The Rocket's new nickname
The Roger Clemens Family Traveling Show was in Lexington, Kentucky last night as the Rocket pitched three innings of a minor league game in preparation for returning to the Stros' rotation later this month. It will likely be the only game that Clemens pitches in this season that also features a wiper fluid promotion and a milking contest involving a ceramic cow.
By the way, Clemens' son, who plays third base for Lexington, has coined a new nickname for his father -- "Bernie Mac," the name of the actor who stars in the forgettable 2004 movie Mr. 3000, about a washed-up ballplayer who comes out of retirement to collect one last hit.

Interesting to note that I have heard the Rocket also spent some of his well deserved cashola on the lexington club house. It seems he fixed up their club house adding flat panel tv's, a cleaning crew, and leather recliners for the team. What a guy! :-)
