Roger Clemens - Great Balls of Fire!

Posted by Fatt Boy on 1/30/09 at 12:59 am
Cue Jerry Lee Lewis...

Much has been made of Tom Verducci's book The Yankee Years, scheduled to be released Feb. 3rd. There have already been several snippets of the book that have come out. This one is on how Clemens would prepare for starts.

Verducci writes that Clemens’ usual pregame preparation included taking a whirlpool bath at the hottest temperature possible. “He’d come out looking like a lobster,” Yankee trainer Steve Donahue told Verducci. Donahue would then rub hot liniment (hot balm) all over Clemens’ body. “Then Donahue would rub the hottest possible liniment on his testicles. He’d start snorting like a bull,” the trainer said. “That’s when he was ready to pitch.”


Think I'm going to start my morning off like this from now on.....that way I'll be wide awake, energetic and ready to hit the ground running.

Interesting stat...

* The Magic went 3-1 against the Cavs last season and have won 4 of 5 and 6 of the last 8 meetings.

* Cleveland has lost 11 of its last 15 at Orlando.


Should be a good one. :popcorn:

That was the best overall production from the bench all year. While West and Tyson are out getting productve minutes from them is a big lus which hopefully will pay off down the stretch and into the playoffs.

Devin Brown, who stays in a hotel close to the Quarter, must have changed hotels and slept at a Hoiday Inn Express instead. He might need to make a new move there all together.

Peja has certainly got it going on again as of late and it couldn't have come at a better time.

Pearl has been successful everywhere he's been from Southern Indiana (231-46) to Wisconsin-Milwaukee 86-38) and now at Tennessee (89-29) and has never had a losing record in those 17 years.

I met Pearl (and Summitt) at a coaches clinic they were hosting at UT a few years ago. They were in the process of building a new practice facility. He's very personable and it's easy to see how kids like him and his style of play. I haven't seen to much of the Vols this year, but seems like their guard play will be the weak link this year. Also haven't see them use his "55" (1-2-1-1) full ct press as much nor his primary offense called "Cutters" and the uptempo game has slowed down. A lot of that falls back on the guards and what they can do.

Anyway, he's definitely turned that program around in just a few years and the expectations are high there. As far as taking them to a Final Four or winning it all, that may have to wait at least for now.

The program as a whole is turning the corner and its still evolving. I expected some success as far as wins were concerned going into conference play, but since then they have taken it to another level. Not too many fans would have thought they would have been 4-1 at this time in the SEC. Trent is getting a lot out of these guys and it seems they really like playing for him.
