Roger Clemens showed up at the Astros mini-camp yesterday, and threw batting practice to his son, Koby. He also talked about returning for another season.

Following the 20-minute workout, Clemens said he's still not sure if he wants to pitch again.

"One week I get up and feel like I can do it again, and the next week I don't want to get out here in the outfield and start running those poles and doing those things," Clemens said. "If last year's World Series was it for me, I'm more than happy. We didn't reach our ultimate goal, but it was a lot of fun.

"I have a lot to think about on that. Everywhere I go — I was just at a few events — and (Derek Jeter) and (Jorge) Posada are talking to me all the time about (coming to) the Yankees. Every time I come here, everybody talks about coming back to Houston, and I appreciate it. It gives me the opportunity to go out the way I want to go out."

I still think Clemens will take off until May 1, then sign with the Astros. That way, a shorter season may hold off the injuries that limited his effectiveness in the post season.
