THIS SPORTING STRIFE; ROGER GETS A HAND, AND A HANDFUL

    Yankee haters, and Red Sox lovers sometimes, believe
it or not, the same folks have a right to be annoyed with New York’s
signing of Roger Clemens.  The Yanks have made the ultimate
mercenary move with the ultimate mercenary player but . . . we at Faux
News Network love it.  Hey, among other things, it’s the classic
complete sentence which is not a complete truth.  Consider the
“free agent” Yankees probable rotation; Chein Ming Wang, Mike Mussina,
Andy Pettitte, Roger Clemens, Philip Hughes, and as swing man, Darrell
Rassner, the ultimate import group, right, or maybe.  Because
Wang, Pettitte (a resign), Hughes, and Rassner, are actually Yankee
products; who knew that?  Now, you folks
do.                         


                                                                                             


    The Red Sox, currently the best team in baseball
have a
rotation of Kurt Schilling, Josh Beckett, Dice K. (can’t spell it), Tim
Wakefield, and Julian Taverez, an entirely home grown bunch, right,
except for Schilling, Beckett, Dice K, Wakefield and Taverez.  But
the old town Boston team does have at least 3 farm products on the
major league roster, another complete sentence; because the Yankees'
squad, with the highest payroll in the major leagues, happens to have
many more than 3
from their system; and that’s a pretty complete truth.
