rocket's record

roger clemens pitching vs twins
yankees pitcher roger clemens becomes the first since warren spahn in 1963 to record 350 wins. at one point he retired 15 twins in a row. gosh darn it this is what we need from all our pitchers and not just to get in the record books. the game was on tv tonight and i duly did my part to help them win by falling asleep in the inning where the winning runs were scored :-)

the return of the rocket

surprise surprise, roger clemens has signed for the yankees again. ap reports:

"NEW YORK (AP) -- Roger Clemens returned to the New York Yankees, making a dramatic announcement to fans from the owner's box during Sunday's game against the Seattle Mariners. At the end of the seventh-inning stretch, Yankees public address announcer Bob Sheppard told fans to turn their attention to the box, where Clemens was standing with a microphone. As the video scoreboard in right-center showed Clemens, the seven-time Cy Young Award winner made the announcement himself. "Well, they came and got me out of Texas and I can tell you it's a privilege to be back," Clemens said. "I'll be talking to y'all soon." Clemens, who will turn 45 in August, agreed to a minor league contract and most likely will join the Yankees after spending several weeks getting into shape. He hopes to be pitching in the major leagues by late May or June 1."
