Clemens Goes to Court

[Edgy MD]

The Feds have a team of five lawyers going after him. Going to be very difficult for Andy Pettitte to back out of his statement under oath.

[Ceetar]

Think this trial finishes up before the 2013 Hall of Fame vote?

If not, should they be pleading the case in moot court. IMO, a conviction serves a dual purpose.
1) Put the fat coward, bat tossing motherfucker in jail.
2) Keep the fat coward, bat tossing motherfucker out of the Hall.

[metirish]

It's been dragging on for so long, what is the status of the trial now?, why is he in court this time....is it the same case?

Clemens you fat prick....

[Edgy MD]

He's on trial for fat prickiness.

No, it's the same case. The prosecution bungled it embarrassingly last time, and a mistrial was declared.

[Guest Kong76]

Smirky fat prickness.

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Prosecute him for the bat-tossing, too!

Just don't put Shawn Estes in charge of dispensing justice ... again. Seriously, Shawn. How did you miss that butt?

I ask that question constantly....

[metirish]

Estes did his a home run which in a way was sweeter.......last Met pitcher to hit one out?......last Met pitcher to hit one out at Shea?

[Edgy MD]

Santana homered during a shutout in Cincinnati the year before last. Last one at Shea was by Maine in 2007.

[metirish]

Thanks Grim , was guessing Johan but thought he came close a few times ....I remember Cohen making reference several times about "Johan hitting one out soon"......


How would one search for that information over the the UMDB?

[Benjamin Grimm]

There doesn't seem to be a way for the public to do that particular search. I was able to generate those results by accessing the database directly.

Elitist!!



Odd that the last nine HRs by NYM pitchers have all come at home.

[Ceetar]

I failed in my offseason quest to set up my own database. oops.

[metirish]

Doc could swing the bat eh?

[Benjamin Grimm]

Wow, the 2000's were a pretty skimpy decade for homers by Mets pitchers.

[Frayed Knot]

Plus he claimed he was really a LH batter although Davey would never let him hit that way on account of exposing his right arm towards the pitcher.
So he hit exclusively RH-ed to the detriment (he claims) of even more HRs.

[dinosaur jesus]

Should be two homers by Terrell at Wrigley in 1983. Same game.

[Benjamin Grimm]

I should have made it clear that that list is of games in which a pitcher homered, not a list of all homers by a pitcher.

[Fman99]

I hope he gets the chair.

I'm partial to a firing squad... Clemens is forced to stand in the batters box while getting beaned over and over again by all the pitchers who didn't cheat.

might be a short list

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Shouldn't he be impaled on bat shards?

[Benjamin Grimm]

They should lock him in a room with Suzyn Waldman for 48 hours.

Now that's cruel and unusual.

You might as well schedule his murder trial for the next day.

While Roger's day will come, Lenny Dykstra gets 9 more months tacked on for lewdness

Nah, Suzyn would be too busy blowing Roger for him to attack her.
