On Roger
It was hardly a surprise when I got the news via the NESN broadcast: Roger Clemens will play this season, and he'll play for the Yankees. In disgust, I decided to write Roger a nice little letter.
Dear Roger Clemens,
Your announcement that you will return to the Yankees this season brought me little excitement. I'm quite weary of this little game you play. See, Roger, you don't fool anyone when you say every season that you will retire in October. Even Osama Bin Laden knows you're coming back by June. By the way, New York? I thought you wanted to play for a contender.
I feel as though you would look less selfish and needy if you would just announce your availability in, say, December and let the bidding war over your arm take place in January, then report to spring training with every other player in mid-February. Maybe baseball could make a small concession, and you and Manny could go to spring training at the same time, give yourself an extra couple of weeks to get ready for the season or take care of suddenly ill grandmothers. But seriously, Roger, even Barry Bonds, that good-for-nothing ******* "chasing" Hank Aaron's homerun record, goes to spring training.
It was very creative of you to announce your return in the middle of the Yankees game, but that was not really necessary. The Yankees are tanking so bad, they would celebrate your arrival no matter when you announced it. Also, it was very sly for you to arrange for Petitte to go to New York before you went. Petitte kind of reminds me of Tinkerbell, Paris Hilton's little lapdog. You should get him a little pink collar.
My biggest question here, Roger, is why? Why don't you retire now? You are basically in the Hall of Fame. You have World Series Rings (plural), records galore, and international fame. Your kid is pitching in the Major Leagues. Don't you want to spend some time with your family, travel, build a new compound, maybe coach? Isn't there something else you can do besides hurl a ball 60'6"? Not to insult you, Roger, but this is getting pathetic.
With my absolute sincerest regards,
Rel.

Revolting. Is this another degrading homosexual innuendo again? Christ Almighty. I can honestly say that if Rocket ended up in Boston I'd be pissed, but not enough to make such utterly disgusting comments.

Beth don't be so defensive. This isn't anything to do with a 'homosexual innuendo'. Arielle isn't like that.
Everyone knows that Pettitte and Roger are BFF and anyone with half a brain knew if Roger WAS going to come back to baseball, he'd go where Andy was.
Get a grip.

Beth, I'm not pissed that Clemens is in New York. I think it's just ridiculous that he's back.
Also, I in no way was making a "homosexual innuendo." I don't see where you found that part. Why are you on a warpath against anyway who is unhappy about Clemens' return?

Why would anyone in their right mind be "pissed" if Clemens ended up in Boston. I know he's a money hungry ******* who probably wont last the season, but remember what he did when he was with the Red Sox. Think about the experience he has brought to the table. He is downright nasty.. But old. Although I dont think hes the star he used to be, I would have been excited to see that rotation.

A, just so you know, Koby Clemens is not a pitcher in the majors. He is a third baseman in the minors. Close, though. ;-)
By the way, you should learn to tone down your rants a bit. :-D
