08:17 AM ET 08.31 | The fuse is lit. Roger Clemens is moving closer to returning to the major leagues with the Astros. Astros general manager Jeff Luhnow told CBSSports.com's Jon Heyman that he plans to have a scout watch Clemens pitch [for independent Sugar Land] on Sept. 7. The strong speculation in baseball has been that if all goes reasonably well that night, Clemens will then pitch for the Astros five days later, on Sept. 12 against the Cubs. Clemens, who turned 50 on Aug. 4, last pitched in the big leagues in 2007 with the Yankees. He would be on this December's Hall of Fame ballot, but that eligibility will be delayed for another five years if he pitches for the Astros.

This is the chance that Clemens wanted to push the HOF clock back another 5 years hoping that they let steroid cheats in by that point.

This is like a circus commercial, come one come all and watch a 50 year old man try to pitch and dazzle the Cubs with all kinds of gadgets.

I think he's hoping if he's not on the ballot with all the other cheats, maybe people will forget. He'd be wrong. If he does pitch for Houston, I hope he gets a line drive into his nuts ... what's left of them any way.

Either that's his motivation, or the Astros are looking at a Satchel Paige, sell some tickets, promotion.

it's the name of a minor league baseball team, also slang for mosquito. Why on earth would that word be censored?

The word s_k_e_e_t is also slang for ejaculation, which is probably why it's censored. Pretty stupid if you ask me.

That is indeed stupid. I've never heard it used in that context before.

If Houston lets this dipwad pitch, I hope they lose 120 games next year, and every year for the rest of the century. I don't know why he is worse than the rest of them, but he is.
