The first outing of Roger Clemens’ return to professional baseball at age 50 was surprisingly successful, so Clemens agreed for a second go-round with the Sugarland Skeeters.  With his son Koby behind the plate as his backstop, Roger Clemens threw 4 2/3 scoreless innings, throwing 33 strikes in 52 pitches and giving up only 2 hits in a 4-0 win over the Long Island Ducks in front of a record crowd of 8597 at Constellation Field in Sugarland, Texas.  Clemens earned the W in his second start with Sugarland, while Koby hit a double in four at-bats as the game’s catcher.

It was a great night for father and son, just don’t expect it to be the last tune-up before a return to Major League Baseball.

“I don’t see that happening, because I know my recovery time right now and I think I pushed my body and my shoulder to where it needs to be.  And so, again, I don’t see that happening.  It would be fun.  There’s no reason why I couldn’t do it next year,” says Clemens, who punctuated his appearance for Sugarland by sharing a hug with his catcher/son on the mound.  “I haven’t done that (hugged his catcher), and I’ve never been driven to the ballpark by my batterymate, either.  It was nice having somebody to chauffeur you to the ballpark.  All in all, it was a great night and a really special night for me. … I’ve had some great backstops, and now I can add my son to the list.”

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.
