Baseball: Clemens retired,for now.

A stunt by a Houston radio station failed to drive Roger Clemens back into baseball.

Clemens turned down a burnt orange Hummer on Monday, spurning an offer by a local car dealer to take the luxury sport utility vehicle in exchange for joining his hometown Astros by late Monday morning.
The Rocket didn't rule out ending his retirement, however.

so whats the chances of clemens going to the astro's now that his buddy Pettite is there..

ppphtt,

if he was serious about retiring he wouldve laid to rest any questions about him joining the Astros by now

I think he's going.

I HOPE he's going.

Why would he not go? His buddy is their and they are offering him the chance to come back,he hasn't said yes or no yet so who knows if he will..

why he wanted to spend more time with his family is one reason

So why has he not just said NO!!! im retired...He must be thinking about it real hard and the longer it goes on the more chance he will go to the astro's...

Roger Clemens may not be ready to retire just yet. Clemens told Newsday's Mark Herrmann that he hasn't ruled out pitching for the Astros next season.

i would seriously hate it if he pitched for the Astros and not for the Yankees next season

Ben life sucks sometiimes and Roger Clemens' agent expects the pitcher to decide by the end of January whether to play for Houston this season. Clemens has been deliberating since close friend Andy Pettitte agreed to a contract with the Astros last month

The Astros continued to show they are serious about luring Roger Clemens out of retirement, reportedly offering the future Hall of Famer a one-year deal.

yea i thought i heard roger say though that he woudlnt goto the Astros cause it was Andy's time in the spotlight

Well i guess he will give his answer in the next few weeks so we havn't got long to find out if he will go or not..

we should know soon thats for sure TRD, but i think Clemes will want to spend time with his family and hella i think he should stay out his time has come for him to not play

Looks like i was right all along...

Six-time Cy Young award winner Roger Clemens will delay his retirement and sign a contract with the Houston Astros..

He is believed to be getting a one-year contract in the $4 million range.The Astros have scheduled a news conference for Monday at 3 p.m. ET to announce the deal..

woah i cant bleive that clemens actually did this....i will be interested as to what he says

Well if you watch it let me know what he say's,it will be intersting.

He has a chance now to go second on the all time strike out list i think he needs 38 more..

i didnt see it...did anybody else

Clemens went to his hometown, thats all. I am not surprised by this at all. Houston now has what probably is the best pitching staff in the NL.

yea could be....i still dont like it one bit grrrrrrrrrr does all the players on the yankees hate there team?
