Clemens bashers? Why the harsh feelings towards Roger? The man is 10-3 pitching for a 500 ballclub. If the astros relievers would not have given up gophers in the late innings he would be 13-3. The man is 41 and still pitching better than most of the 20 year olds around him. Remember that in this day and age a 4.0 ERA is considered good, Roger has a 2.35.
The man has more Appearances, Wins, and Strikeoust than most pitchers that will ever play the game and is a shoe in for the hall of fame.
Is he a bub because he lost 3 games this year? Maybe he is a bum because he decided to continue playing the game he loves in his homwtown where he can see his kids play ball. Maybe he is a bum because of all the time he donates to underpriveliged kids and hospitals thru his foundation. Come to think of it he is a bum, a shame more bums don't follow his lead.
Yea, he gave up 6 runs in a game that matters about as much as the oldtimers game yesterday.
Just my opinion, but I see Roger as a class guy in everything he does, just ask the kids he visits in the hospital.
