Roger Clemens using Twitter to talk to fans ‘right from the heart’

and F Grug Maddox!

“Hey Gang...It’s official...I’m a Twit! ;D Enjoy the ride!” - Roger Clemens, June 17, 2009.

..."He is as direct and honest in his communications on Twitter as he is face to face,” said the spokesman, who requested anonymity.

...Clemens saves his best tweets for his enemies - Brian McNamee, the former trainer who accused Clemens of steroid use in the Mitchell Report, and McNamee’s attorney Richard Emery.

“Some people are just ASS CLOWNS! It would be nice to one day have a chance to have our say in a fair setting,” wrote Clemens this week, shortly after his lawyer Rusty Hardin gave notice that he will file an appeal to revive his defamation lawsuit against McNamee. U.S. District Court Judge Keith Ellison dismissed the lawsuit.

“Our guys have a truck load of info I never knew about Dr. M, or should I say Agent M, oh no wait ... it’s Navy Seal M, oh no wait...” Clemens wrote derisively this week. He is referring, of course, to the doctorate McNamee received from from an online university. Clemens, according to McNamee, told people that the trainer had been a Navy SEAL. McNamee was a registered sports agent in New York state.

“BTW...the E guy rep-ing Dr. M, or VITAMIN M, or whomever he claims to be, is an UGLY HUMAN!,” Clemens wrote, referring to Emery. “Oh wait...sorry he’s not a doctor...hmmm.”
