  1. The only thing Roger had at his disposal was that he do the very best he could do winning the last nine games of the season and doing his part to the best of his ability to get Astro's in playoffs each game with the season hanging on it. Of course like the rest of the team he would have been most disappointed at not getting to World Series and beating Red Sox. But in the end if he could look in the mirror and say he did his best, he need not make any apologies to anyone, and to that end I am confident his teammates and peers feel that way about him. Without Roger they do not even get close. The only thing in Roger's control was he does his best and be the best teammate he could be and he did that. All the power to you it in your opinion someone else was more deserving
  2. Roger is the oldest man to win a Cy Young , he pitched the best he could at that time, hardly was he a loser, a loser is one who doesnt give their all........many folks with more points at the end of the day are losers where it matters and many short on the score board are the greatest winners because the excelled to their very best. ... the Roger did that....... at the end of the day Roger if he wished could give many a big smile and many others the big red smilie and walk away from the game laughing his behind off having the last laugh .
  3. I think what people miss about Roger is his presence on a team how he effect other team mates to raise their levels, how he helps other pitchers and other pitchers on his staff, many like to rag on Roger as bad guy, his team mates and other ball players speak differently of him. Curt Schilling is very thankful to Roger, Halladay in Toronto who went on to win Cy Yong was thankful for Rogers mentoring as was Andy Pettitte, no doubt the manager change effected Astros greatly this season, but make no mistake that having a Roger Clemens on the team and staff changed many attitudes where they kept fighting and at least gained a playoff position. So when looking at the Cy Young, you need factor in Roger effect on others on team and the Success. Fair enough Randy had a great year and fair enough he would have won perhaps twenty games as Astro with better run support, but would his moody persona lifted the level of the rest of the teams as Roger did, in my opinion I don’t think so and that to my is the deciding difference. In the end you can almost flip a coin as to which performance was better but the great ones raise the level of others around them, I think Roger did that this year
  4. Often, the older a pitcher becomes, the less effective he is on the mound. Roger Clemens apparently didn't get that memo. On Tuesday, the 42-year-old Clemens won an unprecedented seventh Cy Young Award, the Rocket's first as a National League pitcher. Cy Young
  5. No doubt this past Sundays game was a good solid win something to feel good about and evidence of a improving team a good team. It seems simple enough to play each game as they come and total them up anyone who follows sports for any length knows many things happen in a season. Let the season be over when its over and not a moment before.

  11. Brad is a good guy, he and Jeremy were most supportive of Bills drafting Willis Mcgahee from moment he was drafted , they were pleading with Bills to Draft Willis moments before he was drafted and cheered loudly when they did. Ever since he like many folks has looked forward to seeing Willis play, not a surprise he would mention he likes Willis on the Wall banner. Brad has visited here for easily a couple of years, he is not a new visitor.....

  19. For sure the Democrats if they had won the House , the Senate , the Presidency would be talking Bipartisanship today as if they had no mandate , how these folks say these things with straight faces.....
  20. Many folks seem to think Donnie Baseball takes over from Joe when the time comes. What they are saying about Willie Randolph is that he is very sensitive , that it will be interesting to see how he handles New York media. Nice he has got a shot anyway, its about time.
  21. Ed Coleman New York Mets announcer on the WFAN New York just said that the New York Mets will annouce that Willie Randolph will be the Mets Manager tomorrow. Also Mel Stottlemire will be replaced as Yankees pitching coach..... Joe will not like that.
  22. Disgruntled Democrats seeking a safe Canadian haven after President Bush won Tuesday's election should not pack their bags just yet. Canadian officials made clear on Wednesday that any U.S. citizens so fed up with Bush that they want to make a fresh start up north would have to stand in line like any other would-be immigrants -- a wait that can take up to a year. Unhappy Dems
