[Houstonist] Roger Clemens Agrees to Answer Fan's Questions

I have a question for Roger:

Roger, will you please just go away?

 

First we throw a $10 all-you-can-eat crawfish boil and now we can you the Rocket.


You're welcome.

 

I've read that he hired a new publicist or something to help his image, this and the Mike and Mike interview are part of that. Something tells me that Rusty is not on board. Then again, Rusty should have told Rocket to just come clean.

 

Quit hating on Roger. If I were in his shoes, I would've done the same thing.

This is MLB's fault, and the fact that they're handing off the blame to the players should be disgusting to everyone.

 

You are so in the minority on this. Clemens is an arrogant douchbag, similar to Kobe, and he isn't very well liked. And on top of that, he cheated on his wife and lied about taking steroids and HGH, and on top of that, he blamed his wife for taking the HGH, and on top of that, he had blond highlights in his hair at the age of 40. The guy is a first class jerk.

 

the blond highlights part is very true.

 

Someone seriously needs to ask him, if he thought the part of the bat that came flying back at him was actually the ball, as he said, then why was he throwing the ball back at Mike Piazza.

 

Ahh Rocket, when will you learn? Being an arrogant ass every single day in court and throughout your whole ordeal all those months ago is not going to be undone. Even if you were strictly """"""""hypothetically"""""" clean, who would believe you?

Why not just tell the truth then? Or how about even after the first few months you lied about it? Little fishy no?

 

Lol, I love the comments on the Houstonist so far

 

Did you not hear the idiot yesterday???

I'd be crazy to take steroids with all the heart problems in my family.... My step dad has heart problems bad on his side of the family...


HIS STEP DAD.......... NO BLOOD

Well, he's an ex-freebase addict and he is trying to turn his life around

 

Hmm. That does sound problematic if his step dad has no blood.

 

but don't agree to tell the truth.

 

I don't care what you think of him, when it is beginning to appear that a ton of people were cheating, and MLB was having a blind eye to it, what do you expect? They were saying that it was OK the same way every company does. If there is a company that shows through behavior that smoking pot is fine. And when policy changes, that is fine also. But you don't go back and try to find out who smoked pot beforehand so you can fire them so you come off looking like you had nothing to do with it.

 

He is so guilty. Not even a doubt to me.

 

Yes there was definitely a blind eye, definitely. But these guys were putting up ridiculous numbers taking advantage of those who play the game legitimately. Oh and its CHEATING. Your pot argument is frankly, stupid. Not even a comparison.

 

i didnt realize clemens was fired

 

Fired, brought up by the Gov't for their witch hunt to me = Tomato/tomato.

This is one thing all of you need to open your eyes to. I realized back in the 90's that baseball was letting steroids run rampant and they were playing a blind eye towards it when every other sport was testing.

Christ, look at Bagwell grow during the years.

THEY REFUSED TO TEST

And I was fine with that. The game truly became more exciting, and MLB knew that.

Now, if you want to get on the steroid bandwagon later on that is fine, but then

THEY WENT BACK AND TRIED TO BUST OBVIOUS USERS. OH, OTHER THAN MANNY, ET. AL. OF RED SOX PLAYERS

It has been the biggest attrocity I've ever seen in sports, and I simply don't see why y'all excuse baseball. It is, ultimately, their fault, and should be seen as such.

 

Well even tho they weren't testing, in the rules it was still not legal. Just because they don't test that makes it ok to do it?
