    I didn't realize Kashmir pitched for the skeeters. What on earth happened to that guy? He was a stud on the rays it seems like just a few years ago.

    Yep. His stuff, which was electric when he first came up, is absolutely gone. His fastball in particular has no life on it.

    If Rog gets Oz to come back and they play for the Astros next season it would be the most ridiculous circus act ever. The Carnival Barker would be impressed.

    Baseball's version of the Jets. Let the kids play and not some over the hill circus act who misses the attention. This guy is worst than Favre.

    Okay, am I looking at this picture right? Does Roger Clemens actually have his own logo?

    Yeah, I think he's had that logo for a while.

    Does it surprise you? He is a supreme top-shelf narcissist egocentric *******, and has been for years.

    And for some reason, people around here defend him. This guy is the biggest jerk in sports.

    I honestly don't see what's wrong....he wouldn't be the first athlete to have a logo....

    .....unless he isn't selling anything with it on there I guess...

    I bet he injures his hamstring and has an emotional press conference...

    He's eligible for the HOF ballot if he doesn't pitch in the MLB this season.

    It would be interesting if he got voted in and came back at age 51 for the Astros as a HOFer pitcher/mentor.

    Would this be Crane's plan for using Clemens?

    This coming from the man dangling from LeBron's sack.

    Cuz I had a pair and remember, Ken Griffey Jr had a logo too in the Nike "Swingman" brand.

    (Me being near Anaheim, Albert Pujols has his own logo for no apparent reason)

    Pitchers don't have logos for endorsements, just usually the written signature on the glove thing. Yeah Clemens is a meathead and its telling that it'd be him, but at least he tried to break in.
