The Houston Astros (#5)

How do you go from saying Roger Clemens should have easily won the Cy Young to saying he should retire?  The way I see it, I don't care if I'm 89 years old, if my ERA was 1.89, I would come back and pitch another year.  The better argument is that Clemens should retire to help the Astros with their payroll.  Did you know that Clemens accounts for 25% of Houston's payroll?  It sure would have been nice to have Jeff Kent hitting behind Lance Berkman in the World Series, but thanks to Clemens 18 million dollar salary last season, they couldn't afford him.  As far as what's wrong with the Astros, you may recall that they made the World Series, so as an Astros fan I must pull a Drew Rosenhaus here and say "Next Question."

good point, i contradicted myself a little. I guess I was trying to point out that 1) Clemens SHOULD have won the Cy Young this year, and 2) Regardless of that, he should retire now. Both for himself and the Astros' payroll.
