I might be wrong, but I am convinced he is headed to Boston :103631605


Houston is 5 back of St Louis, Houston probably wont even make the playoffs with Roger. They certainly wont catch St Louis over 162 games. Roger isnt coming back to fight for a wild card with a team with a lousy closer and no offense.

The other possibility that makes sense, he goes to Houston and they agree trade him to a contender at the all star break if the Astros are struggling, allowing his home town Astros to get some nice prospects.

In addition to reasons he has to go to Boston, I would think he would like Papelbon and his 0.40 ERA as his closer to nail down wins.

Clemens is an attention whore, going back to Boston will make a splash. Going back to Houston is pointless and boring.

Plus a playoff rotation of
Beckett
Schilling
Clemens
Wakefield

and Papelbon as closer, with the good offense there, equals a nice shot at a ring

An attention whore is a good description. You might be right.

He will finish his career with Boston and wear the "B" when inducted into the HOF

I think he'll play in Houston so he can play with Koby during the September Call ups

Good points but the 2nd half of the season Lidge will be better than Papelbon

He doesn't need a third pitch. He just needs to locate his two pitches a little better, which he is showing signs of doing. He simply lost his release point. When he gets that back he will be okay.

When he makes up his mind, it will be with the team he thinks has the best shot at winning it all.

All this talk about being close to home, family, etc ... is bullshit.

I think Boston is likely, WW had a prop with NYY favored, but I think MR. Smith is correct. About time he decides.
