Factoring in Roger Clemens $18 Million dollar pro-rated contract plus another $7.4 Million additional luxury tax comes to a tidy $25 Mill that the boss just coughed up for a few months work. I guess that man really wants to win.

Rosy,
He does want to win and whether it was 25 mil or 100 mil didn't matter to him.
Should come to about 3 million a win.
I still think they won't win unless they can pull something off to get more help.

There is one problem---Clemens averaged under 6 IP a game last year---what do the Yankees do with their non existent bullpen from the 6 thru 9th innings
FBD,
I hope your last paragraph was not intended for me. I think that we all appreciate your sense of humor and this board would be a big bore without you. Also, when the boy's are piling on me about the Cubs and the NL, you've always had my back. No explanations needed by you, my friend.

It is all about the money.
If it wasn't about the money, he would have taken the Bosox offer to pitch later in the season.

Either that or he doesn't like the Bosox as much. Especially after what they did to him the first time they had him.
I caught that one FBD..."more likely sophmoric and poking fun at myself." I'm with you...there are two peas in this pod...or two pea pods!
Hey FBD! Wait up! That Green Giant guy isn't going to hurt us...he just wants to take our picture!

Rosy, of course it wasn't aimed at you.
TR, you are right he rarely comes close to pitching a complete game. In some ways it was a desperate move, the Yankees need all the help they can get.
As usual The Yanks don't have much trade bait so their hands are tied to a degree.
Red Sox from the East and 2 Central Teams make the playoffs in The AL.

Although in your case Woody, pictures are worth more than a thousand words!
Thank goodness for that!

FBD and the rest of the boys. You read it hear first. The only team from the AL Central that's moving on is whoever wins the division. No wild card from the Central this year. IMO, this is a wildly overrated division, especially by Sox fans. Minnesota loses Liriano and Brad Radke. They're a .500 team this year. The Tigers now lose Zumaya for essentially the rest of the season. He cannot be replaced. The Indians have issues as well including pitching injuries. KC is, well, KC. My pick to make the playoffs from the AL Central are the Chicago White Sox, and it won't take 95 wins to do it.
i sure would!
