Roger Clemens Announces His Intentions

Speaking from the New York owner's box at today's Mariners-Yankees game Roger Clemens announced his intentions to pitch for the Yankees at some point this season.

The seven time Cy Young award winner will probably get something along the lines of 4 million dollars a month, roughly a million a week, to pitch from early June through the rest of the season, which will inevitably conclude with the yearly meltdown in October unless the Yankees find some way to get rid of Alex Rodriguez and his October curse.

Just thinking about the combined apathy of Rodriguez and fellow lazyballer Bobby Abreu makes me want to slip into a coma. Seriously, is there a team in the majors that can overcome the lack of heart and will to win that these guys bring to the table? Put Roy Hobbs on the Yanks and he commits suicide within a week, probably by gouging out his eyeballs with a rusty spoon.

Enjoy the cash gramps, because that's all you're getting out of this 2/3rd of a season.
