The Dugout: New Years Rocket Eve

The New Years Eve edition of the Dugout could've very easily been Delmon and Dmitri Young choking the hell out of a Baby New Year, but I wanted to see the "Roger Clemens Implicated In The Mitchell Report" graphic one more time before the ball dropped. Hello again, old friend.

For the next rotted rung on the Roger Clemens Ladder to Hell, a Houston area hospital has decided to remove Roger's name from the sports medicine institute he paid for. You couldn't remove Roger's name from that report to the right? You couldn't remove it from Mindy McCready's (assumedly) gigantic 80s looking Zack Morris cell phone?

The last Dugout of the year is after the jump.

The Dugout

OldLOL: /wipes open wound with cotton ball

2008 was the worst year of my life, but i'm tellin ya, randy, 2009 is my year

RandyHendricksExperience: You don't say.
OldLOL: yep, i would be able to feel it in my bones if i could look down at my body and tell where any of them were
OldLOL: already getting excited for the roger clemens national celebrity golf tournament, i got a driver cover that looks like a dogs diagonal ass
RandyHendricksExperience: Bad news about the golf tournament, Rocket.
OldLOL: oh no did joanna "jojo" levesque pull out
RandyHendricksExperience: Ehh, no. The Shadow Hawk Golf Club has declined your offer to host, they're moving on with you.

OldLOL: what

is it because of all the drugs i did

RandyHendricksExperience: It doesn't say, but in the press release they call you a rapist and threaten to break your spine.

OldLOL: i bet its because of john daly

that guy looks like brett favre on the axiom, its aint my fault his wife stumbled into my thrusting crotch

OldLOL: allegedly stumbled into my thrusting crotch
RandyHendricksExperience: I'm still trying to understand how Roger Clemens could be a physical upgrade.

OldLOL: no seriously he looks like the fat guy from heavyweights, i bet he smokes ham in those cigarettes

OldLOL: at least we still have the roger clemens-themed restaurant

"quaker steak & roger clemens"

RandyHendricksExperience: At least you let me change it from "Roger Clemens & Lube." But no, bad news about that, too.
OldLOL: oh great do they suddenly not allow drug abuse in restaurants either
RandyHendricksExperience: The restaurant plans have been scrapped, our developers didn't like you being in a relationship with a 15-year old girl.
OldLOL: but now where will houston area diners be able to get a 9 dollar basket of sh*ty mozzarella sticks

OldLOL: thats disappointing, we were gonna put up roger clemens memorabilia

mcnamee said he had boxes and boxes of my old stuff, we were gonna staple it all to the walls for the peoples to enjoy

RandyHendricksExperience: I don't think the families would've enjoyed seeing your needles and scabby ass-swabs, Rocket.
RandyHendricksExperience: Besides, if people wanted blood and strange chemicals dripping into their food they could just eat at a Chili's.
OldLOL: man i busted my big wet ass at baseball for 20+ years is this all i'm gonna be remembered for, drugs and teen sex
OldLOL: who am i, miley cyrus

OldLOL: no way
RandyHendricksExperience: They're taking your name off starting January 1st, "to better reflect its commitment to all sports and athletes."
OldLOL: since when has a hospital given a sh** about what mindy mccready does
OldLOL: my name is coming off completely??
RandyHendricksExperience: Well sure. What're they going to call it, the "Rog Emens Institute?"
OldLOL: i would rather them call it the "roger clemens is a fat gay institute of rapeology" or something than take my name completely off
OldLOL: i helped out a lot of people with the money i gave them, a lot of people have had a second chance because i decided to do somethin selfless with the blessings i'd been given
RandyHendricksExperience: For once.
OldLOL: yeah for once, but for once for real
