Clemens in Blue & Orange?

[Willets Point]

Another offer for Clemens.

Are you telling me that the Onion is too classy to go the "wife offers sex as a performance-based bonus" route?

[Willets Point]

Maybe you should write for the Onion.

Latest actual news on Clemens is that he claims to be almost physically ready but nowhere near mentally ready.

Translation: I'm not into it mentally at $3mil/month, get back to me when the bidding hits $4mil-per.

Funny...

i just added him in one of my fantasy leagues.
too bad we couldn't add him in a real league.

[soupcan]

I hope he gets lit up like a Christmas tree in every start he makes.

[metirish]

WTF kinda deal did he get, I'm reading $22 million but it gets confusing after that, explain please.

It's a $22 Million major league, full-season contract. That's what he'd get if he was on the roster for the whole season.

He only gets a percentage of that $22 million -- the same percentage of the season that he's on the Astros' 25-man roster. It'll be approximately $12.6 million.

He's being paid according to a minor league contract until he reaches the majors.

[metirish]

Ahh ok, thanks Gwreck, damn and Houston are 6.5 games out, I guess they are hoping to ignite the team.

[metirish]

So Houston are 2 and 8 in the last 10 games and have lost 5 in a row,I guess the team wasn't all that jazzed about Rajah joining them again and are now 8.5 games out.

[Elster88]

Showing that Clemens is all about the $$$. I'm assuming he got a no-trade clause?

[Elster88]

]I don't necessarily know that I need to or that I want to, but I'm committed.

He doesn't know if he wants to...but he IS committed.

[metirish]

Elster how could you say that, Bob Klapisch said after the deal that this was NOT about money but about ending his career with his son....

[Benjamin Grimm]

I think he's just trying to break Cher's record for most farewell appearances.

[Centerfield]

I meant to mention this the other day...ESPN had a story on him where he agreed to pick up all the meals for all his teammates while he was with the club. He also donated a big screen TV, couches etc to re-do the locker room. I thought this was a pretty cool thing to do.

Not that this changes the fact that he's a moose-fucking asshead.
