The Rocket fizzles into the terlit

Former shoo-in as a future Baseball Hall of Famer Roger Clemens had a 10-year affair with a country-and-western version of Amy Winehouse.

It started when she was 15.

Allegedly.

For you novices, it has only been of late--yet pre-Mitchell Report--that The Rocket has been made some sort of hero.  Though not as disliked as 5-Star Asshole Barry Bonds, many would give Clemens at least 3 stars.  Many, many writers, players, and fans have greatly disliked him for years. 

I hope that now certain African-American callers to sports radio will shut the fuck up because now you'll see how Clemens plays out in the arena of public opinion and, therefore, all of that dislike of Bonds is no racist thing!

Just for the record, any guy who would purposely throw a 92 MPH fastball at his son's head--as Roger did--has zero respect from me.
