Clemens a Yankee (1 Viewer)

[cobalt_27]

Clemens was at the game and just announced on the microphone to the Stadium from Steinbrenner's box that he's going to be a Yankee again.

 

[ThisGuy]

He never should have left.

 

[DynOmite]

Wooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Seriously?

 

[ThisGuy]

Seriously?

He will be in the booth next inning.

 

[[icon]]

Now the Yanks are contenders again in the East... though there is no way he's posting a 1.XX era in the AL East... I think low 3's is likely.. which is plenty good in that lineup.

3.50 and 6IP every 5 days is about right.

This is big news but not that big. They still aren't even the best team in their division.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Must have cleaned out his system from all the enhancements he was taking.

 

[wilked]

why OMG?

Was basically a foregone conclusion

 

[Righetti]

Rasner pitched well today..

It had to be expected, but there was no warning at all. Announcing it during the 7th inning stretch to the crowd at the Stadium is pretty cool.

they broke in with the news on WEEI here

 

[Righetti]

he is on YES right now..

he will announce when he will be able to make his first start in the bottom of the inning

 

[Righetti]

by the way...

Suzyn Waldman almost had a heartattach when she announced it on 880

 

[Doctor Detroit]

Link

 

[Righetti]

He thinks he can pitch in a month.

says that nobody (including Andy Pettite)

June First Yankees vs Boston.. Clemens on the mound.. mark it down

 

[Righetti]

no flexible schedule.. he can't fly back-forth the entire time

 

[RBM]

Has to follow Petitte everywhere huh.

####

 

[wilked]

Just heard that. Also, just said that after he announces that, he will announce what he is having for dinner in the top of the 9th.

Nice...I have tickets to all 3 games...

 

[ICON211]

That was like a wrestling move. It would have been complete if he told whoever he was replacing on the roster to get the hell back to the minors.

Worth $20M for a half season of that?

That's 6 million in Detroit Tigers and 2.1 million in KC Royals dollars so I'll say yes.

Had he announced he was joining the Sox to the Fenway crowd, you wouldn't be saying that. And, it wasn't a foregone conclusion at all that he'd be in NY. Most folks thought the chances were just as good that he'd end up with Houston and some chance at going to Boston.

 

[Billy Bats]

I wish he would retire already. I'm as sick of him as I am Barry Bonds. Now I have to go claim him in my AL only league.

#1 - With the Yankees pitching predicament, no way he would come to Boston over NY. Beyond the difference in wallet sizes#2 - I guess there was a chance with Houston, but again, this guy's ego precludes him coming to NY as a 'hero'

 

[Doctor Detroit]

I'm glad to see him going to NY. I'm not a Red Sox fan but at least it may add some spice back to a once great rivalry.

I thought you were?

 

[Righetti]

he also said he had other reasons why he came back which he will let people know after the season

right. as a boston fan, I'm sure he's much better off for all of you in new york.

then I don't get your point. why wouldn't you want him in boston?

 

[Capella]

I don't want him neither. We've got Lester coming back and no room for a 45 year old pitcher who commands $20mil for half a season of work.

:X ok..

 

[Knightro]

With the Yankees luck, Roger will pop his groin on his 2nd start

:X That's awesome.

 

[wilked]

Sources told the Post the deal is worth between $20-24 million.

Over $1M per start?

I suppose when you pay a pitcher $4M per win you can afford that...

Because he's a ####, that's why.Not enough Red Sox fans "get" this these days. #### Clemens. I'd rather lose than win with Clemens.

Can't blame the guy for collecting another $25 mill...

I realize it, just hoping that wasn't going to be your weak excuse.Glad your happier that a potential difference maker is with your main rival rather than your team, based off of stuff that happened 10 years ago with different management.

Loved that part too. Kills me how Boston fans think they're something other than the Yankees little spending brother.

I suppose it depends if you cheer for the uniform, or the players... I realize with the turnover these days the line gets more and more blurred, but there is still a definite distinction. Surprised you don't realize this. Same reason I wouldn't have wanted Bonds to come to Boston, regardless of him helping the team
