I am actually rooting for Roger and the Astros. I never saw him as a sellout. I saw him as a man who wanted to complete his career with a World Series ring.
At the time, it was apparent the Red Sox managerial staff was not going to make it happen. So he left. The man is 40 something and is still one of the most formidable pitchers on the mound. If the Sox win tonight though, I must say I will be rooting for him in a different way though. Ray At 03:37 PM 10/20/2004, you wrote: >I personally have nothing but respect for Roger Clemens.
