ROGER CLEMENS has been more quiet than a churchmouse while the Feds supposedly gear up to take a swing at his congressional testimony. It turns out that his lawyer, RUSTY HARDIN, also represents the Rockets’ BFF, ANDY PETTITTE.
This seems odd to me that HARDIN would have let PETTITTE go in so hard[ll] on ROGER without some kind of safety blanket. Maybe ANDY was overcome with his Christian sensibilities when he testified to the FBI? I know that I seem to have a hard-on[ll] for watching the persecution of a great American hero.
ROGER CLEMENS was the dude that really gave less than a shit for the fan and only gave a fuck about his vanity. I want justice (no DAVID) and then I want to move the eff on with my life. ROGER CLEMENS and BARRY BONDS should both be in Cooperstown without asterisks. If BABE RUTH, CY YOUNG and TY COBB don’t have them no one should.
PETE ROSE? Not so much…
i’d like to know the reason for pete rose being banned from cooperstown. compared to the juicing climate of today gambling isn’t that serious a transgression. it just forced his game to be more flexible.
question: is marge schott more hated than pete rose, or is it vice versa?
Rose is rightfully banned because he bet on a team he was managing. No one cares of Pete had like to bet the ponies or on football, but he bet on games he directly participated in. It opens the door to match fixing and baseball was nearly destroyed in the 1920s by such behavior.
Pete shit hard on the game. Sonn was in too deep and bet on his team to flop.
Let me amend my statement and say that Rose should go in the HOF, but only posthumously.
As long as Pete Rose can’t get in…you should be able to sue Casinos for throwing out when caught counting cards…I’m just saying.
