Yikes. Is there anything this guy wasn't taking? And how does he wear a cup? That's gotta hurt.

Explains the whole "My goodness gracious!" thing.

Hospital to remove Clemens' name

ESPN.com news services

HOUSTON -- The Roger Clemens Institute for Sports Medicine, which opened in January 2007, will no longer carry the embattled pitching great's name.

The Memorial Hermann Hospital Health Care System announced Saturday that Clemens' name will be removed, effective Thursday, as the fallout from the Mitchell report continues to haunt the winner of 354 major league games and seven Cy Young awards.

The facility will be renamed the Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Institute.

In its statement, the hospital said the decision to take off Clemens' name was made "to better reflect its commitment to all sports and athletes" and that "the move reflects the desire to promote the broad range of sports medicine services and programs offered by Memorial Hermann."

In November, the New York Daily News reported that Clemens has been asked to end his involvement with a charity golf tournament in Houston that he has hosted for four years.

Although Clemens helped raise millions of dollars for the charities associated with the event, the Giff Nielsen Day of Golf for Kids was held Nov. 11 at Houston's Shadow Hawk Golf Club without him.

Despite its move to disassociate itself with the pitcher, Memorial Hermann Hospital said "Roger Clemens remains committed to working with us to champion youth sports and develop aspiring baseball players."

Clemens donated $3 million to Memorial Hermann for a pediatric wing at Memorial Hermann's Children's Hospital.

Clemens has denied using performance-enhancing drugs since he was identified in former U.S. Sen. George Mitchell's report on drug use in baseball. He filed a defamation lawsuit last January against his former trainer, Brian McNamee, who claims he injected Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone.

Federal prosecutors also are looking into whether Clemens committed perjury when he testified under oath in front of a congressional committee that he never used PEDs.

Clemens is eligible for Hall of Fame election in 2013, but McNamee's allegations may have irreparably damaged Clemens' chances of induction. Clemens has since filed a defamation lawsuit against McNamee.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

How many peeps in the last couple of years freaked the hell out when their doc sent them to the Roger Clemens Institute for Sports Medicine to get their wonky knee fixed?

[MFS62]

I'm probably the last person to support Clemens.
But that's not right.
I mean, he was involved in "sports medicine", ... sorta'.

As I type this, there are 25 hours and 44 minutes left in the Bush presidency.

My guess is that he WON'T pardon Roger Clemens. But we'll find out for sure soon enough.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Can you pardon without a conviction?

Would seem kind of perverted to me.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Ford pardoned Nixon before he was convicted of anything.

[Guest Edgy DC]

Excellent point. Ford, however, still waits beyond the grave for a pardon for those horrid yellow curtains.

[/quote:u450chyv] Said yellow curtains are depicted joyously in the Oval Office recreation in the Ford Museum across the street! It's actually pretty cool. They have audio tapes of a typical day playing as you enter.
