Retired pitcher Roger Clemens doesn’t plan on pitching anytime soon, he told the Houston Chronicle on Tuesday.

“Not at this point,” Clemens said when asked if he was going to pitch again. “That could change in a couple days, but right now we haven’t talked to any of the guys or anything like that. This is good for it, good exercise. We’ll do a little cardio and try to get some more of that soreness out. It’s good soreness though. We came out of it all right and everybody had a good time, so that was the key.”

Clemens pitched on Saturday for the Sugar Land Skeeters of the Independent Atlantic League, allowing one hit against the Bridgeport Bluefish, striking out two without a walk while throwing 37 pitches. His fastball was clocked at 88 MPH.

    I could care less if he took the roids or not. Most of baseball has. I miss the millions of home runs. IT made baseball fun to watch. And don't tell me its about the kids. Kids will do what kids do. If he plays again for Astros Ill go to the game and cheer him on. All you haters can take that BS elsewhere. That is all :)

    The cheating SOB wants one more MLB start so that his HOF clock is set back 5 more years. Good way to distance him from McGwire, {Palmeiro, Bonds and the PEDs accusation. Why is his wife still with him after he threw her under the bus?

     John43 Nice sanctimonious rant.  How do you know that all the guys he was playing against were not using as well?   And if they were all on a level playing field, was anybody cheating?   It's only baseball.  Lighten up.
