Its unlikely that he would be as good as he was thing year, so all it would accomplish would be him ending his career like Michael Jordan did. I see him hanging up the boots.

oh yeah... such fake stuff...
Like the Astros didn't try to clear him through waivers w/ his OK to allow them to trade him.
Like the Red Sox didn't claim him on waivers to block a possible trade to the Yankees.
Like the Astros didn't then pull him back...
ok, whatever you say their cheif...
maybe you shouldn't make up fake stuff like "he won't sneak up on the NL again". He didn't sneak up on them this year, he's a power pitcher, they've seen that before, the reason he did better in Houston is the same reason every pitcher does better in the NL, the hitting is weaker, not just are the top hitters in the AL, but more imporant the DH rule, in the NL you face a pitcher 1 our of 9, and typically 2 more batters that are really bad hitters or automatic outs. The AL teams are just built differently.
Oh yeah, and you could have saved a lot of time by looking to see it was me asking a general question for thought/discussion... no where did I say it was a rumor or discussed that he might go to NYY or BOS. The general thought/consensus is he wont make a decisions till around the end of December which is when he starts his off-season workout and sees how his body responds, but he's still pitching good and in the NL which is easier to pitch in, he has the deal w/ Houson that he can skip road trips to watch his sons play and Pettite will be back, making Oswalt, Pettite, Clemens the best 1-2-3 in the NL if not possible the majors.
but keep going on your rant, your just still pissy I didn't use your "official thread" last year...
