Roger Clemens halloffamer

I saw today that a judge was probably going to throw out the defamation suit against the trainer ( I forget his name) who gave the FBI Clemens' name. On the side of the story was the rocket's fat head wearing a Yankee cap. I was so happy to see that. When I was a kid I loved Rog, in my eyes he was the best. It was tough to see him go. It's always tough to see your favorite players move on, especially when you are younger. But he left for $100000000000000000000000000000, can't really blame him.
I am glad he was successful after he left, I just wish it wasn't with the Yankees. Now there is this cloud over that part of his career. He is a liar, a cheater and an asshole now. Now every time his name is brought up it has a negative connotation with it, and happily, an NY on his cap. I hope he gets into the Hall of Fame some day. He was one the best pitchers ever. I just hope that when he gets in it with that same NY on his cap. I bet that is the hat he wants to wear in there anyhow. It is kind of weird he doesn't get to choose. But that is a different story.
I don't want that scum-bag associated with the Red Sox anymore. He did not want to be here when he left, he wouldn't have been so out of shape if he did. He was complacent the last few years here, he didn't deserve a payday from the Sox. He got what he wanted and that was a huge contract. He for sure earned his money (in baseball terms, not real life of course). He left his uniform here, no one has put on the number 21 for the Sox since then. I say put Rog in the Hall of Fame with that awful Yankee cap on and we'll give the next young Red Sox the # 21. Let's move on from Clemens he has surely moved on from us.
It is not that Teddy, Yaz or Fisk are the best guys ever, but I would just feel dirty accepting the rocket up there with the rest of our Red Sox great. We can acknowledge he had a pretty good run here, but he moved on so should we. ( Now let's hope LA gives manny a fat check cuase I don't want to give all our future Hall of Famers to the Yankees)
