"Disconfirmed": Evil will always triumph, because good is dumb.
Exhibit A: Sox win, Steinbrenner loses. OK, one example isn't enough.
Exhibit B: Roger Clemens loses.
It's funny how Roger Clemens has united three completely unrelated fan bases.
After he left for Toronto, and suddenly remembered how to be a great pitcher, Boston Red Sox fans made him public enemy number one. He only got worse when he put on the pinstripes.
New York Mets fans and Boston Red Sox fans have always had a decent amount in common I've felt, but 1986 really put a hurting on that relationship for many people. But when Clemens beaned Piazza in the head, Yankee-hating took on a whole new level for Mets fans, and Clemens was at the center of it.
Yankee fans were always quick to defend fat Roger during his Yankee days, but when he "un-retired" it did not take long for Yankee fans to turn on him, and rightly so.
So amazingly, Roger Clemens has united fans from NJ, NY, CT, RI, MA, NH, VT, and ME in one common belief:
We agree that he is an arrogant, fat, self-centered, money-hungry choke-artist.
