[RedEarth]

Great example Roger...you should be proud of yourself...


CRAIG, Colo. - Houston Astros (news) pitcher Roger Clemens was asked to leave a youth baseball game over the weekend for arguing a close call that went against his son's team.

Clemens was at the game Saturday watching his son, Kacy, compete in a 10-and-under game organized by Triple Crown Sports when Clemens contested a call at second base that went against the Katy Cowboys.


He spit sunflower seeds at an umpire's leg and was asked to leave, said Jim Carpenter, a field supervisor with Triple Crown.

1. I love it!

What a great role model he is! :eyes:

2. 10 and under? Way to go Roger. Nice example. Ban him for the season. I

am not kidding. These hyper-involved parents ruin the game for everyone, especially the kids. No excuse for spitting on an umpire. None.

3. I never liked him much but after the Mike Piazza incidents

I really don't care for him.

Oh, the humanity!

6. Dupe, moved by the moderator from LBN.

Why do moderators move threads from LBN to The Lounge, even when those threads are already going in The Lounge? Why not just lock it and refer people to the thread in The Lounge?
