Title: Strange Gammons note re the rocket
Post by: WulawHorn on March 29, 2006, 01:53:25 pm
In his WBC notes on his ESPN blog he said that Roger puts icy hot on his garbage and thighs before starts, so that he doesn't get too "comfortable" out on the mound.  

I think that this is one of the most bizare things I've ever heard- had anyone else heard this to be the case with him?

Apparently, Jake Peevy did it for the next start and "liked" it as well.  A disturbing trend in MLB.

I wonder how this compares to the car battery technique.

since sparky didn't light up his boys on the car battery I'd say clemens deal is worse.  It must not affect virility, he hasn't done it long, or some of his sons are the mailmans I guess.

Is there a link to this anywhere?  I don't mean to doubt you but having seen someone get the old icey-hot in the jock joke pulled on them, that's not just something you use as motivation unless you are one sick sick puppy.

Never mind... I found it.  WFT!  Anyway, the article is "Insider" material and, as such, I'll refrain from posting the quote...

Here's the  web page

Competitive runners do that same thing sometimes.  Same principle as running away from a swarm of hornets.

I don't get it.  What exactly is "wrong" with this?

Think about it.  When you're having sex, you do what?  That's right.  Think about Roger Clemens.

So when Roger Clemens pitches, he does what?  That's RIGHT.  Thinks about fucking a cold barely-alive fish.  

Duh.

Bando...

Reg-gie...Reg-gie...Reg-gie...

Vida B-b-blue

Catfish Hun.... Oh!!!!  so I WAS actually thinking of fish.  Who knew?

No... but that might lead to a case of Rollie Fingers.
