**** Clemens, he's a ****ing pussy anyways, he doesn't deserve a free pass for the shit he pulls. People call Arod, ManRam, Bonds selfish because of the money and contracts they signed, Clemens is not being selfish here? Playing the family card is pathetic. Sprewell and Owens played the family card and they got BLASTED by the media, and Clemens gets a free pass?
Sprewell also choked somebody and Owens established himself as the worst teammate in sports history.Quote:

That's old school baseball and it ought to be played that way. Choking your coach and talking shit through the media is not apart of the game.Quote:

Either play or retire, whichever is fine, just do it the way all players have to do it!! Oh wait, I don't feel like going to work tomorrow, still hope I will have a job, if you catch where I am going.
Me too. Not worth all this crankiness. :DQuote:

Let set good, positive examples for the youth so they can grow up and learn good morals!
I dont think anyone can argue that Roger isnt a worker. You ever tried to do one of his famous workouts? He has one of the most stringent workout regiments of anyone and thats why he's been able to pitch as well for as logn as he has. He is just at a point in his career where what else does he have to prove and wants to be closer to his family.Quote:
