*OT* Hat's off to the Rocket tonight (for our Canadian readers, that's Roger Clemens, and not Rocket Richard-g)
20-1 is a mind-boggling acheivement, although I admit Roger's been lucky this year...he couldve had several losses, but the Yanks sure hit great for him...regardless, quite outstanding..
All the more remarkable, the guy is 39, which is old for any athlete (unfortunately)...superb conditioning however...
Gotta laugh at that bozo Dan Duquette (how has that guy kept his job? Damn, for $80 million, even I could get the Sox into 2nd place). He had a classic comment on Roger 5 years ago, when he didn't resign him at age 34...."Roger is in the twilight of his career"....Uh 3 (or is it 4?) Cy Young's later, a few 18, 19, and 20 win seasons, leading league in strikeouts, and at least one championship later....I'd say Duquette's a goob.....
Anyone else love to see Roger battle Nolan Ryan in their primes? Afterwards, I'd love to see those 2 duke it out-g....anyone ever see Ryan beat the crap out of Robin Ventura right before he retired? (Ventura had the audacity to charge the old man-g)
OK, tangent over...off to bed.. |
