“You reap what you sow.”Barry Bonds learned this lesson quite well.And now, Roger Clemens is learning it, too.Both men have been surly with the media for years … and disdainful to a broad fan base everywhere except where they called home.Bonds has been dragged through the mud for years because of his horrible attitude … home run record, or not.Nowadays, Clemens can also stick his seven Cy Young awards where the sun doesn’t shine.He could intimidate batters with high-and-inside fastballs, throw broken bats at Mike Piazza during the 2000 World Series, and commit other various acts in trying to prove he was the Big Man on Campus.But trying to intimidate Congress … or have his lawyer attempt to intimidate an Internal Revenue Service representative?Sorry, that’s out of bounds.Oh sure, Clemens could defend himself on Capitol Hill by bragging about how he “wore the uniform of the U.S.” during international baseball competition. That doesn’t exactly compare to wearing the u
Yesterday morning was the first of the congressional hearings with Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee. As I look at it, both of these guys looked nervous when being questioned under oath. Neither of them could handle the truth or the pressure. But I would have to say I believe McNamee more than I do Clemens. Andy Pettitie said under oath that Roger Clemens told him about using HGH, but Clemens still denies it. He claims Pettite "misremembers". How could Pettite "missremember" something like this? This is a big deal, steroids is a big deal. Something is just fishy here. After being questioned several times especially by Elijah Cummings (House of Rep. D-MD), Clemens looked nervous, he had a look in his face that made him look guilty. Clemens' stories are going to come back and hurt him because everything isn't matching up. I can't believe Mr. Clemens, I just can't.
The report created by Roger Clemens' attorneys in an attempt to prove he didn't take steroids is now online:http://www.rogerclemensreport.com/reports/ClemensReport.pdfI wish I had the time to break this down fully. But scanning it, hereare some amusing highlights:A list of Hall of Fame pitchers who played past age 40, to prove thatit's not uncommon. Nevermind that most of the pitchers are:From the turn of the century, when arm-straining pitches likesliders and split finger fastballs didn't exist.

Baseball, as we know it, is about to change at 2pm today. The Mitchell report is being released. The Mitchell report is the 20 month investigation by former senator George Mitchell attempting to uncover steroid abuse by Major League Baseball players. Sources are saying that NY Yankees pitchers Andy Petite and future hall of famer Roger Clemens* is included in this report. I really hope no Cleveland Indians players are included. I will be extremely disappointed. Judgment day arrived for baseball's steroids era, with the Mitchell report set to be released and posted on the Internet for all to see. The first name to emerge Thursday was seven-time Cy Young Award winner Roger Clemens. ESPN.com reported that Brian McNamee, a former trainer for the Yankees and Clemens, said information he gave Mitchell on supplying the pitcher with steroids is in the report. The Web site, citing an unidentified source close to the trainer, said McNamee told investigators he supplied Clemens with steroi
Roger Clemens (6-6/4.18/68) has filed for free agency. The 47 year old pitcher is second all-time with 4,672 strike outs and won 354 games in his 23-year career.
Roger, if your reading this, retire. Save your legacy and get in the Hall of Fame. You should have been in it already if you had stayed retired in 2001.

No, I don't really expect an answer to this question, since we all seem to have gotten the point in fashion trying to revalue itself by collaborating with art.Alexander Brenninkmeijer, designer of Clemens en August ('which actually is a reference to the founders of the well known clothing company C&A, because, well Mr. Brenninkmeijer is part of the C&A family, but on his own now...'), doesn't have a store. The collections are only sold twice a year for three days in assorted galleries and museums. One of those selling periods started Friday September 22nd at KW Institute for Contemporary Art in ('where else') Berlin. But the tour isn't over by now. Please visit Clemens en August's website for a shopping event near you ('will try to check them out in Frankfurt at the end of october to see if the "art upgrade" works...').///Wo genau liegt der Sinn im Verkauf von Mode in Kunstinstitutione
Roger Clemens (hamstring) will not pitch again during the regular season. It's not clear yet what The Rocket's availibility will be for the playoffs, assuming the Yankees don't totally collapse and fail to make them (their magic number is one entering Wednesday's play).
Clemens said in an interview with NY Newsday that he is confident that [...]

Roger Clemens, who had an MRI earlier in the week, is set to have a cortisone shot in his ailing right elbow Wednesday. Clemens is not expected to miss his next start, though. If it turns out that he is unable to make a start this weekend, Mike Mussina would get the ball, YUK!!!

OH NO!!! Yankee Fans cringed yesterday as Yankee starting pitcher, Roger Clemens, had to leave after the 4th inning against the Mariners with elbow pain. Newsday reported Joe Torre saying, "I think we'll have to wait and see. For safety's sake, we're probably going to skip him at least once through the rotation."

Roger Clemens has a tireless work ethic and a splitter that still gives big league hitters fits, but The Rocket apparently can also laugh at himself.
The 44-year-old right-hander reportedly got some of the biggest laughs in the Yankees' clubhouse out of a popular Internet clip this week, which depicts the future Hall of Famer seeking a contract in the year 2057.
