Pettitte & Clemens mull retirement...again.

Haven't we already gone thru this before with these two guys?

Here are some links to the story:

I just can't help but wonder if steroids/hgh have anything to do with this timing. However, Clemens is a fossil and Pettitte has gone through this charade earlier in his career. Perhaps Pettitte has just lost the drive after winning a few World Series early in his career and is frustrated by injuries. Either way, I would miss watching Pettitte more than Clemens. When he is having a good day, which is more frequent than not, it is like watching an artist at work. Clemens was the best power pitcher I ever saw and I don't think I want to see him pitching another few years at a lesser level than we have come to expect.
