Sky Sports has a feature where you can press a button on your remote and the camera will follow that player for ten minutes,they usually let you choose from four or five players,boring of course if the ball never gets to that guy in the ten minutes.

Is there any nudity in the movie,is it suitable for a ten year old.

You can never have enough arms,know what I mean?

] Jeter added that he wished he could have given Clemens a better finale. �I wish we could have ended his career on a better note. I�ll try to make it up to him next time he retires.� When it was over, Clemens talked about his final outing. "They were tough. And when they started hitting the ball, there were no other objects around the mound for me to hurl at them. I�m not happy we lost, but since we only scored one run and since I wasn�t actually on the mound when the go-ahead run scored, I think people should blame my teammates and not me.� Asked about his retirement, Clemens responded, �For me, right now, it's goodbye." So great that we have archives...to me that's even funnier today than back then.

I made my MLB debut in 1936 as a substitute for future Hall of Famer , who had earlier been ejected from the game. I struck out in what would be my only MLB at bat. I am however in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

There was an error in there,I can't remember what happened,was the error before Smith came in?

Edgy DC wrote: OK, I'm jumping in with a prediction: 6-9, 4.46. I'll go with a torn hammy and a 1 - 4 record - ERA over 5.. am I being too greedy...... It's worth noting that Clemens averaged less than six innings per start last year for Houston.

MFY @ Boston on June 1st for a three game series....did you hear Clemens talk about the conversation he had with Steinbrenner during spring training,anyway he said it tugged at his heartstrings and that helped get this deal done.

I heard she just about wet her nickers in the booth......

They are so full of shit,Torre especially,so much for St,Joe treating all his players the same.....Clemens can come and go(Cashman's words) as he wishes.... ] "Joe and I talked about it this winter and Joe engaged the leadership among the players," Cashman said. "This is a unique individual. We're going to be happy when he's here every five days." That was Cashman ] "This is something we talked about in spring with the players," Torre added. "Certain teams, maybe things wouldn't work, but I have a sense that the veteran status of this ballclub, we're interested in one thing." Michael Kay told Clemens he got goose bumps watching him address the crowd...... ] "This is Broadway," Kay said. "And the Yankees do things in a dramatic way."

I'll watch for all that,but maybe it's not shown on the tele,baseball players are an odd bunch.

Pelfrey - 1.5 Castro - 1 Chavez - 1 Reyes - 1 Feliciano - 1 Urdaneta - 0.5

Green - 3 Sosa - 3 Delgado - 1 Feliciano - 1 Heilman - 1 LoDuca - 1

Signs with Mets,expected to make a few minor league starts,was pitching in the Rockies system,pitched good in spring training but when he was eligible to come off the disabled list in April, the Rockies didn't have a spot for him in the rotation. Lawrence declined to stay on his rehab assignment any longer so the Rockies designated him for assignment to create a roster spot and eventually released him. Career - 49-61 record with a 4.10 ERA. http://www.baseball-reference.com/l/lawrebr02.shtml I would think he can contribute at some point.

I can't imagine warm and fuzzy feeling for Clemens if he goes in wearing a Boston cap from the Red Sox faithful,although time heals all,we'll see....

I thought Toronto were supposed to be better than this...13-18 and last place....

When you throw in the luxury tax this will cost them about $26 million ,fucking crazy.

So just guessing here,say he makes his season debut a month from now,how many starts does he make the remainder of the season, 20?.. Cashman should have got a first baseman and bullpen help,course he probably will anyway.

I had the Braves on but it was the LA guys and they said he made the announcement from Steinie's box? They weren't specific, maybe they were joking and it went over my head. What kind of announcement? I didn't see it but it sounds like it was puke worthy... ] By Jamshid Mousavinezhad and The Associated Press amNY.com Roger Clemens will be rejoining the New York Yankees, the pitcher announced during a game at Yankee Stadium against the Seattle Mariners. At the end of the seventh-inning stretch, Yankees public address announcer Bob Sheppard told fans to turn their attention to the box, where Clemens was standing with a microphone. As the video scoreboard in right-center televised Clemens, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner made the announcement himself. "It's a privilege to be back," he said. The fans erupted with cheers, with many yanking out their cellphones to spread the news. In an interview during the game, Clemens said "everything happened so fast," and that he hopes to make his first start by the end of the month. The Yankees are scheduled to start a series in Boston against the Red Sox on June 1. He credited one factor in his return to the close friendships he maintains with several Yankee players, including Derek Jeter, who he said has been calling him "once a week."

Great,and they get older....at his age what can they really expect from him apart from hype and six innings?

I must confess that I rearly miss it,and if I do I catch it on ESPN News a few hours later,agree about the baseball coverage,even Lupica's article today in the News is about steriods...I like Saunders,he likes to talk hockey but rearly do the "sports reporters",Jason Withlock used to be a regular but not since he basically called out Lupica on air and in his column. When Bill Rhoden is on you can bet the issue will be race related,I hate it when Jimmy Roberts is on....he makes me cringe...
