No Rocket, Bad Rocket
Enough with this stuff about the return of Roger Clemens. I do not want to see him back in stripes for a few reasons.
Even if he comes out of retirement for the fourth time to play baseball, it will be later on in the season, as in August, as in "ooo, playoffs, yea! Go team!". Little late there Sprocket. Didn't do much help with the Astros seeing as they almost, can they? -no. His late arrival was too late and the Astro's wound up watching the playoffs on their plasma's.
And why should Robinson Cano give up his jersey "just in case"? I don't think Roger will have his uniform retired by the Yankees organization, although he did have his first World Series ring with them along with his 4000th strike out and 300th win all in the same game, but still no need to give up your number.
Or is this all a beg?
"Hey Roger, we have your friend, we have your memories, now we have your number available, whaddya say?"
Another reason why having NASA isn't available for the Rocket's return is because we do not need any rental pitchers. It's enough having four pitchers already inked and one on the DL, plus we just got a fresh young batch of arms to rotate through as the season progresses. No need to rent an old arm.
The Yankees organization is secure enough with the talent already in place and the new faces and young players will hold the future.
Enrich the farm system, not three-time retired vets.

I definitely do not want to see that "i'm going to retire" liar back in pinstripes. I'm still angry that he pretended he was going to retire and then left for Texas and took Andy Pettite with him. grr.
