well of course i have to give a shout to our Portland Maine Seadogs AA team facing Clemens tonight

[simple simon]

he loaded the bases in the 1st ....... though no one scored it took him 30 pitches to get out of the inning

the Yankees may be sweating

[simple simon]

Clemens gives up a triple in the 2nd but gets out of the inning with no runs scoring

[simple simon]

Clemens line so far

3ip 2 hits 1er 3walks 3strikeouts

not real impressive against AA

[simple simon]

Clemens goes 5 1/3 innings vs Portland

6 hits
5 strikeouts
3 earned runs

and he hit a batter

not so impressive ........ i know i would be pissed if i were a Yankee fan thinking he is supposed to help save the season

[MJHMarc]

Where are you getting this from, or is their coverage by ESPN on the Internet?

[simple simon]

ESPN was showing it on TV in the northeast ....... maybe the Red Sox game was blacked out up here

so far so good

[simple simon]

He walked four, struck out five, hit a batter and threw a wild pitch. Clemens had planned to throw 70-75 pitches but he was at the number after four innings. He got through the fifth with only 10 pitches, but got into trouble in the sixth, giving up consecutive singles, hitting a batter and walking another as Portland tied the score 2-2.
ESPN.com: Clemens rusty in second tuneup for Yankees

and there's a source for you

Sure doesn't look like a guy worth $4 million a month right now, does he> Is it just rust, I wonder, or is age finally catching up with him?
