For almost five years I did not sweat. I lived in cold places. I did not exercise. If I did, I swam. If I did not swim, I did not work hard. I did not even worry.
Now, friends, have I begun to worry. And exercise. I sweat almost daily now.
Houston always was Clemens' most logical choice. He can stay home and follow his own program, remain in the same organization as his son, Class A third baseman Koby Clemens http://mike-18.blogspot.com/
The Astros have been in even worse shape, using three starters with less than two years of major-league experience. Signing Clemens to go with right-hander Roy Oswalt and left-hander Andy Pettitte again gives them a legitimate Big Three once again. If Clemens, after several minor-league tuneups, proves anywhere near as good as he was last season, he will give the team precisely the lift it needs.
