	For Nipper, it would be classic reunion - The Boston Globe
		Roger Clemens's decision should come soon, Al Nipper said yesterday, probably within a couple of weeks, if not days, of the 20th anniversary of his 20-strikeout game against the Seattle Mariners in Fenway Park, which is Saturday.
		Nipper, who 10 years ago was fired by Dan Duquette as Sox pitching coach, just a month into what was Clemens's last season in Boston before he left for Toronto as a free agent, returned to the Sox as minor league pitching coordinator and was promoted this winter to bullpen coach.
		Nipper said he expects Clemens will make a decision next month and be pitching for someone in June.
