Roger The Great Isn’t Going To The Olympics…
Wow, Roger Clemens isn’t going to the Olympics, nor is welcome on the team — I wonder why.
Roger Clemens isn’t welcome on the U.S. Olympic baseball team.
U.S. general manager Bob Watson said Wednesday that he isn’t considering the 45-year-old right-hander for his roster for the Beijing Games.
“From my standpoint, we don’t need that type of distraction,” Watson said.
In addition to his duties as vice president of on-field operations for Major League Baseball, Watson is general manager of professional baseball operations for USA Baseball and works to select manager Davey Johnson’s roster.
A former GM of the Houston Astros and New York Yankees, Watson said he didn’t anticipate being overruled by higher-ups.
“I have not talked to the commissioner. I have not talked to [MLB chief operating officer] Bob DuPuy, nor have I talked to his agent, but I just think the distraction that he’s carrying right now, from my standpoint, we don’t need that,” Watson said.
Look I don’t want to piss on someone or wish them bad luck, but I am kind of glad Clemens’ lying, posturing is coming back to nip him in the butt. Sorry, we all have had out share of hero worship, and it’s about time that he doesn’t get his way.
He’s a fraud, and the Olympic team does not need a distraction like him around.
