How cool is that. Roger "The Rocket" Clemens, one of the greatest pitchers in MLB history is returning to the Bronx to pitch the remainder of the 2007 with the Yankees. I'm made up.
Clemens pitched for the Yanks between 99 and 03, winning 2 World Series titles in 99 and 00 and taking the Yanks to 2 other World Series appearances in 01 and 03. His best mate, Andy Petitte re-joined earlier in the year.

Even at 44, Clemens has a lot to offer the Yankees, at least for this season. With Pettite and Clemes in the pitching rotation, along with Mussina (when he's fit) and Wang (when he's fit), the Yankees have 4 very good pitchers, with another couple fighting to take the 5th spot.
The pitching needs to start working if they are going to make up the games they are behind the Red Sox. It hasn't yet, and that's why the Yankees aren't in 1st place. The offense has been working, with A-Rod hitting home runs (see earlier post). We just need the pitching to get the other guys out.
