Know what would improve that photo? A grassfire.
Maybe for another perspective, ya'll should read the ESPN article on the same event, or he already totally branded as an asshole in this case? Hell, that article says in one place, "was asked to leave a Triple Crown World Series tournament game at Loudy-Simpson Saturday after arguing a call with an umpire. " and then "Clemens allegedly spit sunflower seeds at the umpire's leg. The umpire told Clemens to leave, and Carpenter was asked to intervene." Sounds like if they don't know of he got ejected for a) argueing, b) spitting a sunflower, or c) both. In the ESPN article, it says Clemens wasn't even sure of what was going on and didn't argue. Hmmmmmmmmmmm
I hate to side with Clemens, but the ESPN account makes it sound like the umpire may have just heard it loudly from all the fans and picked Roger out at random. Plus it sounds like Clemens acted completely calmly after being pitched, something I can guarantee you most baseball aprents don't do in any situation. Having said that ... he's still a freaking punk.
There are so many inconsistencies in these stories that I'm forced to dismiss the whole event. (However, he's still a jackass.)
All his children have stupid K names and, apparently, he makes his children all were the same shoes. They should have no individual identity other than being a child of Roger Clemens. Also, it's pretty clear he doesn't let his wife go to the bathroom until they are damn well done taking pictures.
Know what would improve that photo? A grassfire. Best post ever.
This may be a case of an umpire overreacting.
The future Hall-of-Famer was away from the Houston Astros, as his team allows him to be when he's not pitching. A lot of teams don't handle this kind of star system very well. I wonder if it's affecting the disappointing season in Houston.
After reading clemen's account of the situation, I also have to side with him. Cus, you know, when clemens says something, you can take it to the bank. His word is as good as gold!
Ooooh! Good one, justgary!
