The Roger Clemens comeback train rolls onward, apparently.

The Rocket has a little more gas in the tank, it appears.  The 50-year-old pitcher Roger Clemens made a comeback appearance with the Sugar Land Skeeters and was impressive, throwing 3 1/2 scoreless innings and striking out two in a game against the Bridgeport Bluefish.  Well, that one taste of baseball wasn’t enough, apparently.  Roger Clemens is going to pitch again for the Sugar Land Skeeters, taking the mound for a September 7 tilt against the Long Island Ducks in an Atlantic League showdown.

Randy Hendricks, Clemens’ agent, says the Rocket has an understanding with Sugar Land to pitch again.  Despite being 50 and not making an appearance in the Major Leagues for 5 years, Clemens was able to pitch effectively, working in an 88 MPH fastball and effective breaking pitches against the AA to AAA-level hitting of the Bluefish.  Not surprising Clemens is going to pitch again.  He’ll probably keep pitching until he either A) gets back onto the roster of a Major League Baseball team or B) gets shelled and retires to preserve his own dignity.

Either way, the Skeeters will take it, if only because it’ll put butts in seats.

I’ve never had a problem eating food from a gas station.  Just two weeks ago, I ate a couple of hot dogs purchased from a gas station.  They were delicious.  That’s not the first time I’ve eaten gas station food, and I doubt it will be the last.  There’s nothing like a fun food novelty. […]

Commissioner Roger Goodell gathered 32 NFL owners for one big question.  One of the league’s most wanderlust-stricken franchises is looking to move again.  The Oakland-Los Angeles-Oakland Raiders, tired of gutting it out in a run-down stadium, were once again looking for greener pastures.  Only the Miami Dolphins refused to cooperate.  With a vote of 31-1, […]

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
