It's not about the affair(s); it's about his insistence under oath that he's a pillar of moral rectitude.

His wife Debbie's a babe, too.

And the Daily News continues to have its fun.

Roger Clemens linked to John Daly's ex

Several sources told the Daily News Wednesday that Clemens had a relationship with Paulette Dean Daly, a former wife of champion golfer John Daly.

The sources said Clemens, a married father of four, arranged trips to Anaheim Stadium for Daly - the latest woman to emerge as an alleged Rocket flame - to watch him pitch forthe Yankees against the Angels. Sources also said he spent time with her in Palm Springs, Calif.

The pair met at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, a Palm Springs golf tournament that Paulette Dean Daly has been involved with for many years - including stints as a "Classic Girl," one of the beautiful women who help in ceremonial duties at the event, sources said.

"Yeah, I've known Roger quite a while and we are friends," Daly said yesterday.

She declined to elaborate on the nature of her relationship with the pitcher, but did not deny allegations from several sources that it was romantic and included financial support.

Asked if she had been romantically involved with Clemens, Daly replied: "You know what, I'm really uncomfortable talking about this. I'm just going to have to say, 'No comment.'

"I know Roger. I consider him a good friend. That's all I'm comfortable saying."

Clemens' relationship with Daly is said to have come after the end of her marriage to the hard-driving golfer. That was on the heels of a grim incident at the 1997 Players Championship, where the golfer was taken to a hospital with alcohol poisoning.

The beauty married the golfer in Las Vegas in January 1995 at the Little Church of the West. He wore blue jeans, cowboy boots, a dark jacket and no tie. She wore white.

Daly is still involved with the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic as an organizer of famously lavish parties there.

News reports have described Clemens as being in attendance as recently as two years ago, dancing around the party with an 8-foot-long boa constrictor around his neck.

The revelations of Clemens' dalliances come as he and his lawyer, Rusty Hardin, pursue a defamation suit against former trainer Brian McNamee, who has accused Clemens of using performance-enhancing drugs.

In an effort to discredit McNamee in January, Hardin circulated information about a 2001 incident in Florida where McNamee was investigated for sexual assault but was never charged.

Now Clemens' flawed past is coming to light, which legal experts say is inevitable for anyone pursuing a defamation case because a successful injury claim depends on an undamaged reputation.

Maybe Roger should have just shut his mouth or responded no comment or say he was sorry for having tried roids and that it was a mistake... Instead, this is where his denials have led him. He's fair game and the press isn't going to give up on this.

Well, last night sucked. I love Phil's curveball (so does Sheff, apparently, though), but his fastball is all over the place and his change & slider are nowhere to be seen. He doesn't seem to have his command, which is essential to his success. It didn't help that we had a total scrub behind the plate who got crossed up about 100 times, and that the OF defense sucked (Matsui in LF, Damon in CF) - which is inexplicable managing by Girardi. That said, Phil just stunk. The debate rages over whether he should be sent down to AAA for a bit.

The offense is pitiful right now. Girardi made things worse via his lineup selection, but w/o ARod (on the DL now) and Posada and using our 4th string catcher, the lineup is just about helpless against LHP, especially since Jeter's in a slump.

Oh, and Granderson is good.

Granderson.

Great to have him back.

Tigers swept NY at Yankees stadium for the first time since 1966.

(and for the last time ever... )

Rough loss for the Cubs today. Ump misses a call at the plate tocost them a run, then Kerry Wood blows his third save in seven attempts.

[Arrian]

Yay sweep. Of course, the Mariners are not a good baseball team.

Still, it was nice. Wang was excellent, and Mussina and Rasner both pitched respectably. Jeter is heating up.

Not so nice: Phil Hughes' rib injury, Kennedy being demoted (and deserving it). Cano, HR notwithstanding, is still in a horrific slump. Giambi actually hit a ball to LF yesterday and got a sac fly out of it... and then proceeded to go right back to pulling everything. Sigh.

My favorite part:

"We won it a couple years ago, and we're horse[bleep]," Guillen said sarcastically before the Sox (14-15) lost to the Blue Jays 4-3 and fell below .500 for the first time since April 3.

" The Cubs haven't won in [100] years, and they're the [bleeping] best. [Bleep] it, we're good. [Bleep] everybody. We're horse[bleep], and we're going to be horse[bleep] the rest of our lives, no matter how many World Series we win.

"We have the worst owner (Jerry Reinsdorf). The guy's got seven [bleeping] rings, and he's the [bleeping] horse[bleep] owner."

Bleep bleep

The gift that keeps on giving.
