Steinbrenner couldn't play the ESPN Salary Cap Game, that's for sure.

After the way Clemens "retired" from the Yankees, enjoyed a day in his honor, and then signed with Houston, I doubt if George has any plans to go after "The Rocket".

Even if he does, though, I don't think he has much of a chance of getting him.

At this point, I don't think that money is the issue for Clemens (or he never would have sat out the first part of this season), and the situation in Houston is too perfect for him.

I also think he'd be too afraid of the reception he'd get from the fans if he tried to come back to New York.

But I wouldn't worry, Yankee fans. I don't think Boston has any chance of signing him either.
