AP040516010549.jpgObligatory Mitchell Report-related post: Nestled inside the many, many pages of the Congressional investigation into steroids and baseball was the news that the oh-so-charming pitcher Roger Clemens (pictured) was allegedly “injected … in the buttocks four to six times with testosterone from a bottle labeled either Sustanon 250 or Deca-Durabolin.” Why is this music-related, you may ask? Because this news clearly calls for a Clemens megamix of “What What (In The Butt).” I’m pretty much dead serious here. [Newsday / Photo: AP]

    The image of Clemens chewing down on a chocolate heart is…well, where to begin.

    Why are people always singling out the evil Yankee empire? Steinbrenner’s gone. Jeesh.

    @rhythmchyc: Clemens’ assholery stretches far, far past his Yankee career.

    @maura:

    CNN mentioned Andy Pettite too. Hot Damn.

    But, come on, if I was pumped with testosterone that often I’d be a racist, lazy, raging maniac too.

    Clemens? C’mon, you know that what the world really needs is Samwell Sosa.

    (This will hopefully be the full extent of my “combine pop musician name with baseball player name” activities in the near future.)

    Did they really need a report that took nearly 2 years and likely cost millions of dollars to tell us that the guy in that picture is on the juice?

    @maura: In his Red Sox days, I saw him
    pulling into the parking lot of a celebrity golf tournament and ran
    over to get his autograph. He looks around, thinks about it, then says,
    “Sorry kid, if I gave you one then I’d have to give one to everybody.”

    There wasn’t another person within 200 yards of us.

    @extracrispy:

    Of course! The owners weren’t going to scapegoat themselves, now, were they? And their record-breaking profits meant they just had that much more money to throw around, since — contrary to all appearances — it wasn’t going to players.

    Sorry…I’m a baseball nerd and a music geek. I rarely get the chance to combine the two.

    Maura, so are you happy not to be working for mlb.com right about now?
