He re-injured his groing and got scratched froma start for the Yankees. I think he is done and will never pitch again...the Yankees wasted nearly 18 million on him to not start. Groin injuries can take several months to be completely healed from.

HaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHaHa...Yet another bonehead decision in the annals of Steinbrenner and co. His acquisition was purely to put people in the seats and try to revive the dismal, pathetic season the Yankees are demonstrating. Boo Hoo Hoo, Yankee fans, The Red Sox are just to tough...Maybe Clemens can juggle oranges or chainsaws during the 7 inning stretch at Yankee Stadium.... That might get a Wow!!! out of a few fans....HaHaHaHaHaHa

it doesnt seem that serious from what i just read :( from yahoo sports):
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman spoke to Clemens, who threw off a mound on Saturday.
"He called it a fatigued groin, not a strained groin," Cashman said. "I think he's optimistic it's a short issue.... I don't think this is that big of a deal."
The 44-year-old, seven-time Cy Young winner came out of retirement to take a prorated share of a $28 million salary to help New York overcome a double-digit deficit in the AL East. The Yankees considered having Clemens pitch this weekend when they played the AL East-leading Red Sox, but decided to ease him in without the hubbub surrounding their biggest rivalry.
With Saturday's loss, New York trails Boston by 13 1/2 games. Clemens will lose $153,006 for each day he's not added to the major league roster.
hope this helps, i think the rocket will be pitching with in a few weeks ! if not, he sure is losing a boat load of potential money eh?,lol)

He doesn't get paid until he gets activated, so he's not costing the Yankees anything right now. Well, maybe a tiny bit of minor league salary.
He'll pitch.

i dont think so, i have always and still do believe this was/is a publicity stunt. can you see the trivia question now, with which team did Roger Clemens last pitch in a major league game.

Who cares? He's burned out and the Yankees have enough money to pay for another pitcher.
