ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Roger Clemens' muddy future may have cleared up a little bit after Thursday's 2-1 World Baseball Classic loss to Mexico.

Clemens didn't talk to print media after the loss, in which he gave up two runs and six hits over 4 1/3 innings of work, but he released a potentially telling statement.

"They got to see the competitive side of my nature, and for me, right now, it's goodbye," he said.
