Yankees trying for Clemens, earlier start to season?

[jacksonianmarch]

Sure they could. Did you see the crap that we were rolling out in the 5th slot last year-- Pauley' date=' Snyder and "the Ultimate Loser" Jason Johnson.[/quote']

 

We have much better in house options than the sox could even fathom last season.

Good luck to them.

[jacksonianmarch]

granted, far from a certainty. But they are better than sending out AAAA retreads. At least if they suck, they are getting a learning experience rather than just sucking as usual.

Olney on ESPN radio said that Clemens is going to be a yankee by the end of the offseason. It was more of an opinion piece, but he said that Yankee people have told him that they will offer extreme leniency on scheduling and will most definitely not be outbid.

Being right will be enough. I won't need to humiliate you.

[jacksonianmarch]

is that chickenshit I smell?

[a700hitter]

Fine, but I'll leave it to the others on this site, excluding Yankee fans, to determine your humiliation.

[jacksonianmarch]

1 month it was right?

OMFG, that is hilarious.

1 month it is.

[TheKilo]

I really can't see the Yankees offering the type of scheduling flexibility that he wants. Right now it seems like 50/50 for him even to pitch next year.

 

If Houston offers more money than the Yankees (on the Dan Patrick show today Gammons said the Astros are willing to overpay a bit), and keeps the same schedule for him, why would he leave Houston?

 

I don't think the Red Sox are going to make a huge push for him. Yeah, it'd be a nice story, but the Sox already have a pretty good rotation. They need to continue to focus their attention on the bullpen and maybe beef up the bench a little bit.

I almost want jacks to lose so he can have that avatar. LOL!

 

How about this for a700:

Now, if you made that with the individual toes, it'd really be gay.

[BSN07]

My girlfriend has a pair he could wear, nice and rainbowy with individual toes!LOL

 

I don't think we will hear much about Clemens pitching for the Sox until it gets a little closer to when he is actually going to come back.

 

yes we have a good rotation now but you never know what will happen, if someone is sucking ass or is hurt then I would imagine the Sox making a bigger push for him then right now.

The Yankees have asked Robby Cano to switch his number from 22 to 24. #22 is the # that Rog had in the bronx and are hoping to do everything to woo Roger to NY. Interesting.

[BSN07]

Ya and the Sox haven't let anyone wear #21 since Roger left town. The number doesn't mean anything. He will either take the money from NYY, or he will go for the legendary story of returning to Boston and all the frenzy that would cause.

 

Remember he did except a trade to Boston last year at the deadline that the Houston owner vetoed. So he is willing to go to Boston. NYY where trying to trade for him too, but I never heard anything about him excepting a deal to send him to NY. It will be interesting to see if he goes for the Money or whatever you would call it if he returned to Boston to end his legendary career.

there was a "rumor" of a deal. At the same time, the Stros probably asked for Hughes or Tabata which is a big no-no in a deal. The sox were a little more desperate at the time. Right now, it is straight cash, not even a loss of a pick.

[BSN07]

Well at the time when it was going on and right after the deadline PTI and around the horn and a couple other sport shows where talking about it and where all stating sources saying it was true, so I wouldn't call it a rumor, but who knows what goes on behind closed doors.

Bad idea to cite PTI and Around the Horn as sources.

Says the person who needs to work on citing any of his sources.

[BSN07]

Well baseball tonight said it was a done deal at the time too, Houston's owner just vetoed it. Alot of reporters where pissed calling it one of the best baseball story's ever if it had gone threw. Houston's owner reasoning was because he didn't want another Nolan Ryan situation on his hands... What a tool, NR was there for a good period of time, RC has only been there for a couple seasons, its not like he was the face of the franchise like NR was. RC was a ticket seller thats all. Biggio,Bagwell(pre retirement) and Berkmen are the faces of the franchise.
