Roger Clemens Reminds Us It's All About Him

Roger Clemens just can't seem to decide if he will play baseball next year. But his most recent comments indicate that he will probably retire after the World Baseball Classic. Maybe. Yawn.

"But the only thing is if I'm sitting in the stands in Boston, or New York, or somewhere in May, and get the itch again, who knows what will happen?" Clemens said.

Boston or New York? How about that team in your hometown near that family you allegedly care for so much? The team who let you skip road trips and treated you like a god? Sure, they had to hedge their bets and pass on arbitration in order to potentially move on due to your inability to make a decision, which is rightfully yours, but just make a statement, stick to it and refer reporters to that statement. We've already talked at length about this, so we will let it rest. Your (possibly drug-enhanced) ass is huge, but you are not bigger than the game, quit being a distraction.

PS. Go to Boston, I am sure many of the fans would love to see you comeback. But get use to the moniker Benedict Clemens if you do.
