Why do they call it the Baseball 'WORLD SERIES' when only one country ever participates?
No, No, No.Any forcasts for the Chicago cubs this year. They are heating up!?
no! last time i checked sports were about teamwork and being there for each other!! this guy just comes to do his job and the hell with everyone else. what a waste of money!!Whats the difference between the stealth and the connexion?
I agree-he's old. By the way, he isn't actually getting 28 million. That's the proportion as if he were pitching all year-he's actually only getting paid 23 million or something because he missed the first part.Why are Twins fan so obnoxious and stupid and rude?
NODoes anybody else think Steve Phillips is an idiot?
noNo. The Boss is a big spender and often over pays which explains their very high payroll.

Yes he is a jackass, but very talented.Can i get a pedro martinez rehab update?
The guy is so greedy. Here in Houston, he was always in commercials hawking meat for HEB ( grocery strore) or some other business. Anything for more money. He's the only Astro who did that. The rest get publicity for charitable deeds. Not Clemens... he wouldn't show anywhere unless he got a percentage. The Yankees can have him ! Good riddance !!Why does a-rod make so much money??
NOOOOOOO!!! They think he will be the way back to the top for the yankees but they are DEAD wrong! Red Sox will be #1 alllll year! sorry poor yankees fans!Batting Average Leader in 1999?
no. i hope he does terrible because the yankees are already celebrating about how they got himWhats the distance between pitchers mound and home plate for little league?
No!! He's a great pitcher... He'll win some games and strike people out but for that kind of money they could have almost paid the 2 biggest pitching free agents last off season. Schmidt and Zito. I'd be glad to have him, but for nowhere near what they're giving him.Who was the mlb pitcher who got 80 billion for rocks found on his property?
Roger Clemons ,has the best "gimmick "going on right now in sports.Plays half a season if that,earns Millions,has a chance to play baseball with his son,can choose any team he wants to play on.This is the best scam since insurance fraud.He should not be allowed to do this .I would urge someone like shaq ,don't bother playing the whole season,just become a free agent,wait til half the season goes by,start checking out teams you want to play on,go to the highest bidder sign, play, win a championship,or not.Next season do it all over again.What a scam.As Don King would say "only in America".How many players are there on a softball team? (Ladies if that makes a difference)?
28 million for 5 innings and maybe 6 on good days? How many of his quality starts will get blown by the bullpen? I say alot.He might win about 6 to 10 games which in the grand scheme of things isn't going to do much for the team.I think he lucked out cause the Yankees were in a desperate situation where they needed a big pitching signing and over paid for him.For about 4 or 5 million a year they could have probably taken a guy like James Shields from Tampa who is better then Clemens is now and can eat more inning.He's pitched between 7 and 9 innings for like his last 4 or 5 starts i believe.Yankees gotta start paying for real talent instead of paying for names cause its actually alot cheaper that way and you get better players.Kazmir is the future ace of Tampa they don't have the purse to pay for two future big aces when Shields starts demanding ace like salary so Yanks should be trying for someone like that.Do u bonds to break the record?
Clemens will make about $4.5 million a month and his (4) months of work will get him about $18 million. You and I choke when we hear about that kind of money, but you know what, he will bring in the fans and increase everyones interest in baseball and probably cover his cost, and than some. The only question that can be asked, " is he worth the money to George Steinbrenner" and the answer has to be yes because he is giving him the money.Yankees are horrible right now, who is for red sox nation?
Nobody is. And he's a pitcher so he's only in every fifth game. Even if he played the whole season it's only about 32 starts. That's over $700,000 a start!! But he's not playing the whole season so he's making even more than that! A-Rod makes about $170,000/game and people complain that HE makes too much (I'm one of those even though I like him). So Clemens is definitely being overpaid.Is there a video of Babe Ruth playing?
I am a huge yankee fan , but no one is worth that kind of money. Plus those contract perks are ridulous and unfair. he should be with the team for every gameWho is your favorite player all time and currently?
noI would you feel if they started putting advertising in the uniform or field?
Are u on crack? WHO THE HELL GIVES A 45 YEAR OLD GUY 28 MILLION TO PITCH I PREDICT CLEMENS IS GONNA GO 3-9 YANKEEES SUCK!!How many starting pitchers made all their starts last year?
Apparently the Yankees hope so. They are desperate for pitching, and this year were willing to accede to his demands. If there were more good pitchers out there, then no, not at all. But pitching is a PREMIUM right now. So...Is Joe Torre leaving NY? Do you think he'll be pushed out?
No, but...His experinence is worth it, the yanks needed someone and Clemens(if healthy) can still be a demon with the ball. Even now he can throw 90m/h which is FAST for his age. With the yanks lossing so bad, they will pay a lot for a guy that not only will get them 10-18 wins, but also to help the young picthers.
Top 5 times with chance of winning the world series?
The only reason anyone is "worth" any amount of money is all part of supply and demand, and what the market will bear at that time.America places a high premium on its entertainers, mainly so we can forget about how badly we're being f*cked over by the top 1% in the country, and the various levels of government. I don't think ANYONE is worth $28M or $3M, or even a half million to play a kid's game, but it ain't up to me. . . .
Why you think he's a creep, I don't get. Did he make a pass at your mom or something?
He's to old and one of the most overrated players in baseball
No. Maybe he will end up being a coach at some point.
When was the last forfeited game in Major League Baseball and why?
Free Market Capitalism answers your question with a resounding yes.It is a pretty inefficient use of money though.
I think David R. has the best overall answer going right now.
Clemens has everything his way pretty much. Team. Money. Perks. Playing Time.
What player is the best bargain in baseball this year?
No, before the end of the regular season, since we all know that the Yankees are not going to the playoffs, Clemens will need a walker to get him to the mound.GO BOSTON!
Where can I buy a slow pitch softball bat for under a $100.00?
noNo one is worth $28 million. Clemens will win, maybe, 13 or 14 games for the Yankees. That works out to $2 million a win. How much are other teams paying per win per pitcher? I can tell you, it isn't $2 million per.
Last time I checked, a win from Chris Sampson or Jon Lieber or Tom Glavine or any other big league pitcher counts just as much in the standings as a win from the Rocket.
And before you bring up Dice-K, the BoSox paid a lot, true. And he isn't worth it, either.
NO
What is BAA in pitchers stats?
For a guy who doesn't even planning on going on road trips with his team unless he is pitching I think he is just a self centered loser. He and Bonds are side show freaks.How do the Nats turn their season around?
I agree completely!! He is playing mind games with all the teams that pursued him and the game as a whole. His special treatment and privileges will cause friction in the Yankees' clubhouse. And he even can't go right away; he needs time to "get in shape".Real players already got in shape -- it's called "Spring Training". If Clemens wants to be a ballplayer, that's where he needs to be.
