God of wonder, God of might, God with royal beauty bright... please make this go away. The Back Bay is already weighing too heavily on the swampfill beneath it; if that fat bastard comes back to the Red Sox, half the city will sink under the Charles. Boston would look like New Orleans by the first Yankee series.

yEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAH!
YEaH! Yeah! YEAH!
Please let this happen.
In fact, let it happen, and let him lead them to another world championship. Then it can be discovered that he kept a kiddie-porn dungeon beneath Yawkey Way, and he can retire and go into the hall as a Yankee. I want as conflicted an emotional relationship as possible between King Lardo and the Boston faithful.

If Clemens Redux happened, the media overexposure would make the T.O. debacle look like a farm subsidies debate on C-SPAN 12. Everything would be about Roger returning "home" to erase the only blemish on his career.
Personally, I can't see them taking him on after shipping out Pedro and trying their damndest to do likewise with Manny. Clem's sweetheart deal with Houston (only showed up for his own starts) is going to be the starting point for negotiations, and that won't work with the locals. I'm not trying to criticize the Clem (for once)... you cannot deny that he's earned the right to name his price, and when that price is more family time, it's hard to attack him anyway. I'm just saying it'd be hypocritical for the Sox to make a special case for him.
Regardless, the rotation is so deep right now that I see no good reason for signing him other than PR. Well, I guess there's the possibility of a wing-eating contest against Schilling and Wells over the All-Star Break (to benefit The Jimmy Fund, of course).
