Roger Clemens Still Mowing Down The Competition At 50

Roger Clemens is a guy you either love or hate and many times I think that is the way he likes it sometimes. Clemens pitched 3 1-3 scoreless innings for the Sugar Land Skeeters of the Independent Atlantic League. At age 50 Roger Clemens did look very good. When asked about a major league comeback he said no, but sometimes it makes you wonder. Why would a man come out and pitch for a team like this just for fun?

Scouts from Kansas City and Houston were in attendance to watch Roger Clemens pitch. Clemens said he enjoyed pitching in front of the 7,000 plus fans. In the end, we really have no idea why Roger Clemens is pitching at this level. Maybe it is for the enjoyment and giving back to the fans. I think there happens to be an underlying reason in all of this in the end.

Clemens has always wanted to get to the Baseball Hall Of Fame and he knows right now that is probably not likely. Maybe a year in the Major Leagues again may give some credence to that for him. I guess we will just have to wait and see how this all plays out. We did learn Roger Clemens can still pitch well at the age of 50.

Tiger Woods Ready To Start New Golf Chapter

Tiger Woods says he feels better now than he has in years. It is great to say that, but will your golf game be the same way. Tiger has been recuperating for an assortment of injuries, so we will have to see if he is as good as he wants the public to believe. Woods fired his long-time caddie Steve Williams and has an old-time friend caddie for him. Now I think Woods will miss Williams a lot, but we will have to wait and see if it works out that way.

It has been nearly two years since Woods last won, and he's dealt with swing and injury issues for most of the interim. A year ago at this very tournament, Woods seemingly hit rock bottom when he shot 18-over par and finished 30 strokes behind winner Hunter Mahan. No matter what Tiger Woods tells himself or others it will all come down to what he does on the course. If he has a rough day he may pull the plug on his return early. We will have to wait and see how it works out for him.
