Chuck HCarlton Fisk Verbally Waves ‘The Bird’ Directly In McGwire & Clemens’ Faces

Sorry, but when Pudge talks, I listen! The man was my favorite ballplayer when I was a little shit growing up in Allston, MA. My ole man says ‘Rooster’(Rick Burleson) was the first Red Sox name that ever came out of my mouth. I disagree. It was ‘Pudge.’ I remember. The ole man is mistaken.
In a post on NESN.com , Pudge teed off on Mark McGwire and Roger Clemens. I found the comments quite poignant. Fisk doesn’t seem to be the type to beat around the bush. Go get these frauds Pudge!
On McGwire:
“Try having your knees operated on and catching for 30 years," Fisk told the Chicago Tribune. "Do you think you feel good when you go out there? (McGwire) had to stand around and play first base. So excuuuuuse me."
On Clemens:
"The reason he got let go from the Red Sox was because he was starting to break down," Fisk told the Tribune. "His last couple of years in Boston just weren't very productive, a la 'The Rocket.' Then all of a sudden he goes to Toronto and he wants to show somebody something. Then he gets two consecutive Cy Young Awards (in '97 and '98). Come on, give me a bucket."
