Maybe Clemens means it this time

Roger Clemens is at it again. The big right-hander said the odds of his not returning to baseball this season are "80-20."

Now, normally, that would leave any sane person to believe Clemens is not coming back. But, much like his devastating splitter, Clemens left himself an out.

He said if one of the teams he is looking at, mostly believed to be Houston, the Yankees and Boston, has someone "stub his toe and my phone rings in May I may have to listen."

Thanks, Rocket. As spring training unfolds across Arizona and Florida, it seems we'll have to keep one eye turned to Houston to see the annual saga that has become the Rocket's world.
