The Rocket and the Farns

[NCCubFan]

wasn't it farnsworth that took naps in the clubhouse during games a few years back?

Yep. I think that was part of the circumstances leading to his demise as a Cub.

Dude, you knew you were going to pitch -- freaking get in shape so you don't have to cost your club millions while you train, cost the millions while you don't freaking play for 2 months, etc, etc.

 

In rare defense of Roger, if the reports are to be believed, he maintains a vigorous physical training regimen during the offseason. You can work out as hard as you want, but there's no substitute for facing live hitters, even if it is just 60 pitches against a Class A team, and he can't face live hitters until he signs a contract with an organization. But yeah, the half-season schtick gets old, no doubt.

 

 

It's a shame he's too sexy for Spring Training :)

You can't fault him there. It happened to me many times as well :)

Good for Farnsworth. I'd pay big money to see Farnsworth body slam Coger to the ground.

 

I would prefer to see Nolan Ryan do it, Robin Ventura style.

 

Roger would cry like a little girl.

If I were Farns, I would've taken advantage of this, get tips and pointers from Clemens, and actually learned how to pitch.

You mean in between innings, the only time Clemens will actually be with the team?

 

Or perhaps in the shower, right before he towels off and scrams for the airport to get back to Texas until his next start?

I used to nap during the middle innings when Milo Hamilton was in the tv booth.

I would take Farnsworth over Clemens in a fight as long as there are no fans in the room.

There are many reasons I detest Clemens. The special treatment he gets is one. If I were a teammate, I'd hate his guts simply because he's really not a team player. For the second straight year, he's pulled this BS of "I'm not gonna pitch til May." Dude, you knew you were going to pitch -- freaking get in shape so you don't have to cost your club millions while you train, cost the millions while you don't freaking play for 2 months, etc, etc.

 

 

The guy is a first ballot hall of famer and top 5 pitcher of all time. He's a top 5 douchebag as well.

 

If Clemens knows his body can;t hold up for a full season (I hear he's a little older than the average player), doesn't it make sense to save some for the end of the season rather than run out of gas in August?
