Clemens Get thumbs down for U.S. Olympic Team: Bob Watson (U.S. General Manager) doesn't want the distraction from the team, and is not expecting to be overruled from higher ups.

Seems odd to me that Watson would even make a public statement like that at this point. I'm going to assume that a reporter asked him if Clemens was being considered, not that he made some sort of public address. This just seems to me like The Sporting News made the best headline they could out of it.

I bet Roger is losing a lot of sleep over this too.

I'm sure Roger is bummed about that. Don't think he was even slightly considering it anymore. Seems odd to me that Watson would even make a public statement like that at this point. Must have been a slow news day.
