OH MY GOD
susan waldman is about to have a seizure on air, i think!
YAHOO!!!
Holy crap! Smartest thing we’ve done in a long time! All hail Cashman!
YES!!!!!!!
please let Torre know that he can’t use him in relief for todays game.
Hope his hammies are in shape.
Now when Hughes comes back we have our 5
Any idea of a time table for Clemens?
Wow.
If Hughes ever gets healthy…and they are both pitching in the rotation at some point.
Holy S#@$.
YEAAAAAAAAAAA ROGER!!!!!!!
that was awesome
The way they did that announcement was AMAZING!!!
no offense, i’m sure everyone is excited, but i’d have preferred to try and get it done this year with mussina,pettite,wang —- and then rasner and crew until hughes gets back
clemens walked away in 03 lets not forget
and take a look at the averages in the boston lineup, yes the pitching is top notch but that lineup besides the 2 monsters is not great
i cant wait to read mike lupicas whiny article tmrw
I’m about to have a seizure in my room. I don’t have access to YES here. Is it true? Please tell me what’s going on with extensive details.
WOW, the drama.
I nearly just crapped my pants.
Anyone want to bet we have him 30 million before proration?
Would love to see Phelps go yard
whatever
THAT WAS SURREAL!
AWESOME!!!
The Petitte connection comes through…God is a good thing!!!!
HOLY S!@#$!@#$!@#
Where’s Chris in North Carolina so he can say he told us so? Thanks for giving us the heads up when you did, Chris.
Great news!
As excited as I am still feeling the high, he still needs to give back the hummer
YES!!! THAT WAS INSANE!!!!!
Kay just said joining the rotation in a month.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!
NOTHING ELSE TO SAY
THANKS FOR THE BREAKING NEWS PETE
Wow, everything was done so covertly.
that was so amazing, one of the coolest surprises i ever remember watching during a yankees game on tv.
Get Roger and Phil together ASAP! Can’t wait until Hughes is fully healthy and Roger and him can work together!!!! AHHH!!!@!
Way, Way cool to have Roger make the announcement during the game, and then flash it on the scoreboard! Man! What a surprise!
With Clemens back, after Hughes returns the starting rotation will be:
Clemens
Wang
Mussina
Pettitte
Hughes
Pretty good, isn’t it.
It will certainly match up well with Boston.
And, Roger will be the enforcer. Other teams can hit our batters at thier own peril!
The Rocket is back!!
To all those who were absolutely sure that they “knew” that Clemens was going to sign with Boston because of whatever…This shows that we, the fans, do not know everythng that is going on behind the scenes.
By the way, same line applies to Rasner’s pitch count. Maybe with time he can go longer, but he pitched great today. He did his job.
Clemens just said first start he hopes before end of the month, or first week of June!
wow im gleeful right now
NICE.
Pete, you didn’t predict this? What a night to have a crappy mlb.tv connection… So cool that Andy was clueless about it. So excited (and very relieved that Boston didn’t get him, that rotation could have been very hard to catch up to)! Oh, do you think they flashed this on the scoreboard in Minnesota? ;o)
I think this is fantastic news, and this assures Torre’s job is safe…so now we don’t have to hear anymore fire Torre threads, myself included. So let’s sit back and enjoy this. The rotations sure looks a lot better now.
Will he be making a series of minor league starts to tune up? That’s what he did last year with the Astros.
BBfan. What a rotation!! the soxs are shaking in their redsoxs!!
Bye, Carl, take a seat, Papi.
a strong 6 innings everytime out and Hughes will have a tutor
kasey

>i’ve said it before and i’ll say it again: clemens isn’t coming to a team with an unstable bullpen and a real knack for finding ways to lose games. he said he wants another championship, and boston is his best opportunity. by a country mile, at this point.). so, that leaves the yankees with three good-to-decent starters and two massive question marks. that’s not exactly a recipe for success.
Dude, you are right and all that about the yanks and bosox. But it’s time for you to eat crow. Not that I think Clemens will be that great to begin with… but your prediction was off by a OLDE country mile.
What will be the Yankee’s excuse for not winning when the payroll is $300 million? They’ve reached a new level of absurdity, and that performance by Susan yesterday was embarassing for any fan of baseball. Yikes.
