From the New York Daily News:

Roger Clemens carried on a decade-long affair with country star Mindy McCready, a romance that began when McCready was a 15-year-old aspiring singer performing in a karaoke bar and Clemens was a 28-year-old Red Sox ace and married father of two, several sources have told the Daily News.

Well that’s certainly creepy. It’s not like Roger Clemens would be the first Major League Baseball player to have an extramarital affair. Why did he have to focus his attentions on a child? A 28-year old screwing a 15-year old is definitely creepy unless the 28-year old is a female teacher and the 15-year old is a boy. In that case, it’s just Florida.

Mindy McCready is the country singer that got into trouble with the law for trying to use a fake OxyContin prescriptions. I think she also tried to choke a boyfriend to death. Mindy McCready may very well be a flawed and troubled person because Roger Clemens was throwing her the high hard one when she was just a kid.

I always thought Roger Clemens was a dick.  I just never realized he was a sexual deviant.

Mindy McCready has since confirmed the story.

Thanks to the fact that I felt like dog poo today and called off work, I was able to sit at home in my recliner and watch Roger Clemens and Brian McNamee testify before Congress about performancing enhancing drug use. I would have listened to the hearing if I was at work, but I would have missed out on a lot of the details if I had only listened to it on XM.

I’m not even sure why Congress is investigating this. From what I can tell, Clemens either used or didn’t use steroids and human growth hormones before they were even banned by Major League Baseball. Plus, at least some of his supposed performance enhancing drug use happened when Clemons was in Toronto. The last time I checked, Toronto was in a different country.

I don’t know what a strength and conditioning coach is supposed to look like, but I’m pretty sure they are not supposed to look like this guy. Could Roger Clemens have found a bigger nerd then McNamee to be his strength coach?

I have no idea if Roger Clemens used steroids or human growth hormones or B-12 shots or egg white omelettes or skinless chicken breasts. I really don’t care. I do think he should be kept out of the Baseball Hall of Fame. The reason? For hiring an Ichabod Crane lookalike to help him lift weights.

For that, he should be forever banned from Cooperstown.
