And I'm not surprised at all about your comments about Roger Clemens and David Wells. Clemens is a douchebag, and Wells had a poor attitude(I still recall the hissy fit he threw towards Cito Gaston when he pulled Wells out of a game...I think that he's lucky Gaston didn't pop his head off like a cork!)

shadows, my friend, calling Clemens a douchebag is really out of line. I know many perfectly genuine douchebags who would reject this comparison out of hand, because it insults them to have someone like Clemens associated with their ilk. I think he is in a class of his own.
