Before Game 7 I was hoping that some DBack player hit a rocket ( no pun intended) off Roger's shin and take him out of the game. Then I was talking with friend who reminded me of something the Bat chucker did.
Back in the mid 90's we had a power outage during a storm. A local kid lit some candles to do some homework that night and fell asleep with them still burning. Somehow the kid knocked the candle over in the middle of the night, his room caught fire and he was severly burned.
Some how Roger was informed of what happened to the kid in our home town and heard the he was the kids favorite pitcher. ( I guess it was before he mailed it in). Anyhow Clemens came down from Boston to visit the kid in the hospital, and then when he got better, he went to the middle school and gave a speach and signed autographs for the kids.
Anyhow I thought of what he did and I couldn't root against him. I wouldn't root for him, but I wouldn't knock him during the game. Don't get me wrong, I wanted the Dbacks to win, and I was glad that Rivera got the loss instead of Roger. Anyhow deep down, under all those mental problems, the guys got a heart, as small as it may be.
