"Roger Clemens is in George's Box!"

Never knew he was a woman. Be gentle, Roger.

Old clip, but still funny and telling every time I hear it. I liked the Yankees for a brief two-month period in 1987, mainly because I liked Don Mattingly and Dave Winfield growing up.

Then it began to feel wrong, like I was having an affair with stupidity. I thank Suzyn Waldman for allowing me to reminisce about those days of yore when one could flirt with the idiotic and blame it on youthful indiscretion.

Today begins the great exorcising of past Yankee demons with the return of Clemens. But let us remember that the Yankees began to play something resembling baseball before Jesus Christ returned to the team. Please?! It doesn't hurt they were given a gift with a four game series against the White Sox.

On that topic, he was supposed to pitch Monday against said White Sox but a mysterious groin injury arose. East Coast television markets and Saturday game of the week apparently beckoned. Media Whore!

As of this writing, his line is 4 ip, 5 hits, 3 runs, 3 earned, 2 walks, 5 k against the Pirates. Of all the dramatic things!

And according to this picture, it's odd he could even pitch at all given he's been dead for some time.
