Cito Gaston has sharp words for Roger Clemens 

Post#1 » by oakleyselbows34 » Thu Apr 2, 2009 8:53 pm

Interesting.

"He's an a-----e himself. A complete a-----e," Gaston said with a chuckle. "And I'll say that loud, right in his face. It was all about him. Ain't about nobody else but him."

For the next five minutes Gaston, who is starting his first full season in his second stint as Jays' manager detailed the strained relationship with the star pitcher, who had signed with the Jays before the 1997 season after burning out with the Boston Red Sox.

Bautista outplays his contract by more than $70 million over the next four seasons (2013-2016).

It was time for Cito to leave when he did.

But having him come back like this is awesome. It's so refreshing for me to have a coach (manager) who is bigger than the players.

Clemens does seem like a major d-bag and it's good that he's been brought back down to earth.

did anyone catch what paul spoljaric said about this incident? on sports center, they had him for a short interview, and he actually did confirm Gaston's allegations that Clemens would be no where to be found when he wasn't pitching... You know it's got to have legs if an ex-teammate would come forth like this...

Just when you thought that it was impossible for Cito to rule any harder than he did.

Cito is teflon now- Beeston has his back. It would seem what Clemens has sown over the years, he is now reaping in spades. Looks good on him.
