Sick of the Rocket

Since the baseball free-agent filing period began after St. Louis' World Series victory, some big names have officially hit the market. Jason Schmidt, Barry Zito, Frank Thomas and Nomar Garciaparra are among them.

On Thursday, Roger Clemens threw his name in the free-agent ring -- sort of. The Rocket said he would possibly return AT SOME TIME this season to play for one of four teams -- Houston, Boston, Texas or the New York Yankees.

Note to the Hendricks Brothers: Please stop your client. This is getting ridiculous. Either retire or sign on for the full season, Rocket. Don't make a mockery of a system that has set your wife and children and children's children and their children's children for life.

With the career Clemens has had, he's a given for Cooperstown. But the end is playing out like a badly written sketch comedy. And someone needs to put a stop to it.

The difference between Clemens and the Stones is the type of "junk" they each use -- or used. Allegedly, that is.

If you got something to say, at least say to my face.
