Hoo boy. He's gonna get railed on when he doesn't put up the crazy numbers he had with the Astros, but he's a huge step up from Kei Igawa at least.

Yes, can you? Why would he go back and play for the Astros? Would you even pick the Astros over the Yankees at this point?

Oh I was just rolling my eyes because I already knew this was gonna happen anyways, it's not surprising is all.

And hell no I wouldn't blame him for going to NY to finish in 2nd place rather than finish 3rd in Houston ;)

The Red Sox are still going to win the AL East and the wild card is coming out of the central.

At this point, I hope he suffers a career ending injury.

He's been pulling the same **** for about five years now and will do the same next year.

The only difference between Clemen$ and Favre is that Favre isn't a money-grubbin' asshat.

Favre also doesn't take months and months to decide if he is coming back or not. But they both are among the best ever at their respective positions. Favre also doesn't bounce around form team to team. But yeah I get what you are saying.
