Just saw an interview with US Softball cleanup hitter Crystl Bustos:

BEIJING – Pitchers who fool Crystal Bustos once should consider themselves lucky.

Trying to do it a second time is just plain stupid.

Bustos is called the Babe Ruth of softball for her home run prowess. She also draws comparisons to the Babe for being a character and for being slightly rotund, to put it mildly.

Sure she’s big and strong and a power hitter. But if you listen to her - she sounds like a he. A deeper voice than Mike Piazza. And her dad! And I’m not the only one to notice.

Sad thing is, at this point she’s probably a better power hitter than Piazza!

Just saying!

HAHAHAHA Brutus The Barber Beefcake’s wife? Oh this is hilarious now. Especially after almost every myopian baseball reporter tried to paint Barry Bonds as the next Charles Manson and how his testimony in Congress broke down into partisan bullshit with some Republican congressmen calling him a hero. Put this in your hypocritic family values pipe and smoke it!

Roger Clemens Can’t Keep The Rocket in his Pants

Roger Clemens is going to need to come up with a better defense to accusations that he lied about using steroids than, “I am a consummate family man who doesn’t lie or cheat about anything.” From the way things are shaking out, it’s unclear if Roger has any female friends he didn’t try to fly around the country on his private jet and sleep with at one point. In addition to country singer Mindy McCready, real estate agent Angela Moyers, some yet-unnamed ladies, and the wife of ex-pro wrestler Brutus ‘the Barber’ Beefcake (she actually shot him down), the Daily News is now reporting that Clemens had a relationship with Paulette Dean Daly, the ex-wife of drunk golfer John Daly. 

Daly didn’t deny the allegations, other than to say, “I’m really uncomfortable talking about this.” Probably because Clemens and her husband, a talented golfer who has long battled an alcohol problem, are good friends. Paulette actually left Daly two weeks after he checked into a rehab program in 1997; her relationship with Clemens supposedly started sometime after that.

It’s pretty clear that at this point, Clemens would be wise to drop the defamation of character suit he filed in January against his former trainer Brian McNamee. There’s really not much character left to, you know, defend, but there’s a whole lot more left to defame. The Daily News‘ legal expert Ernest Nargi offers up this advice to the Rocket’s attorney: “If Roger was my client, I’d say, ‘Look, let’s sit down and find out what’s out there. How many women are there? A girl a day? Every 15 minutes is one going to materialize from a bar or a trailer?’ Hardin needs to find out what’s out there.”

I must admit - I was surprised at the long list of names:

Brady Anderson, Manny Alexander, Rick Ankiel, Jeff Bagwell, Barry Bonds, Aaron Boone, Rafael Betancourt, Bret Boone, Milton Bradley, David Bell, Dante Bichette, Albert Belle, Paul Byrd, Wil Cordero, Ken Caminiti, Mike Cameron, Ramon Castro, Jose Canseco, Ozzie Canseco, Roger Clemens, Paxton Crawford, Wilson Delgado, Lenny Dykstra, Johnny Damon…

…Carl Everett, Kyle Farnsworth, Ryan Franklin, Troy Glaus, Rich Garces, Jason Grimsley, Juan Gonzalez, Eric Gagne, Nomar Garciaparra, Jason Giambi, Jeremy Giambi, Jose Guillen, Jay Gibbons, Juan Gonzalez, Clay Hensley, Jerry Hairston, Felix Heredia, Jr., Darren Holmes, Wally Joyner, Darryl Kile, Matt Lawton, Raul Mondesi, Mark McGwire, Guillermo Mota, Robert Machado, Damian Moss, Abraham Nunez…

…Trot Nixon, Jose Offerman, Andy Pettitte, Mark Prior, Neifi Perez, Rafael Palmiero, Albert Pujols, Brian Roberts, Juan Rincon, John Rocker, Pudge Rodriguez, Sammy Sosa, Scott Schoenweiss, David Segui, Alex Sanchez, Gary Sheffield, Miguel Tejada, Julian Tavarez, Fernando Tatis, Maurice Vaughn, Jason Varitek, Ismael Valdez, Matt Williams, Kerry Wood.

But I’m glad someone finally exposed Roger Clemens for the testosterone-shooting roider that he is.

Maybe now these myopic baseball fans who want to string up and asterisk Barry Bonds as the lone gunman will now see that the entire sport is on roids and that it’s the era that needs exposing, not just one guy. I’ve already heard people criticizing the report for being too light on specific situations or not taking into account the people who slipped through the cracks. Hello?? The union prevented the players from talking! Way to go guys - continue to circle the wagons and drive the sport into the ground. Real baseball fans should see this as a positive and should thank Jose Canseco (a Hall of Famer in my eyes) for exposing the truth because if it weren’t for his book, nothing would have been done.

BTW - I heard that Canseco tried to get into the press conference where they revealed the report, but was turned away. C’mon - let the father see his baby! Now - I’m going to read the only Mitchell Report I care about.

Good Reading over at SVP Style on what should happen, why nothing will happen, and other random thoughts.
