If There’s Grass on the Field, Play Ball!
According the the New York Daily News, Roger Clemens carried on a decade long affair with country singer Mindy McReady that started when she was fifteen. They met in a karaoke bar which totally makes sense if you’ve ever heard McReady sing.
The Shocker. You’re doing it wrong.
Clemens admits that they have a relationship, but he denies that it is sexual. He also denies former trainer Brian McNamee’s allegation that he gave Clemens KY Jelly and Spanish Fly.
Clemens has always been a POS, but as a former Longhorn he was always forgiven by Texas fans.
Not this time.

I predict that it could be worse.
It could have been a 15 year-old boy in a gay bar.

I now know what Virginia Madsen will look like in 100 lbs.

Alec Baldwin?

Mindy used to be pretty hot…but I never got to check her out as a 15 year old…so I’d have to ask the rocket.

15? Damn Rog. That grass wasn’t even ready for mowing yet.

The only thing keeping this from being a full-fledged morality play is a really skinny Michelle Pfeiffer in high heels.
(Throw in a bad Cuvan accent, a few hundred pounds of blow, and a maintenance van outside the house packed with fat FBI agents, and you’ve got yourself a drama.)

The fall from grace could be hilarious. At the rate Clemens is going, 3 years from now he’ll be credited as “Mechanic Watching From Window” in Illicit Scandals 3 on Skinemax.

Back when Clemens was making the rounds of the halls of Congress in preparation for his testimony, I put up a post here in which I said I thought it was too early for Longhorn fans to just assume he was guilty and throw him under the bus.
I take it back. Throw away. What an unmitigated POS this guy is.

His number needs to be un-retired. He wasn’t the best pitcher on his own team while he was here anyway.

Dynamite drop-in with the Canteen Boy photo…

I am no defending the Rocket here, but it’s pretty interesting the way this thing has played out.
- Yesterday the Daily News runs the story based on anonymous sources, casting its line in the water. Roger bites, coming up to deny, deny, deny.
- Today, the follow-up story is McCready confirming everything; has Roger said anything today?
- Guess who has a reality show coming to TV soon? Yep, that’s right - Mindy McCready. I wonder if anyone will want to tune in to see the chick Clemens used to bang?
Poor guy got played like a garage sale accordion.
And Rusty Hardin, legal genius? Not so much.

No kidding! What’s wrong with world when the 15-year-old you used to bang when you were 28 finds a way to make money off it down the road?
Someone needs to teach these scheming little bitches the meaning of true love. Maybe make it a class they have to take before they can get their driver’s license.
April 29, 2008 at 12:42 pm
OR… teach guys to keep it in their pants.
I tend to agree with Woody, though. The timing of this “story” is a bit suspicious.
Not that I care about Clemens, or baseball for that matter. When does football start again?
April 29, 2008 at 1:05 pm
Of coure the timing of the story is suspicious. So is the company Roger kept. (McNamee and Mcready?) You lie down with dogs you get up with fleas.

I think the saying goes you sleep with itchy ass wake with stinky finger.
April 29, 2008 at 1:24 pm
None of this — none of it — would have mattered if he’d said he took some illegal stuff and was sorry.
April 29, 2008 at 4:47 pm
Or if he had just said I’m not talking to Congress. And anyone who thinks Rusty Hardin is something other than a third rate hack, is smoking blow.

billable hours if his client comes clean:
200-2000
billable hours after the Great Denial:
2000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Nothing wrong with 15 year olds, as long as you’re 15 yourself. I can’t wait for the next turn in the Clemens saga…
Still not as good as Zsa Zsa’s eighth husband (and purported prince) claiming to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith’s baby (awesomely unexpected twist in that case). Hey, did Roger ever meet Anna Nicole?
April 29, 2008 at 5:34 pm
Rusty Hardin is definitely a legal genius. But when dealing with this sort of he said/she said case, you also need a client who’s neither an idiot nor a pathological liar in order to be effective. Clemens apparently meets neither standard.

If I ever get famous I am going to have to murder all the 15 year olds I banged. Or is it bung?
April 30, 2008 at 4:24 am
Hopefully he waited till she was 18 before he went bung.
April 30, 2008 at 4:42 am
“If I ever get famous I am going to have to murder all the 15 year olds I banged. Or is it bung?”
You know, I don’t think you’d have to do that. I seem to remember you looking about 12 in the pictures you posted with your dog.
Red - The few articles I’ve read said that they met when she was 15, but nothing happened until she became “famous.” I have no idea how old she was when that happened, though.

I’ve had clients lie to me, lie under oath, then get caught when the truth later came out. It ain’t fun. There’s not much the lawyer can do in that situation.
Hardin is a very good attorney and is very skilled defending people accused of crimes.
Don’t confuse him with Clemens.

Yeah, well Karl Malone says 15-year-olds are too old.
April 30, 2008 at 11:20 am
it might be “binged” like in cherry.
