Still one of my favorite all-time players. Good luck to him the rest of the season...

Clemens makes me sick. I hope he does lousy. Hes a big arrogant p***k and I hope the yanks go down the tubes with him.

Please do us all a favor and quit retiring. Just quit.

Unless they plan on using him as a middle relief pitcher they have not signifigantly upgraded their team. As ppdgn said in the above post he is a 6 inning pitcher at best now.

If he gets 20-22 starts, figure 130-140 innings. This is definitely an upgrade. How can it not be? And if they stumble into the playoffs, ....

Stud: you're dealing with some angry people here! Yes..Clemens is arrogant(as my post a week ago mentioned)but he helps many pitchers and is a complete gamer! Probably 18 starts...heads into playoffs as a wiild card with a 15-3 record! If I could do what Roger does, you probably couldn't get my head thru a doorway! And if the S.I. shot is any indication...we now know why Roger flew home between starts during his last tenure with the Bombers

I've been a Yankee fan for almost thirty years...it was a disgrace how they annonuced Clemens yesterday. They have "spit" in the face of Yankee tradition! First it was the Bernie thing and then the problems with Marino...now this. Bad Karma for this team...it WILL blow up in their face & won't make the playoffs this year! "Goes around, comes around". Bernie is gone...Mariano will be at the end of the year and Mr. Clemens will be back in Texas...counting his money!!!

They need help in the bullpen which plays everyday not once a week. He is a good pitcher but he is no longer an ace. Remember that he has been accumulating stats in the NL and he is 45. Sure he helps but they have bigger issues that seemingly are not going to get fixed.
