First of all, you cannot blame the close losses on Clemens. We still need to upgrade our offense and keep Clemens. Secondly, I was mostly referring to letting Clemens and Pettitte go in a package deal, as that was referenced in a previous post. And how can you not think letting them go would destroy our playoff hopes? We are going to get rid of our #2 and 3 pitchers? Two of the best pitchers in the league? And replace them with whatever offense the Rangers would give us? The Rangers have tried to win with just offense, and it has not worked. Also, going to the Rangers would not be doing Clemens a favor. Sure, he may tack on a few more wins to his career total, but the Rangers are not making the playoffs. The A's or Angels will win the division and the Rangers don't stand a chance to make the WC. We still have a legitimate shot at the WC, and one last shot for Clemens to get a ring with us.
