Roger Clemens doesn't think he's being unclear about his future baseball plans. In fact, he finds the confusion funny.
Clemens told a FOX affiliate in Houston on Thursday that he does not want to play in 2007.
"I find it comical," Clemens said, according to a transcript on the KRIV TV Web site. "We get little notes at my foundation about people saying they wish I would make up (my) mind and decide because I am leaving people hanging. I'm not leaving anybody hanging. I don't want to play."
"I...told (my son Koby) 80-20 that I wasn't going to play," Clemens said. "The teams that are involved, I think they've got really good clubs that are together, and if somebody stubs their toe and my phone rings in May I might have to think about it."

Clemens is good for the game. He is not the one causing the story even if he wakes up and feels 65% or 99% certain the media is more than happy to quote him daily and yet they get no flak. Is he driving up the price? If he is, who cares no owner has a gun to their heads it's a business dealing either way. If I had the leverage he has at work, I would hold out for millions in stock option, sadly I don't.
Also doubt that he is on the juice, but hey, who needs proof these days, we can smear anyone's character without a shred of proof.
Thoughts?
