From the NY Daily News: Roger Clemens, whose claims he never took steroids are under federal investigation, has apparently discovered the benefits of another performance-enhancing drug sweeping the sports world - Viagra. Clemens stashed the clearly marked, diamond-shaped pills in a GNC vitamin bottle in his locker at Yankee Stadium, according to a source familiar with the clubhouse... Clemens wasn't alone. The pitcher, who is believed to have scored the drug from a teammate, joined the burgeoning number of athletes who have turned Vitamin V and its over-the-counter substitutes into one of the hottest drugs in locker rooms.

I've been following Roger Clemens since about the time he was pitching for Pawtucket, and today I've reached an important milestone. I now officially have gotten more pleasure out of his post-retirement than I did his career in Boston. I know it sounds like a stretch; he pitched for the Sox for over a decade, won three Cy Youngs and an MVP, but none of that was as much fun as watching his life after baseball implode like a demolished building. Even at his best, Clemens was prickly, stupid, self-absorbed and difficult to root for. But as a stereotype of a buffoony, fraudulent phoney who stumbles from one public humiliation to another, he's a first ballot Hall of Famer.

But there's no way I'm buying this spin that Clemens was using Viagra to help his fastball. He took them because it's hard to get an erection when the only person who really turns you on is yourself. And Clemens had a long list of people he needed to sexually satisfy. Debbie, Mindy McCready, Paulette Daly, Suzyn Waldman, Andy Pettite , Peter Gammons, George King and Joe Torre just to name a few. This Viagra story is just another reason to be glad Clemens left Boston when he did, because in this town, we prefer our pitchers to be able to get their own erections any time, not just on MLB paydays like Clemens. I guess we can stop calling him "Rocket" now.
