Clemens apologizes for 'mistakes', being a douche Saying he had made "mistakes" in his personal life, Roger Clemens apologized to his family and the public on Sunday. In his first public comments since he was linked to an extramarital affair, the former New York Yankees pitcher issued a statement that did not detail what those mistakes were. Clemens did take the opportunity to deny that he had an affair with country singer Mindy McCready, as was reported by the New York Daily News. He also said that he had not taken performance-enhancing drugs. "I know that many people want to know what I have to say about the recent articles in the media," Clemens said in the statement. "Even though these articles contain many false accusations and mistakes, I need to say that I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry. I have apologized to my family and apologize to my fans. Like everyone, I have flaws. I have sometimes made choices which have not been right." Clemens' statement was first reported by the Houston Chronicle Citing anonymous sources, the Daily News reported that Clemens "carried on a decade-long affair with country star Mindy McCready, a romance that began when McCready was a 15-year-old aspiring singer performing in a karaoke bar and Clemens was a 28-year-old Red Sox ace and married father of two." In the statement, Clemens said: "Now, I have been accused of having an improper relationship with a fifteen-year-old girl. Nothing could be further from the truth. This relationship has been twisted and distorted far beyond reality. It is just one of many, many accusations that are utterly false." Clemens refused to reveal the reason for public declaration but concluded: "I realize that many people want me to simply confess and apologize for the conduct that I have been accused of, but I cannot confess to, nor apologize for, things I did not do. I have apologized to my family for my mistakes. And having offered this apology to the public, I would ask that you let me and my family deal with these matters in private." Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, said Friday he will talk with his client about whether to proceed with the defamation suit following a wave of unpleasant publicity. "He's getting pummeled," attorney Rusty Hardin said then. "I've never seen somebody get beat up like this. In some ways, I think we're on uncharted ground." The decision on whether to drop the suit rests with Clemens. "That's always a decision the client has to make," Hardin said. "That's not the lawyer's decision."

Let's go Mets! Try to get this thing evened up.

OK we get it. Owings can hit. Can they please stop talking about Babe Ruth? My cerebrum hurts.

Maine's settled into a nice groove the last two innings. And the lineup just seems to have a different feel with Alou in there. Or is it just me?

I feel the need to exclaim this, having listened to some of the Cubs/Brewers game on XM yesterday: Ron Santo is a stammering, yammering ass of a broadcaster. He brings nothing to the table aside from the status of being a retired Cub. He stinks out loud. There. I feel better.

Maine doesn't look like he has his best stuff tonight. He's staked to a lead but he's going to have to work to get through 5-6 innings, at this rate.

I barely recognize these guys. But that's a good thing.

I'm guessing: he gets up, takes a shower drives to the ballpark, takes a shower before changing into pre-game duds does his pre-game routine, takes a shower after the game, takes a shower goes home, takes a shower before bed. Those are five. Not sure where he fits in six and seven. Six could be on the nights he has sex with Mrs. Hershiser I suppose but I'm not sure about seven. As to whether he'd be a good manager, maybe if he didn't spend so much time in the shower. Yet I like the idea of him giving a starter the hook, telling them "Hit the showers, Ollie. I'll meet you in there."

Nicely done. I am a fan of many of those old films and there are a few that I have not seen that sound interesting.

Benjamin Grimm wrote: ="smg58"]Good analysis. I have to say the D-Backs scare me. We really only have to worry about Arizona (most likely) if we play them in October. They should easily win the division, so they likely won't be a wild card rival for the Mets this season. And I'm a long way right now from being concerned about potential playoff rivals. I'm more concerned with the possibility of a weekend ass-kicking at their hands the next couple of days. The D-Backs are coming in 'en fuego' and the Mets are coming off a big shitty mess. OTOH the Mets have traditionally played well in the BOB or whatever it's called these days.

Ugh. What a blathering old ass he is. I want that 190 seconds of my life back please. The whole thing smacks of aged elitist idiots, resentful that someone without a journalism degree might, gasp, express an opinion for other people to read! Call the fucking Thought Police! Reason 53225 why I ignore just about every mainstream media these days. I'd like to punch that guy in the neck and call his sister a ****.

Nicely done sir. Owings' blast today, by the way, was an opposite-field jack.

Wow two fucking hits. That's it.

I'm always torn as to whether or not I should try to ignore the score and watch the game that night not knowing the outcome. Today I stumbled upon the score unintentionally and now I'm glad I did. Maybe I can get something else done tonight.
