At least I don't have to hear about him coming back, and who he may go back to for the rest of the month. Would have like to have had him back in Boston, but we don't really need him, especially after Lester comes back and Timlin comes off the DL.

I love it.  The Yankees are going to miss the playoffs, and Clemens is going to fail to get a ring AGAIN.  If had half a brain he would have went to the Sox, who have a good chance to win it all.  What an idiot.

Yeah, I'm watching the YES network too. I'm mad cuz I missed the announcement though, I've pretty much watched the whole game except for the top of the 7th and the announcement. All of a sudden I came back from what I was doing  and I see them showing how he get his 300th win and then they put him down as a choice for the player of the game. I was just sitting there asking myself did I miss something here?

 You're right, he would have chosen the Sox if he had half a brain. But he has a whole brain, therefore he chose the Yankees.

well tavarez being the genius that he is, said that the red sox didn't need clemens.  bet you the rest of his teammates would rather have clemens than tavarez as the "fifth" starter.

Wow, how surprising I thought he wanted to go to the team with the biggest chance of getting a World Series ring not the team that's struggling.

I just love the frigging arrogance of the Red Sox fans, after your front office treated the greatest pitcher alive like dirt and kick him out because he was "washed up" you expect him to come "full circle" and finish his career for the Sox, what a joke.

If he wanted a chance to win, he should have checked his ego at the door.  And by the way, I'm about as far from a Red Sox fan as they come.  Check my sig.

Its not about ego, its about dignity. The owner treated him like dirt, he was "washed up"...so much for that. Then Red Sox fans booo him every single start in Yanks uniform until the "I'm retiring" start at Fenway, bunch of hypocrites.

I agree, a lot of Yankees fan are just playing with him A-Rod's mind, me not one of them but that's another story. But I guess that if A-Rod opts-out Yankees fan wouldn't ask him to come back. Red Sox fans just need to let it go and live with the fact that you kicked out, arguably, the greatest pitcher ever and his not coming back.

He got his only two rings and formed his strongest friendships with the Yankees. I could see why he would go back to New York and get his third ring.

People act like 7 years is a long time for not winning a championship. They arn't going to win it every year. The cubs havn't won it in almost 100 years and a lot of other teams havn't won it in 20+ years. So how about once your team gets 26 championships than you can talk.

As a Dodger fan, I have to agree with that.  It's about history, too.  7 years isn't a long time, but the Yankees need to change their philosiphy before they win another one.

That's not surprising in the least bit. But I guess it's one more reason to hate the Yankees. It's kinda sad that they have to buy their wins and STILL end up losing in the postseason.

Agreed, 7 years really isn't that long. The Yanks are working their way back to that philosophy right now actually. While they are still going for some big name players, they aren't trading their young talent which is the key. Its about time they started doing this.

Alright, calm down kids. It's one thing to discuss the news, but if I see either side stepping out of line, I won't be afraid to make it so that you can't post until he actually makes a start.

Well hey, I guess besides the fan-trashing and the chest-beating and the borderline trolling, there's nothing going on here.

Which is exactly how I want it to stay.

He played had "injuries" for 3 straight seasons then plays like himself in his contract year. He's an egotistical douchebag and treated the fans like crap. Also, at least we don't boo an MVP.

I never said that, I was saying that was the reason why most teams haven't won a WS for a while. Â
