I don’t think anybody wants to see Clements back in the major leagues. I know I don’t.

Oh cool. That is what I was wondering, if HOF consideration re-ups again 5 years later, after re-retiring, after already getting a HOF vote 5+ years earlier.

I’m pretty sure Rog just wanted to play for Sugarland so, like the rest of us, we’d still have a reason to yell ‘AWWWWWWW SKEET SKEET SKEET SKEET SKEET’. Well done, Rog. Well done.

Scooped by two minutes! I didn’t see the above post before I mentioned Rijo.

Jose Rijo is another guy who received a Hall of Fame vote and then returned to the majors.

Jim Palmer started making a comeback after he was inducted into the Hall of Fame, but it didn’t get too far (if memory serves me well).

Jose Rijo retired in 1995 and received a HOF vote in 2001. He returned in 2001 and pitched about 90 innings combined in ’01 and ’02. He was again eligible for the HOF in 2008, but got no votes and dropped off the ballot.

Prettty obvious that what he wants is to go into the Hall in the uniform of the Sugarland Skeeters – class all the way, that guy.

Czar or tsar. Different spellings for the same word.

I’m not sure if you were actually trying to correct Craig’s spelling or if you’re just making a joke. Perhaps you could clarify your intentions in the future.

Pretty much agree, Jeff. So far that is all he is doing. It got all pumped up on very little hard evidence. But I’d hate to see it happen. Not so much from a moral point of view. Just seems to much like a circus sideshow. I really want the Astros to stay away from that.

Yes, but what does it say about the commentator who needs to put him self on an online moral pedestal?

It’s hilarious watching people get their knickers all in a twist over an old pitcher throwing in a couple of independent league games.

The speculation, assigning of motives, disgust, rage, etc reveals much more about the commentators than it does about Roger Clemens.

Dondada on Clemens saying he’s not coming back this year: “That’s bullshit.”

Not only does this diva prick want to come back so he can reset his HOF clock, he also wants to be begged back.

Has anyone ever had votes for the HOF, then made a come back? How would that work?

He misremembered that “I don’t seeing it happening” doesn’t make any sense.

So there is a God, after all. Unless that just means he is getting in shape for 2013. Yikes, what a thought.

I feel sorry for the Czar, he will receive a very small dowry in exchange for his daughter’s hand; she’s a rather ugly and hair girl.

He also said that he didn’t do steroids.
