Olympic team doesn't want Clemens

Posted: Thursday May 08, 2008 06:08AM ET

Don't expect to see Roger Clemens in Beijing at this summer's Olympics. U.S. Olympic baseball general manager Bob Watson told the Associated Press yesterday that he does not want Clemens on the team. "From my standpoint, we don't need that type of distraction," Watson said.

Well, the Olympic team isn't female, underage or off-limits----so Roger doesn't want them anyway. So now!

Report Offensive Comment

Man, aren't we just the Masters of the Obvious today. I had him pegged as the #1 starter, and now they don't even want him on the team?

WOW!

Good choice Watson, don't need to get the team DQ'd cause Rog fluked the drug test.

Fair point Mr Watson, now let's tackle the distraction of holding the Olympics in a nation that is a cesspool of human rights violations....

Report Offensive Comment

Fair enough Mr. Watson, but it's not jsut the distraction, how about because he can't pitch anymore. He's what 44 now? Please give me a break. Roger's distraction has now become your distraction, with your comment. Hey I got an idea, how about you calling Barry?

Like he'd ever be able to pass their drug tests.
