I was psyched on Sunday when the Astros managed to win 2 of 3 in Milwaukee and then had a chance to get into Cincinnati and make a run at the Reds. Now after the last two nights (and so far, as of this writing, today's game), I have given up and find this really really funny:

Astros offer Roger Clemens an additional $20 million to kill Brad Lidge

Houston Astros owner Drayton McClane offered star pitcher Roger Clemens an extra $20 million on top of his current contract today if he offs Astros closer Brad Lidge.
The murder-for-hire deal includes numerous perks, just like with Clemens’ Astros player contract. Additional incentives kick in if Lidge’s death appears to be a suicide, thereby allowing the team to void the guaranteed money remaining on his deal. And still more incentives come into play if Clemens’s also kills the struggling trio of Morgan Ensberg, Jason Lane and Andy Pettitte.

“Roger loves this organization and will do anything to help us win,” said McClane. “And there’s nothing that can help us win more right now than the death of Brad Lidge. Roger also loves money. So I see this generous offer as a win-win for everyone. Except, of course, Brad Lidge. But he deserves what’s coming to him.”
