays in supplying athletes with whatever they need to perform.
Don’t you realize how desperate the MLB was to rekindle some interest in their sport after the player’s strike canceled their flagship event? The owners set their players up with trainers and doctors and doctored the baseball for good measure as well. McGWIRE, CLEMENS and BONDS drank the Kool-Aid and now the MLB is throwing them under the bus. Payback is a B.I. There’s still no excuse for CLEMENS treatment of his trainer. Part time Christian ANDY PETTITE has obviously been taking it in the butt from ROGER on the regulack so before any more wild shit finds its way to the papers my suggestion for CLEMENS is to put on a ‘Ho Sit Down’ jersey.
You’ve just been named the starting pitcher [ll].
bonds and clemens abused those poor white steroid endorsin’ trainers. bonds must have compensated that cat after the fact, cause he sure as hell wasn’t snitchin’. roger looked like he was guilty as fuck when mike wallace was asking those questions.
Kudos on this post.
I am loving the Sid Fernandez reference. He was a big boy.
Piazza should have taken a bat to Clemens the second time he threw at him.
Props to the Sid Fernandez nod. (Check out “And The Bad Guys Won” by Jeff Pearlman. It’s all about the 86 Mets and all the havoc they rained on the MLB that year. A great read for any Mets fan worthy of the blue and orange)
Peter,
Greg Andersen DID snitch. That was the cause of the Bonds indictment at the latter part of 2007. The day the Feds filed the indictment they commuted Andersen’s sentence.
Candice,
Sid Fernandez was my nigga. There was a ridiculously popular Cuban restaurant in my neighborhood that he would go to after games and I met him there in person several times. Everyone effed with their Cuban sandwiches. Sid wasn’t more than an few inches taller than me, but dude was as wide as double doors. Imagine a triangle standing on point.
Encyclopedia Black,
I will peruse that book at Borders one time. Another Mets fan from my era told me it was more garbage gossip than anything, but what do you expect from a guy who wears Rusty Staub batting gloves to drive a ’93 Maxima?
This is American sports for chrissakes.
I think that said it all. If you hear about another wrestler using, please do not act surprised. What I am surprised about is the NFL. You don’t hear anything about HGH or steroids. Not a whisper, but then again . . . Michael Vick temporarily shielded all NFL players from scrutiny.
shit, he did? i thought they measured bonds skull and then indicted him. oh well, guess he couldn’t hang on any longer. bonds statements about anderson in game of shadows are quite hilarious. def check it out if you haven’t.
Looks like clemens is about to start catching. Fuck him for getting special considerations anyway. “You wanna play this year?” “I don’t know…ask me in August.”
AND NOW………………..
FINE ASS Marion Jones has been sentenced to 6 mos.
Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t really give a fuck about all the steriod hype.
I mean, they aren’t hurting anyone but themselves.
I think this steriod witch hunt has less to do with “THE INTERGITY OF THE GAME”and more to do with DESTROYING REPUTATIONS.
