James rocks Roger
Roger Clemens made his independent baseball debut tonight, pitching 3 1/3 scoreless innings for the Sugar Land Skeeters against the Bridgeport Bluefish in the Atlantic League.
Clemens gave up one hit, a single to (guess who?) James Simmons. You might recall that Simmons began this year as an outfielder for the Wild Things. He was released after only five games and going 3-for-17. Simmons signed with Bridgeport in the Atlantic League, which is the top independent league and has many former major leaguers and Class AAA players.
Simmons is batting .279 with 11 home runs for the Bluefish.

A shining example of one of many Bando bloops, bleeps, and blunders. Simmons was one of the rare few guys signed in the offseason with professional experience. And imagine that, some success at it! No doubt he would have released Chris Sidick as well, had he decided to play another year.
I'm still considering a parody of "Casey At The Bat", no promises, though. The Bando comedy show still has a few limited engagements coming up. Get your tickets early, folks!
Ban the Bandos! Boo Stu!
Isn't it wonderful that the Wild Things aided a handful of players this season by releasing them so they could move on to bigger and better things.
Bando, Williams, and Steve Z. The terrible triplets!
Total baseball IQ? About a minus 3
