2007 IS A WRAP!
Roger Clemens returned to the New York Yankees, making a dramatic announcement to fans from the owner's box during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners.
At the end of the seventh-inning stretch, Yankees public address announcer Bob Sheppard told fans to turn their attention to the box, where Clemens was standing with a microphone. As the video scoreboard in right-center showed Clemens, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner made the announcement himself.
"Well, they came and got me out of Texas and I can tell you it's a privilege to be back," Clemens said. "I'll be talking to y'all soon."

Wang. Clemens. Pettitte. Mussina. Hughes.
"Make no mistake about it, I've come back to do what they only know how to do here with the Yankees, and that's win a championship," Clemens said. "Anything else is a failure, and I know that."
Say what you want...hate all you want! This is the best assembled staff in ALL of baseball -- and, it's not even close (granted it was the NL...but, Clemens has been the BEST pitcher in ALL of baseball for the past 3 years -- by a large margin...the numbers don't lie). The Yankees just assured themselves a 10th consecutive AL East crown. If you somehow believe otherwise, I don't believe you, as you are in complete denial...and suffer from Down Syndrome!!
Imagine the impact that Clemens is going to have on Hughes???
Brian Cashman...I bow down to you!!

Anyone who likes the Yankees is a gay.
I agree with that. Cashman has way too many Yankees man crushes for my liking. He might putt from the rough.
clemens is a big pick up for the yanks of course. but the yanks need to solidify that bullpen too. clemens has been known in the past 3-4 years of his career to only go 5, 6, maybe 7 innings a game. with scott proctor and rivera pitching sub-par, better hope clemens throws no-no's every start. its too early in the season to speculate about a pennant but i predict this comes down to last week .
