According to Houston fans, media, and fellow players, Roger Clemens is clearly pretending that he is a member of the playoff-bound New York Yankees, and not the third-place Astros team for which he actually pitches. 'He's always referring to 'that series with the Red Sox,' saying that he's confident this is the year we lock up No. 27 for these great fans in the Bronx, and he spent all Wednesday celebrating, spraying champagne all over the place, and shouting 'We clinched the AL East!'' said Astros catcher Brad Ausmus, whom Clemens reportedly refers to as 'Jorge' during their meetings on the mound. 'I want to break it to him that he's not a Yankee, but I'm afraid that it's the only thing that keeps him going at this point.' When asked about the Astros' chances of earning the wild-card berth, Clemens said that 'they've got a good team over there, and even though their pitching has been weaker since that blockbuster trade at the deadline, it would be a thrill for this native Texan to face his hometown team in the World Series.'
