Wait, what? It's not an exterminator company? I just saw Skeeter and assumed it meant he was going to be spraying mosquito killer down there in Texas. I hear they have skeeters the size of Dubya's ego.
The popular theory is that Roger Clemens wants to reset the clock on the five year waiting period to be added to the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. If things stay as is, Clemens would be eligible this winter along with fellow "presumed" (yeah, I don't just presume) cheaters Barry Bonds and Sammy Sosa.
Clemens final big league game was September 16, 2007 in his second stint with the Yankees. Next up will be this Saturday as a member of the Sugar Land Skeeters in the Independent Atlantic League. He won't be the only former big leaguer on the Skeeters. Former stand out Scott Kazmir landed there after his MLB career went kaput. Former Nats reliever Gary Majewski is there along with former Yankees Heath Phillips (DL) and Tim Redding. The team is managed by former Minnesota Twin Gary Gaetti.
Clemens will face the Bridgeport (CT) Bluefish and at least one Major League team will be scouting the 50-year old- no, not the Yankees, but another pne of his former teams, the Houston Astros.
Clemens has been quoted as saying he simply wants to have fun and hopes the fans do too. It should be interesting to say the least.
