Out In Center Field is run by Melissa, the Queen of Red Sox Video.

Let's put it this way: If Roger Clemens goes before Congress willingly, I'll eat his lawyer's hairpiece. In the biggest moments, he's always shriveled and tried to find the coward's way out. Why should that change now? I fully expect that if he does end up having to testify, he'll pull out his old standby and try to limp out of the proceedings halfway through with the trusty "tweaked" groin excuse. Desperate man, desperate measures.Jose Melendez weeps for Roger Clemens:
The United States of America is now a place where a man, a great man, a man who stood face to face with Jeff Suppan and almost won ... where a man who has several times almost made it through the first few innings of critical ALCS games can be given an opportunity to refute accusations, decline that opportunity, and then complain that there has never been an opportunity to dispute the story.

Thanks to Soxaholix for its amusing endorsement of me in the Canadian Blog Awards (vote here before next Wednesday). Now if you'll excuse me, the roof on my igloo needs some repairs.
Looks like Home Run Derby first had the Beckett footage.
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice roundup, RS.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm doing nothing, so I should note that there are people doing something.
ReplyDeleteOh you Canadians. You ought to come down sometimes and indulge in one of our water parks. I know the idea is foreign to you guys, but we have water most of the year (oppose to ice), and it's refreshing in the heat of summer (a season we get that would fall between your winter and winter season).
