FiddySicks Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 Ehhh, well, ive had some issues with my fantasy pithing this year but hold the rights to Clemens. Hopefully this will be the solution I need.

Audiodrama Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 28 million bucks? Yeah. That's wise spending right there.Yawn.This guy was barely a six-inning pitcher in the National League last year. You think he's gonna come into the toughest division in baseball and be the dominant force the Yankees need to win the World Series again? I don't think so.

RyanB06 Posted May 6, 2007 Share Posted May 6, 2007 And Mr. "It's Not About The Money" shows his true colors once again. Looks like all that "I want to pitch for the team that gives me the best chance at a ring" BS was just that - BS.I can't wait for Clemens to go out in his first start and get lit up.

Jigga Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 None of you Sawx fans would be saying this :censored: if he signed with Boston. Sour grapes make for excellent wine though, right?

Wright!!! Now seriously, I'm a Red Sox fan and my first reaction if Clemens had signed with Boston will be a smacking surprise. And the second reaction will be surely a repulse.Sure, Clemens had a good career with Boston but he played for the Yanks in "Wade Boggs-style": get a World Series ring. Never tried the big challenge of beating the Boston's dark history of the World Series. It's great to be young and a Giant! - Larry Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred T. Jane Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Sure, Clemens had a good career with Boston but he played for the Yanks in "Wade Boggs-style": get a World Series ring. Never tried the big challenge of beating the Boston's dark history of the World Series.The Yankees were far from a World Series-contending team when Boggs joined them for the 1993 season. Boston chose to not resign him when he batted around .260 in 1992, expecting him to go into a decline in production... Whoops.IIRC, the Dodgers actually offered him more money, but he chose the Yankees because they offered an extra season on his contract--which was what he wanted in the first place. [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

infrared41 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I have no doubt Clemens is a JuicerNor do I. How else do you explain a guy throwing a broken bat at someone for hitting a :censored:ing ground ball? Sure looked like roid rage to me. And for those asking how he'll avoid testing, it's simple, MLB doesn't test for human growth hormone. Look at Rocket when he was in Boston and compare it to how he looks today. Like Bonds, the guy has turned into a physical specimen as he's gotten older. Oddly enough, Willie Mays didn't improve with age and he was a pretty fair ballplayer. Come to think of it, neither did Reggie Jackson, Mickey Mantle, Mike Schmidt, George Brett, Bob Gibson, Steve Carlton, or for that matter Ken Griffey Jr. How the hell did Bonds and Clemens and the rest manage to cheat old age when none of the all time greats before the 90's managed to do it? I'm just saying... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sour grapes make for excellent wine though, right?Personally, I've been against Clemens returning to Boston since rumors started flying a few years ago. If he came here, pitched well, good for him. Was I rooting for a Clemens ride into the sunset with a Sox cap on? Hell no. You could run threw the list of reasons why I dislike this man, not just as a ball player, but as a human being. Oh, and by the way it's spelled Sox. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainmaker17 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Clemens is a self-centered douchebag. I wonder how all the Astro fans are taking this...their hometown boy dissed them over money, exposure and personal glory. Sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 There's actually a good amount of Red Sox fans that didn't want Roger Clemens. Don't get me wrong, I'd take him... but I wasn't praying he'd be a Red Sox, and certainly not for $4.5 million per month. He'd look an awful lot better in the Sox rotation than Julian Tavarez. But Jon Lester, when he's deemed healthy to pitch, looks better in that spot since getting younger is always better since we don't need Clemens' arm. Yankees desperately wanted him -- Red Sox wanted him to, more or less, keep him off of the Yankees. Again, which team does that suggest is in better shape?Great pickup for the Yankees. They needed him badly and he'll help for sure. Doesn't make them the best in the East from what we've seen.Wouldn't mind saving the money to possibly have Andruw Jones or Ichiro patrollin' CF next year.

TBGKon Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 well on to another subject, what could you see as a possible timetable for minor-league starts for Clemens, like what he did with Lexington, Corpus Christi, and Round Rock last year with the Astros.The path I see for Clemens is to start down here in Tampa with the Tampa Yankees Hi-A Florida State League team (since Georgie Boy does own the team). Between now and the end of May, the Tampa Yanks are homeMay 7 - May 8 (Daytona Cubs)May 9 - May 12 (St. Lucie Mets)May 17 - May 19 (Ft. Myers Miracle)May 29 - May 30 (Lakeland Flying Tigers)Based on infor from last year, Clemens signed with the Astros on May 31 and played his 1st game in Lexington a week later on June 6. Not sure if the Yankees will start Clemens sooner, but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZzyzx41 Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 I loved how Sportscenter treated it. Started off the Mets-DBacks highlights by pointing out Tom Seaver's announcement that he's coming back to pitch, then onto the Dodgers-Braves where Warren Spahn has apparently said the same thing. -DanielCheck Out My Podcast!
