I'm a Phillies fan. Pity me. Feel my pain. |
We have dimwit for a GM and Walter Brennan for a Manager.

Yeah man. What a bummer.
Roger Clemens is a punk. Sure he is a great pitcher but he's a little punk.

I know how you feel! lol
I'm a Sox fan and a tad more biased.
Cedeño, the Cardinal who left the bases loaded, twice, against Clemens is a reserve who was playing precisely because his career batting average against Clemens was over .400. He did get a single in his 3rd at bat against Clemens. Clemens was very good in this game. Mulder was better: gave 4 singles and no walks in 101 pitches over 10 innings and allowed no base runners beyond 2nd base.
I'm a Cardinals fan. We won in the tenth. Those are the breaks Rocket.
Look at it from the Cardinals' pitching staff point of view. The team only produced one run in the game.

I'm a Sox fan who thinks he is the best pitcher Boston has seen since Cy Young. It was Dan Duquette who didn't want to resign him and told him he was in the twilight of his career. It was funny, though. I heard someone on Baseball Tonight mention that there is a remote possibility of Clemens being traded to New York or Boston if the Astros are out of the running by the trade deadline.

Proves my point. Where do you think the geniuses in the Phillies' front office got their new manager from??? |

Your more than a little bias. I looked up the definition of Punk in the dictionary and found this picture.
Zim's steroid needle must have slipped and went into his gut.
A lying punk as well. "I`m retiring from the Yankees and baseball, so please applaud me as I pitch for the last time...Woops, hello Huston."
When the Marlins won game 7, I literally locked my friend from Miami in the garbage closet of where we were living.
My sympathies to you.
He should have come back to the Red Sox for one last year. He would have been welcomed with open arms - and run support wouldn't be an issue.
No that's not it. The Punk figured an old man with a steel plate in his head was a fair fight.
Last year Clemens was evicted from his kid's little league game after becoming angry and abusive toward an ump. An alltime great pitcher but also surely a punk.
Roger Clemens was given an emphatic apology Thursday for "unjustly" being ejected from his 10-year-old son's baseball game last weekend in Colorado.
David King, president of tournament organizer Triple Crown Sports, said "Mr. Clemens was a non-aggressor and a victim of mistaken identity and confusion" by an upset umpire.
Clemens was asked to leave son Kacy's game Saturday in Craig, Colo., when a 22-year-old ump said the Houston Astros pitcher spit a sunflower seed at him. Moments earlier, Kacy was called out on a stolen base attempt _ the fielder later admitted he missed the tag _ and the Rocket watched the rest of the contest from a parking lot.
"Mr. Clemens never raised his voice, never physically confronted our official, nor was he ever on the field of play," King said in a written statement, underlining those words.
"Mr. Clemens was unjustly asked to leave the field of play," King said. "For all of this, we apologize to Mr. Clemens."
King spoke to the future Hall of Famer by telephone to apologize personally.
"I'm pleased with their statement," Clemens said through agent Alan Hendricks before Houston played Atlanta.
Earlier this week, Clemens became upset when discussing the episode, saying, "This is a shame and it's not even an issue."
Clemens was away from the Astros, as his deal with the team allows when he's not pitching, to watch his son play for the Katy (Texas) Cowboys in a 10-and-under tournament.
