With all due respect to Roger Clemens. . . I mean, the man is a living legend.
But, I have to admit that I really don't care if he pitches for the good guys
again or not. This is all getting rather boring. Crap, or get off the pot,
man! I have decided to look at it this way: I was an Astros fan for 25+ years
before he came to play here. I will be an Astros fan when he leaves. It just
doesn't matter.

Peace,
Tonya

HOUSTON -- Seven-time Cy Young winner Roger Clemens has given himself
just a 20 percent chance of returning to the mound next season.

"Koby [his son] asked me last night when we were working out, he was
doing more of a workout than I was," Clemens, 44, told Houston
television station KRIV-TV in an interview on Thursday.

"I still told him 80-20 that I wasn't going to play.

"We get little notes at my foundation about people saying they wish I
would make up my mind and decide because I am leaving people hanging.
I'm not leaving anybody hanging.

"I don't want to play," added Clemens.

If Clemens, one of just four major league pitchers to record more
than 4,000 strikeouts, does return for a 24th season, it probably
will be back with his hometown Houston Astros or with another of his
former teams, the Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees. The right-
hander was part of two World Series championship teams during a five-
year stint with the Yankees from 1999-2003.

With the Astros the last two seasons, he got to spend time on the
field with Koby, his son, an Astros minor leaguer. The Rocket didn't
have to always be with the major league team on days he didn't pitch.

"The teams that are involved, I think they've got really good clubs
that are together, and if somebody stubs their toe and my phone rings
in May, I might have to think about it," Clemens told KRIV.

Information from Reuters and The Associated Press was used in this
report.
