JMazz is right about Clemens

I can still remember going to Fenway and watching Clemens play his last few games for the Sox. He had taken time off for a pulled leg muscle somewhere, and after a long rehab, had resumed pitching. No one said it, but he was getting rocked before the time off, and he got rocked after he returned.

His fastball was, at best, mid-80's, and I mean it looked slower than that. He was finessing hitters, throwing anemic curves and even a change-up or too, but was still getting rocked. I remember this so well because we left the game in the fifth inning with Clemens and the Sox down 12 to 3, all twelve off the Roger! It is burned into my memory because on the way home we listened to the game and the Sox came back to win it 14 to 13.

At the end of the season, with Clemens irate that people were dissing him, everyone thought he was washed up as a pitcher. There wasn't even much of a clamor when the Sox didn't resign him and he went to Toronto. Mind you, the Yankees didn't want him either!!

Clemens has the personality and super-ego to cheat and then, when presented with pretty good evidence, deny it to hell. He probably has convinced himself that he never did take steroids by now.

JMazz is correct here; Clemens is a cheater.
