Odds and Sods

Roger, can you please just be honest with us for once.  If you are going to retire, retire.  Announce it a press conference.  Be on your merry way.  Introduce yourself to your family.  Take a cruise on a private yacht.  Unpack the boxes in your lavish mansion.  Do whatever it is you and Andy Pettite do when you are alone together.

Do you miss baseball?  Hang around the Astros and throw BP.  Keep your consulting job.  Show up in the booth with Joe Buck and Tim McCarver (the only way it could get worse).  Come back in five years.  Maybe cause a controversy about what cap you are going to go in under.  Bring us all to tears with your Hall of Fame speech.  Fine.  Just announce it.  Retire.  Leave.
