100 % Asshole Says He's 99% Retired



Jim Molony of MLB.com on Roger Clemens' future plans.

Roger Clemens said he is "99-percent retired," but the Houston right-hander is keeping that one percent chance he will come back in 2005 open for at least a few more weeks.

Just as he did last year, when Clemens left one percent open following his brief retiremement after a stellar run with the New York Yankees, the future Hall of Famer is keeping the door open for a return to the Astros for one more season.

"There's nothing yet, it's way too early to decide what I'm going to do," Clemens said Wednesday afternoon after participating in teammate Andy Pettitte's charity golf tournament in Deer Park, Texas. "I kind of know which way I'm heading but I'm going to take some time to talk things over with my family, so we'll wait and see. Ninety-nine, that's the way I'm leaning."

Keeping in mind that the Red Sox might need to replace Pedro Martinez and/or Derek Lowe in their 2005 rotation...ahhh, never mind. The commute between Fenway and the Clemens clan's little league games is too great.
