clemensroger.jpgIn case you missed it yesterday, the New York Daily News released the story of Roger Clemens' alleged 10 year affair with country singer Mindy McCready (no, no.  not Randy Ready, Mindy McCready).  The hook in this storyline is the fact that the affair reportedly began when McCready was 15 YEARS OLD!  (!!!) 

Awesome. 
According to sources, Clemens was with his Red Sox teammates in a Fort Myers, Fla., bar when then-teenager McCready caught his eye. After Clemens threw a shirt with his and several teammates' signatures onstage, an introduction was made.

"It was love at first sight, no doubt about it," said a source with intimate knowledge of the relationship.

If this is true, then Roger Clemens is legally worse than Kobe Bryant (okay, a guilty Kobe Bryant).  If it's not true, Clemens will still be hated by the public, even though the story would be - and some cases is right now - brutally unfair.

As for McCready, they're so cute and vulnerable at that age:   
According to the source, McCready did not learn that Clemens was married to Debbie Clemens until McCready attended a baseball game with her two younger brothers and read Clemens' bio in the program. The source says that McCready was too young to be angered by the news that Clemens was taken.

McCready, who lives on a quiet, tree-lined street in Nashville, is attempting a career comeback following a string of legal and personal woes... "She's trying to get back to where she was early in her career," says Freeman, who is the executive producer on McCready's "Fallen Angel" documentary and her "Mending Mindy" reality series. "She's a great person, and this will help her get back in the good graces with the industry."

Yes, only in Hollywood n news of an affair with a Major League all star pitcher, 2-3 years of which may have been illegal, help a country singer return to prominence.  Never mind she was once arrested for prescription fraud, had a near-overdose while pregnant, was beaten by the father of her child and spent time in jail last year for allegedly hitting her mother in Florida - a direct violation of probation.

So yeah; the news of her and Roger will kick-start the career.  And all the while, we have no idea who the source is for the story. 

Wait.  I got an idea.  Click here... ... ... ...

I just can't read this without thinking about the Simpsons "Last Temptation of Homer" episode (where Homer's seduced by a hot chick named Mindy)...."Oh Mindy, you came and you gave without flaking, But I sent you Ben Gay...." and then, when Homer realizes his loyalty to Marge: "Oh Margie, you came and you found me a turkey, On my vacation away from worky." Hmmmm? Did Matt Groening know something the rest of us didn't when he created that episode??!!!

Certainly there is a goofier baseball card of Roger out there. Try this one: http://tinyurl.com/5j4cjl

He had done some serious drugs in his day, but nothing would top the surprising high when Bo McLaughlin randomly decided to smoke a rosin bag in the bullpen.
