The airwaves and water coolers can’t get enough of this guy. He is a lightning rod, now more than ever.
Roger Clemens is pitching on Monday in Chicago rather than on Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Boston.
I’ve heard everything from “wimp,” to “coddling,” to “he’s not ready.”
Being a Yankee, the first two characterizations are funny, but are they really true?

Cleveland Indians GM Mark Shapiro left press passes for New England Patriots GM Scott Pioli and backup QB Vinny Testaverde.
It has been reported many times over, but I’ll give you the Reader’s Digest version:

Check in here after the Red Sox-Yankees game tonight and check out my analysis and send in your thoughts.
It should be a good one with Andy Pettitte going against Curt Schilling. The Red Sox always seem to get Pettitte in trouble, only for the Yankees lefty to get out of it.
