The Rocket Roger Clemens is sorry that he's so fucked this 2008 MLB baseball season.
The Rocket finally apologized.
After going through a butt-load of steroids allegations, New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens apologized Monday for his wrongdoings in his personal life.
News broke out last week that Roger Clemens had a decade-long relationship with country star Mindy McCready that began when she was 15 and an aspiring singer. In addition, the report also linked the seven-time Cy Young Award winner to former Manhattan bartender Angela Moyer and Paulette Dean Daly, a former wife of champion golfer John Daly.
''Even though these articles contain many false accusations and mistakes, I need to say that I have made mistakes in my personal life for which I am sorry,'' Roger Clemens said in a statement issued by spokesman Patrick Dorton.
''I have apologized to my family and apologize to my fans. Like everyone, I have flaws. I have sometimes made choices which have not been right.'' Roger Clemens denied having an affair with a 15-year-old but didn't specifically address whether he had a romantic relationship with McCready.
Brian McNamee, Roger Clemens' former trainer, accused the pitcher in December's Mitchell Report of using performance-enhancing drugs in 1998, 2000 and 2001, before players and owners agreed to ban them from baseball.
Clemens, a 354-game winner, has repeatedly denied using steroids and human growth hormone. The defamation suit is being contested in federal court in Houston.
''I believe my personal life has nothing to do with the accusations of steroid and HGH use,'' Roger Clemens said. ''I have already made clear that I did not use them. Now, I have been accused of having an improper relationship with a 15-year old girl. Nothing could be further from the truth. This relationship has been twisted and distorted far beyond reality. It is just one of many, many accusations that are utterly false.''
He he... I wouldn't want to trade lives with this poor dude. He sure has a lot on his mind these days.
Roger Clemens' lawyer, Rusty Hardin, said last week he will talk with his client about whether to proceed with the defamation suit following the wave of unpleasant publicity.
''He's getting pummeled,'' Hardin said. ''I've never seen somebody get beat up like this. In some ways, I think we're on uncharted ground. That's always a decision the client has to make. That's not the lawyer's decision.''
