"The return of Roger Clemens to Houston was the biggest story in baseball in May. Maybe the Astros would be better off without him. Houston was two games over .500 before they signed The Rocket. They are five games under .500 since. Clemens, who starts today against Arizona, has a 2.45 ERA but is 2-4. He is looking like a waste of money."

Thinking about it now, I'm surprised we didn't let Nolan Ryan go sooner after we figured out what a waste of money he was when he went 8-16.

Heard a bit on ESPN radio this morning that said something similar, and lambasted the Astros for letting Roger down. The announcer then went off on a rant about how good Roger would be where it all started, in Boston. He said Roger is better than Beckett and look how great Beckett is doing thanks to Man-Ram and Big Papi.

I would really love it if Toronto won the AL East and the White Sox won the wild card, keeping both the Red Sox and the Yankees out of the playoffs. The media might forget that there was a playoffs and go straight to NFL coverage.

I'd really love it if Toronto won the AL East, Detroit the AL Central, and Minnesota the wild card.

Yeah, the Twins. That's better than the White Sox. For a minute there I forgot how good they have been. I'll revise my AL Wild Card hopes to the Twins too (I'd really like to see how Guillen would react if he's kept out of the playoffs). I guess as for the AL Central I figure the Tigers won't slow down. Amazing how big a difference a season can make. It's the feel-good baseball story of the year.

FOX execs would be hanging themselves in the boardroom and flinging themselves out of very high windows.

ESPN would go comatose, then they'd be reduced to round the clock NFL, darts, and poker coverage. Unless they could talk Landis into peeing into a cup live on TV for testing.

The World Series of Darts is great, for only one reason, the guy who screams the score.

ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!

Then after the 180 is screamed out, all the Pom NECKS start waving their 180 cards and looking like a group on the brink of becoming darwin award winners.

I actually heard a WSOD commentator say the morbidly obese thrower had an advantage over his opponent based on his lower center of gravity.

I don't get it, either. What really annoys me is that they have a library full of old NCAA and MLB games, as well as all of the NFL Films, and yet ESPN Classic shows poker at least 6-8 hours per day. Why???

It's repulsive losers...trying to lie to each other.

No one ever lost a DIME underestimating the American public.

All I ever seem to catch when flipping past ESPN Classic is bowling... But hey, at least it's "classic."

Poker? Darts? How about the ROCK PAPER SCISSORS tournament that was featured on SportsCenter this weekend?
