Clemens Named in Baseball Steroid Report
The Express Uncork Some Fireworks... And The Rocket
Poor New Orleans Zephyrs. The team probably hoped to play a solid game tonight, then head out for some victory beers afterwards. Then the pitching rotation is announced, and oh, snap! The Round Rock Express will utilize the services of seven-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens to obliterate their opponents tonight at the Dell Diamond. The traditional Friday night fireworks at the Diamond should be a fitting cap to a rare night with a legend in a small ballpark.
Happy Birthday, Rocket
Austinist extends our best wishes to Texas legend Roger Clemens today, his 43rd birthday. Clemens is defying age and science once again in another performance worthy of the Cy Young Award. Clemens, a seven-time winner of the award, is putting up mind boggling numbers, as he and the other Astros' starters have propelled the team to the top of the Wild Card pack. Wrap your minds around these numbers:
That Wretched Smell Wafting Up from the Gulf? The 2005 Houston (dis)Astros
The Houston Astros fought back from the middle of the pack last summer to finish with their best August-September run in franchise history and make a run deep into the National League playoffs, inspiring the Bayou City during the dog days of summer. Roger Clemens, after years of grandstanding and hemming and hawing about wanting to be closer to family, had finally come home and, on his way to his seventh Cy Young Award, sold out Minute Maid Park practically each time he took the mound.
