Totally blown away... Clemens is a Mormon? Sheesh.

I'm speechless, especially as baseball players are pretty much uniformly the least attractive of all sportsmen and Mr Clemens is hardly an exception. But as my charming & lovely robot friend Amy says:
"Roger Clemens had a 10-year affair with suicidal drug-addict country singer Mindy McCready. Romance began at a Ft Myers, FL karaoke bar when she was 15. What a jerk. Gee, I wonder why Mindy's been so messed up as an adult?"
Yeah, what she said. And also? If I was a hot 15-year-old hell-bent on having an affair with an older sportsman I would totally be going after a basketball or soccer player. Sayin'.

My post-steroid sympathy has waned drastically.

Someone's gotta be pretty fucked up to do this:
"My wife, Debbie, and my sons - Koby, Kory, Kacy and Kody - mean more to me than anything in the world.

"Koby, Kory, Kacy and Kody"
Seriously fucked up.

Does he want to have 17 more so he can have 21 Ks?
A few other "all my kids' names start with the same letter" peeps:
Antoine "Fats" Domino (they all start with A)
Bill Cosby (they all start with E "for excellence")
Calvin "Snoop Dog" Broadus (they all start with C)

You got it, bucko.
And you just know she's imagining some serious hair-pulling scenarios...

Let's not forget George Foreman.
As someone who's named after his father, I can't be too parsimonious, I guess. But, there's a limit, isn't there?
Posted by pamsterdam on 2008-04-29 14:27:11 +0000
L: correction:
It's Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr. and his kids' names all start with "Cor" (Corde, Cordell, and Cory).
And the George Foreman shizzle is just f'ed up.

Guilty.

And speaking about 15 year olds, bow about
Miley
and her K-fed wanna-be boyfriend?

I can't believe you took it there, Glib.

What, to an additional current event dealing with sexualizing 15 year old pop stars that are going to end up train wrecks?
Start watching at around 2:00.

I'm with Rosie.

but it is a shame when a fifteen year old is incredibly overexposed and overworked (seen her concert schedule?) and one day I'll get that freakin' song out of my head....

Rosie was talking about this crack whore photo that Annie Leibovitz took, not the candids posted above.

Who are these people?
Posted by pamsterdam on 2008-04-29 18:45:03 +0000
Children who were born in 1993. When we were all listening to the Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

Some how, I think the Rocket will sleaze and squeeze his way into the Hall of Fame. But the country is seeing him as the con man he always has been.
Some where Will McDonough is smiling...

Too what?
You refuse to shave with Occam's razor?

Are you, by chance, actually into Hannah Montana, or just the scandal?

It took me until right now to realize what you are guilty of. 10D and The Pants, now at Double A. Any chance of advancing to Triple A?

I don't think he gets in now.
maybe we should start a hall of fame pool on who gets in from the following:
Roger Clemens
Barry Bonds
Rafael Palmiero
Mark MacGwire
Sammy Sosa
Billy Crystal
Ben Affleck

Clemens is getting roasted, that's for sure. linky link

Nugget:
"Richard Emery, one of McNamee’s lawyers, said he would be surprised if the suit is dropped. 'It’s much too rational a move for them [Clemens] to make,' he said. 'Everything about the way they’ve handled this case is irrational, so I wouldn’t expect them to act rationally now.'”

1989!
Thought I was pretty slick listening to this in 1991.
