I've heard of that one.

But the Rocket is arguably the greatest pitcher of his generation. He deserves a little more respect than that.

I know JRC gets some shit around here. But I will ALWAYS love the Trentonian for that headline. God, the joy that brought me.

Photo selection and positioning was key, also, with the shadow of a pleasure-grimace on Clemy's face.

This is a tremendous example of Manky's reading comprehension skills, because the only hint of a Clemens comeback with the Orioles is the columnist's line, "The only thing more far-fetched than Clemens making a pitching comeback at age 49? How about Duquette signing him to play for the Orioles?"

What the story really says is Clemens is thinking about pitching in the Puerto Rican winter league so he could be his son's teammate. It's folded into an article about Duquette negotiating with the Orioles.

On the plus side, though, that columnist has some really wacked-out hair, so that was a nice discovery.

My understanding of the article is he wants to pitch in the Puerto Rican league to build up his arm strength for a tryout with the O's in 2012 spring training.

I look forward to seeing what he can still do. Nolan Ryan is 15 years older than the Rocket and still throws in the mid 80s.

And, wow that is some weird hair on the columnist...gotta be a wig?

Ryan also has had some heart trouble, and, if I remember correctly, retired not due to his arm, but the rest of his body getting old.

Right, but Clemens kept himself in fantastic shape in the latter half of his career. His workouts were legendary, few if any of his teammates could keep up with him.

Are you fucking serious?

Yes, you should look up Clemen's workout regimens. Grueling. He adapted them from the Navy SEAL training programs.

Tony Mandarich had grueling workouts too. I remember reading all about them.

And McGwire and Canseco as well... I remember during the Bash Brothers days in Oakland you couldn't turn on the TV without hearing how dedicated both of them were to working out...

Like so many things in sports these days... Complete and total bullshit...
