Gregory Pratt Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I was very happy to see it. I have never liked Clemens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 This coverage makes me sick. They act like he has been out of baseball for years and is coming back. He just pitched in October and in March in the WBC. I was telling people at work that this will be Liriano's national coming out party and all he did was give up a weak ass homer.

Gregory Pratt Posted June 23, 2006 Author Share Posted June 23, 2006 A friend and I were watching and calling "Baseball Tonight" "Clemens Tonight" for the fact that 90 percent of their show was devoted to such things as "TEN GREATEST CLEMENS MOMENTS!" f*** them.

Chisoxfn Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I love Clemens. The guy is one of the greatest to ever play the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LowerCaseRepublican Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 Clemens is amazing. However, I didn't need BB2N giving me a 3-5 minute Jeff Brantley promo on how his hips, legs and arms help him pitch. It's getting to be overkill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxFan76 Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 I love Clemens. He's one of the best conditioned baseball players you will ever find. He's a fantastic pitcher who's still going strong at an old age. However, and I didn't see any of this coverage, I can only imagine after having to see all the Bonds crap during the 714 chase. I hate ESPN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dick Allen Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 QUOTE(SleepyWhiteSox @ Jun 23, 2006 -> 09:18 AM) Source? I will give Kruk a little credit. When Clemens was mowing down minor leaguers, he was slowing down the tape showing that Clemens had a different arm slot than last year, and that his legs basically weren't ready yet. Giving 43 year old pitchers $12 million for 3 1/2 months is very risky, even when they have special "workouts". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benchwarmerjim Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 the only dominant pitcher in last nights game was Fransisco Liriano and he got little to no coverage on ESPN from what I saw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NUKE_CLEVELAND Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 ESPN does annoy me sometimes but they aren't quite as terrible as people ( including myself sometimes ) make them out to be. That being said I think the coverage of the return of Clemens is a bit overdone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
