Because he was found not guilty of lying to Congress does not mean he did not take steroids. He may have pitched well but he still a loser.

His next start for the Skeeters is the next step in the plan.

Anybody that can lie before Congress and get away with it is my hero!

Yet somehow now I find myself rooting for him. I hope he ends up back in Houston before the season ends… http://www.lucidsportsfan.com/2012_08_26_archive.html#5072702820634926499

Good thing they found him guilty and put him in jail. Oh wait…

If the court of public opinion mattered, you would get locked up for….

I might even go see him. All the Astros would do by bringing him in is prove that they are a circus sideshow for another couple of years. That’s kind of a Mendoza line for me. I want to buy into this whole rebuild thing. But once they start doing minor league stunts it’ll be a while before I am back.

Come on people show them you are not stupid and gullible and don’t buy a ticket for a cheap publicity stunt if they do this.

I think it would be neat to see what he has left in the tank. And yes, I think a 50 year old Clemens would be an upgrade over what the Astros are throwing on the mound every game. Theirs is a lost season, so why not give the fans a reason to go to the ballpark-whether they’re there to support him or boo him, it’ll be interesting. Baseball is supposed to be entertainment after all.

You need to listen to Uncle Tex more.

The guy lies, cheats, flips flops, and screws people over so much it is obvious he’s a shoo-in for the Presidency in 2016.

After that, Astros games might have a legit impact on the playoffs.
