Roger Clemens is missed!

The pain of it! The sports page today is all about Roger winning his 18th game of the season. In Providence the "home team " is still the Boston Redsox. In Maine too–ask Stephen King.

Not since Babe Ruth was sold to the Yankees has there been a greater betrayal of the FANS. A four time Cy winner-yes he'll get it-given an ignominious ADIOS by Boston management !

A big motivation to go to Fenway Park-one of a few classic ball parks left-is gone.

When my nephew Nick was a young little league pitcher (he looked a little like a young Roger Clemens; and could throw a little like him too) I warned him that the Boston Red Sox specialized in breaking the hearts of the fans. The 1986 World Series is just one bad memory!

Now he is 18 and knows just what I mean!
