detlef Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 A friend e-mailed me this bit from Tom Verducci's book... Much has been made of Tom Verducci's book The Yankee Years, scheduled to be released Feb. 3rd, where Joe Torre rips current and former Yankees personnel. There have already been several snippets of the book that have leaked out, including where Torre reveals Alex Rodriguez's nickname in the Yankees clubhouse was A-Fraud. One of the most memorable parts of the book that hasn't made it out yet is a bizarre story about Roger Clemens, and how he prepared for starts. The story comes courtesy of Yankee trainer Steve Donahue who told Verducci about what Roger Clemens did as part of his usual routine to get ready for facing the Mets in Game 2 of the 2000 World Series. Donahue said Clemens’ usual pregame preparation included taking a whirlpool bath at the hottest temperature possible. “He’d come out looking like a lobster,” Donahue said. But here's the money quote: 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.” Man, talk about way too much information. That must be why Roger was such a crotchety bastard on the mound. Well, that and the steroids. There's not much else that could shock me about Clemens anymore, but this definitely did the trick.

driveby Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 You couldn't pay me enough to rub cream on Rogers nads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
detlef Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 You couldn't pay me enough to rub cream on Rogers nads. That's what I was thinking. Let alone how freaking weird it is that he wanted icy hot rubbed on his balls. Why you gotta have someone else do it? Can't you just take care of that yourself?

detlef Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Why the hell would Donahue admit to being Clemens' fluffer? If I did that, I'd go home and cry in the shower, but I would tell NO ONE! "How was your day honey?" "I don't wanna talk about it." "Really? What happened?" "Seriously. I just want to be left alone."

untateve Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 You couldn't pay me enough to rub cream on Rogers nads. What if I offered you $100 Million Dollars to take care of me for the season? You figure, that's only about 25-30 starts. Are you sure I couldn't pay you enough? You could wear surgical gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure I couldn't pay you enough? You could wear surgical gloves. You wanna offer me $100 million dollars to apply some stupid lotion to a Major League Pitcher? Knowing full well it has nothing to do with homosexuality of any sort? And I get to wear gloves? What say probably 2-3 minutes tops 25-30 times a year? SOLD!!!
