80-20

Clemens leans toward retirement
Rocket gives 20 percent chance that he will play in 2007

It's a far cry from the 99.9 percent rate Roger Clemens has quoted in the last few offseasons, and if we're to take The Rocket at his word, it looks like he truly is leaning toward retirement.

During an interview with KRIV-TV, a local television station in Houston, on Thursday, Clemens said there is only a 20 percent chance he'll play in 2007.

"Koby asked me last night when we were working out, he was doing more of a workout than I was," Clemens told KRIV, referring to his eldest son. "I still told him 80-20 that I wasn't going to play."

If he does decide to play, Clemens will be courted by three teams: the Astros, Yankees and Red Sox. Recent comments from The Rocket hint that he'll be keeping his eye on the standings as he ponders picking a team, so anyone struggling right out of the gate probably won't have much of a chance to land him.


This will take awhile. I am 100% sure of that.
