News Flash: The Red Sox try to convince Roger Clemens to close out his Hall-of-Fame career in Boston. They’ve even gone so far as to produce a video to sway the Rocket.
Teddy’s Take: There’s a better chance of Eminem recording the soundtrack for Brokeback Mountain 2, or Rush Limbaugh starring in it.
The Rocket is going nowhere folks. He’ll pitch in the sham of a World Baseball Classic, take a month or so off to recharge the batteries, then return to the Astros sometime in May. He’s basically admitted his body can’t take a full year of pitching anymore, he’s already working out with the Astros minor leaguers, and his son is one of those minor leaguers. You really think he’s going to come back to Boston and give up the ability to go home to his family between starts and basically make his own schedule? If I didn’t know better, I’d say this is a ploy by the Red Sox to generate discussion during the down weeks between Super Bowl and Spring Training.
What’s your take?

Rocket called me today and we spoke about the offer. He just wants to know if the Sox and the press have any memory whatsoever about what happened when he left. He also told me that it would be a different situation if the Yanks had put up the offer. "Now that's a class organization and I'd really have to put some thought in it" said Roger. He also went on to say that "Manny being Manny thing shouldn't be taken so harshly. Heck, how come they haven't come out with a Theo being Theo shirt yet? Group of idiots"

It's Funny...the ONLY response Yankee fans have to ANYTHING is that they have 26 championships...
SUPER. That makes you the 2nd most winningest franchise in sports. Yes. 2ND.
Behind the Montreal Canadiens/Maroons who have 35 Hockey Championships.
You know....I never hear any Celtics Fans on this site brag about their 16 titles.....Must be a New York thing.
I guess we should expect that from a state that only has 1 competitive team since the Rangers bought a chapionship in the 90's Jets, Giants, Bill, Sabers, Nicks all SUCK.
With no championships this Millenium for the Yanks...I'd like to quote Dennis Eckersley..."That's history, Pal"
