Bottom Line - Breaking News?

Hank and the other eighteen members of the Steinbrenner clanhave all banned together to bring us some ground breaking news today. No, they will NOT sign Roger Clemens to play for the Yankees in 2008. Wait, what? I’m sorry, but did ANYONE actually think this was going to happen? First of all on the in-game side, the physical side of things, the “Rocket” that we last saw pitch to close out 2007 was a guy who looked like he was pitching at age 80, had barely anything remotely reminiscent of his glory days, and had nothing close to what he was being paid as far as value is concerned. So, why then would ANYONE sign him? Beyond that, please tell me that during this process you think there is an actual resolve coming at some point down the road. If you do, please tell me what that end game is. Because for me, I see a “he said, she said” taking us all the way through Spring Training and beyond and for that reason alone – no way is Roger back on a field anytime soon, or ever in my opinion – that’s the bottom line!
