Ride the Rocket

I'm glad the Rocket's back. Its too bad he's going to be in a Yankee's uniform, but I'm just glad he's back. He's one pitcher you have to see play before you die.

The things the guy can do at his age is amazing. He defies science every time he takes the mound. Maybe when the rosters get expanded later in the season, the Yanks will call up Chase Wright, and Chase can learn a thing or two from the legend.

Roger Clemens is one of the reasons I became a Red Soxs fan. I'm a man of many different hats, I have a Rangers, Astros, Cubs, White Soxs and Yankees Cap. I love New Era ball caps. I try to be fashionable, key word try. I went to by a Red Sox cap at the mall, but my head is too big and they didn't have my size.

Anyway...

Why is Roger sparking so much controversy in the last couple of days? The guy is doing nothing wrong. Curt Schilling has something smart to say about him, David Wells, Phil Garner, the list goes on and on of negative remarks.
If I wasn't a big fan I could almost confuse Roger for Bonds with all the hate going his way.

The guy makes a ton of money, but who doesn't want the max amount that they're worth? $4.5 million a month doesn't seem like that much for the best living pitcher in baseball history. I mean, the guy can still get the job done every five days.

Astros Manager Phil Garner's comments were crazy. So he came out of retirement to play with the Astros the first time around. Don't be jealous Phil. You're not the one who determines the guys stipulations in his contract. If your boss didn't want a winner, he wouldn't have let Roger not come to the game if he wasn't pitching.

I'm just excited to see the guy pitch again. I remember every time the Astros came to Rangers' stadium the last three years, I would pray he was pitching, so I could go down there and see him.

I just wish I had the cheese to fly to N.Y. for a game.
