I thought I heard the Houston people confirmed that he wasn’t going to pitch for them

when the Roid-kit suits up for the Astros, we can only hope that the opposing team will bring back Mike Piazza for one last game.

If this were to happen, I’d probably drive down to Houston for it.

its been national news, but has anyone actually gone out to sugarland to see him? i dont know. i guess 10 more people in the ballpark is an improvement.

It’s also a minor league, independent team. If Clemens pitches in the majors one more time I guarantee you it would be a top story on Sportscenter, unless Terrell Owens kills himself the same day, or something like that. And yes it would be at least a few thousand more people in the seats. That’s not a bad thing. We’re already a circus freak show at this point in the season, do we lose much harm by embracing it further?

I’m mainly just playing Devil’s Advocate here. I don’t actually want him to come back. But I don’t think it would be terrible if he did. It might make us a little ridiculous, or it might simply generate a little more revenue that we otherwise wouldn’t get.

The fact that he’s doing spot starts for the Skeeters has been damn near national news. You don’t think him pitching in Minute-ron Field one last time would put some butts in the seats who wouldn’t otherwise be there? I think it would.

Nobody wants to watch that horrid team now. The local ratings are miniscule and the actual attendance is nowhere near the 13,000 or so that they announce. Don’t see what harm a Clemens appearance would cause. Might sell 10,000 more tickets.

i wonder if clemens pitching will really do anything. who wants to go watch a fat ass 50 year old pitch for a horrid team? not me.

I’m really confused by it too. The only practical reason I can come up with his attendance has been shitty and Crane is trying to churn whatever revenue out of this year that he can.

Meatheads like this are what cause more ‘disprect’ for a program than anything a team does on the field….

sans throwing helmets/haymakers at the other team, like a scene out of Troy.

When did the Rockies become such shit? Just a couple years ago they were trending up, with two young stars locked up long-term.

[shrugs]

I can tell you exactly how the Astros became shit though.

I really hope that that doesn’t happen. The sole reason, I think, would be to boost ticket sales right at the end of the season. Otherwise it seems very out of character from an owner and a GM who seem very professional and focused on the rebuilding project at hand.

That would be the only “good” reason to do it, but the bad press/PR the team would get would be the downside.

I agree.
