    Roger Clemens declares he doesn't want to play.

    Although he also says he's "80-20" not going to play, and if someone "stubs their toe and my phone rings in May" he might think about it...

    So, he still "hasn't decided" yet.

    Technically, he couldn't do that.

    I hope Clemens realizes how obvious he sounds. He doesn't want to play, yet states he'll play possibly if an injury happens. He said he doesn't want teams waiting on his decision that he doesn't want to play, but despite not wanting to play he gives it a 20% shot. I think what this equates out to is that Clemens only wants to play 80% of the season, once a team gets desperate enough to pay him 20 million dollars. I imagine he already has his voodoo dolls ready to strike an injury down on one of the Yankees starters.

    I did a lot of good things as a sim league GM.

    Ah, give me something clever to say here.

    You don't need a voodoo doll for Carl Pavano.

    Actually, the voodoo dolls without pins in them are quite useful for Carl Pavano... he can sit on them as he recovers from another left buttocks injury. I mean with the cash Clemens gets, he gets the super deluxe plush voodoo dolls, great for sitting.

    I think that he will play one more year for the Yankees then retire. It seems almost certain to me.

    I would like to see him still play but doing all this is just a waste of time for him and the teams that would like to sign him.

    Update on the Clemens story.

    Clemens didn't sound like someone who is 80/20 leaning towards retirement. Odds are that he'll choose to join the Astros, Yankees or Red Sox for the final four months of the season.

    If the Astros are looking like crap,it will be down to Boston or New York.

    Boston- Heartwarming story of Clemens coming back to his original team to finish off his areer.

    New York- Will pay him the most and he can pitch with good friend Andy Pettite again.
