Clemens follows Pettitte from Yankees to Astros
The Rocket blasted out of retirement and landed back home in Houston.

Three months after Roger Clemens threw his final pitch for the New York Yankees in the World Series, the six-time Cy Young Award winner signed a one-year contract for $5 million Monday with his hometown Astros.

"The Astros worked real hard to get me off that fence after I'd gotten up on it," Clemens said. "I feel I still have a lot to give. We want to try to make memories together. That's the only reason I came out of retirement."

Bite me, Roger. I hope the Cubs knock you right back to retirement. We'll give you some "memories" to take with you.
