No contending team would be the least bit interested in Roger Clemens. Too much of a distraction, and certainly not performing well enough at this stage of his career to offset the drama.

And as for Barry or Roger? Neither.

If the Cubs are going to go after a 350-game winner, it will be Greg Maddux. The Cubs may not even do that. Bonds or Clemens? Mussolini or Hitler? If I had to choose, I think Bonds would have slightly more value as a DH in the AL than Clemens would have as a pitcher. However, neither one will play in the majors again. It’s a moot point.

However, if the Cubs were FORCED to sign one of them, I’d have to go with Clemens. Typically, I’d go with a fielder who can help the team every day as opposed to a pitcher who only has the chance to help every 5. But Bonds has become such a poor fielder that I’m not convinced that the runs he’d cost the team in the field would offset what he’d produce at the plate.

Would I rather be kicked in the face, or kicked in the face and not play left field?

Seriously, neither. Even if we were in dire need of someone I wouldn’t want either of those two cancers. Thankfully, we don’t even need em.

what would have been your reaction had some asked Bonds, Clemens or Edmonds?

This is just the type of fanpost that will prompt BCB reader Eddie Haskell (BlueMike) to ask for the Cubs to please get Roger. JUST to incite a near riot

But you were serious. You can’t be serious. Cross this off the list. The chances are less than zero.

Your wanted in the comments section here to let us know how much we need Roger Clemens and to tell Jim Hendry to “just do it!”

Even, if he could still pitch , which he can’t he is walking media mess that
would be a disaster for the Cubs. If you don’t think our starting pitching is good enough
there will plenty better than a lying asshole to choose from. Think Maddux is too old or
he does not want to leave CA, go for Wolf, Burnett, Francis or any decent pitcher from
the teams that will be selling in a month or so. Cubs have pieces to trade if that is what
they want but no one will touch Clemens.

wavering from every pore. I have to hold my nose just thinking about it.

Not ever, not knowhow!

I started to get gas pains while reading this post. I think it’d be safer for any team to bring in Barry Bonds right now than Roger Clemens.

All that needs to be said is right here… No Way!

I was right.

The idea alone made me throw up in my mouth a little.

Sure, it was only the roids and let’s face it, that’s nothing but a witch hunt (can you say McCarthy) so the good ol’ boys can make a CYA attempt.

Now, with the Mindy thing and all…oooh that’s just too much.
