Well, it’s the postseason, and Roger Clemens takes the mound in Atlanta against Bobby Cox’s Braves today.
Unless, of course, Tammy rains the game out. Leave it to UN-loving Ted Turner to spend hundreds of millions of other people’s dollars and rake in trunkloads of tax breaks just to build an open-air stadium, eh.
Anyway, Roger’s got the best ERA in the league even if his win-loss record doesn’t reflect his amazing performance this year. For some reason, run support vanishes when he plays, the middle-relief crumbles, and errors pile up like cars on a freeway fleeing a hurricane.
I have this game called Who Screwed Roger Clemens Bingo where I post up a Bingo card:
And then you can track who screws Roger Clemens with lousy play or failing to come through in the clutch.
The center square is a free square. If you get five in a row, Frank J. will kill a monkey in your honor.
So play ball, and play Bingo!
First!!!!!
Bingo ate muh baby.
His wife’s name isn’t on the list? Not even his girlfriend? No wonder the guy loses
Clemens sucks but the Braves are still going to lose.
(This coming from a Braves fan.)
Astros suck!
Go Phillies!
(An always dissapointed Phillies fan.)
Looks as if Roger screwed himself yesterday, with five earned runs in five innings. If memory serves, that’s a fairly typical post-season performance for him.
Let’s see…
Biggio for bad fielding.
Palmerio for lousy hitting.
Everett for lousy fielding.
Ensberg for bad hitting and lousy fielding.
Qualls for blowing 2 runs.
Garner for not putting in Lamb instead of Palmerio.
Berkman for lousy hitting.
Taveras for lousy fielding.
Mrs. Roger Clemens?
