Clemens' act has worn thin
NANCY ARMOUR
AP Sports Columnist
CHICAGO - On what feels like Day 175 of the Rocket Watch, Roger Clemens threw batting practice and pronounced himself almost ready for the major leagues.
Again.
This is getting old. I don't know about anybody else, but I'm tired of Clemens' act and wish he would go away. Pitch or don't pitch. Holding a handful of teams hostage while he takes until May to decide what he wants to do, then wrangling a cushy contract that puts him above the game has gotten annoying.
Nobody is worth this kind of angst, not even a seven-time Cy Young Award winner who still has a flame-thrower for an arm at 44.

Clemens delivers a win in his return
Sunday, June 10, 2007 3:59 AM

Associated press
NEW YORK -- Roger Clemens shook off some early struggles and gave the surging New York Yankees the lift they were looking for, leading them to a 9-3 win yesterday over the Pittsburgh Pirates in his long-awaited season debut.
"It's just great to be back," Clemens said. "It felt like old times."
Pitching in pinstripes for the first time in four years, Clemens labored through the first few innings but got more effective as the afternoon wore on. He struck out seven in six innings and retired his final seven batters. Clemens fanned Ryan Doumit with his 108th and final pitch.
"It was awesome," Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez said. "I think all 24 guys were a little bit in awe. It was great."

Clemens 1st since 1963 to earn 350 wins

NEW YORK - Now that Roger Clemens has his 350th win, Alex Rodriguez and the New York Yankees are worried about a more mundane number: 15 days on the disabled list. Clemens reached a rare milestone with a vintage performance, pitching eight innings of two-hit ball to lead New York past the Minnesota Twins 5-1 on Monday night.

FYI.....it is official Roger Clemens is no more than an average MLB pitcher. I watched the game tonight and his velocity is average, his location is average and no one is intimidated anymore. 2-4? I'm glad I didn't pay for that record and the 4.20 ERA. When A-Rod (Rivera, Posada?) leaves after this year the Yankees will be mediocre and old, not a great combo.
