Holy Mother of God: I realize some of us are not baseball fans, much less fans of the Rocket, but I thought this was a good story.

Roger Clemens is pitching for Texas in the final game of the College World Series. Ninth inning, tying run on second base. The coach comes out to the mound, but Clemens waves him away, refusing to leave the game. He gets the out and his teammates rush the field, but before they get to Clemens, he points to the sky and is heard spitting out, "You tested me, you mother fucker! Don't test me!"

I find that a nice contrast to athletes who are always giving praise to Jesus when they score a touchdown or sign a big fat contract. Not only does God not give a rat's ass about your career, he may, according to Roger, be working for the other team.
