On Saturday morning I was reading our local newspaper and as I turned to the sports section, front and center was Roger Clemens. I proceeded to read the article and it mentioned that bullpen box and standing room only seats would be on sale beginning at 10am for Monday's game.

I raced up to the box office and secured two tickets for this afternoon's contest. Our papers' today say this will promise to be the single most covered sporting event in the history of Northeastern Pennsylvania.

ESPN will be broadcasting pitch-by-pitch and the number of press credentials requested is unprecedented. The question is my mind though is: will the "Rocket" be enough to resurrect a terrible season so far?

If all goes well today, the "Rocket should join the Yankee rotation sometime this coming weekend in Boston or perhaps he will be held back until Chicago.

However, he can only pitch once every five days and he can't help our anemic offense either. Hopefully his presence will energize a team that simply for most of the season to date has looked flat.

Whatever the case may be, Memorial Day baseball with the Rocket pitching will prove to be memorable regardless of the outcome.
