Roger Clemens has signed with the pitching-hungry Yankees and will do his annual barnstorming tour through the minors, just like he did last season with the Astros. That would put him right on target to pitch on the first weekend of the June, the next time the Yankees visit the Red Sox.
That series includes a Sunday night game that ESPN is sure to hype to deaeth.
A modest proposal is that Clemens should forget about the Yankees. Instead, he could become a latter-day Satchel Paige. He can roam across North America in his customized Hummer, wearing a "Rocket Man" uniform and hiring himself out to the South Shore Railcats and Lansing Lugnuts of the baseball world. There's plenty of corners of the globe which have never been able to bask in his beneficient glow.
(Yes, we know sarcasm is the protest of the weak, but we also hate John Knowles.)

Taking a microphone during the seventh inning to address the crowd was so Clemens. This guy has got to get over himself. Although I guess it's similar to what a grade 3 teacher might say to the other students regarding the 'class clown': "don't encourage him" ... PLEASE baseball fans everywhere: stop encouraging Clemens. And Clemens: just retire already. I wonder if Roger and Barry ever worked out together ...
