Maybe he's resting his pulled groin in his rocking chair that he hosed off the Yankees when he "retired" years ago. The only Yankee that should have a pulled groin is A-Rod! TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -Roger Clemens resumed his workouts at the New York Yankees' minor league complex, still aiming to make his 2007 debut Saturday against the Pittsburgh Pirates. The seven-time Cy Young Award winner threw in the outfield and briefly off a bullpen mound Tuesday, one day after an MRI exam showed a scar-tissue injury in his right groin. He also ran for 12 minutes during the 2-hour, 50-minute workout. The Yankees said Clemens is to have a full-scale bullpen session Wednesday. The 44-year-old right-hander originally planned to start Monday night at the Chicago White Sox. He scratched himself from the outing last Saturday because of what the Yankees said then was a "fatigued" groin, an injury he first felt during a minor league outing May 28. Clemens played catch Tuesday for 11 minutes - making 52 throws - with injured pitcher Phil Hughes. He also threw about 15 pitches off a bullpen mound before a 20-minute period when he discussed working from the stretch with young pitchers. Hughes is still wearing a boot on his left foot after spraining his ankle while doing agility drills May 25. Clemens didn't stop to talk with a reporter following the workout.
I think Yankee fans are masochists. My prediction is that if the Yankees get close in September, Rajah will demand to renegotiate his contract to squeeze the very last nickle out of King George or his "fatigued groin" injury will return...
