Yanks find themselves rolling for the first time all season. Their new super savior in Clemens has arrived, fatigued groin and all, and still managed to get them a win. Optimism is alive and sprouting for the moment in NY.
While six straight is nice in the short run, let’s take a peek against the competition shall we? The struggling ChiSox are in the midst of a 3-12 slump. The Pirates, perennial doormats, have gone 4-10. After all this success, the Yanks still haven’t been able to peek above .500. Must be difficult to take.
Clemens did pitch relatively well, but who doesn’t against the AAA Pirates at home. He wasn’t horrible his first time back, but he did have 80+ pitches after 4. He’s going to give you a consistent 5+ innings most nights. While that’s an upgrade over the guys they’ve been trotting out there, it still leaves a hole in the pen, and questions about his physical breakdowns will
continue to linger.
According to Torre, “Roger doesn't have to be Superman, just Reliable Man”. OK Joe. Let’s see how he stacks up against the Mets in round 2. Probably more like “Rubber Man” with that hammy… Maybe we’ll see some t-shirts in the house?

Do they pay you for this - cause this one really sucked
Doesn't suck as bad as your lame comment.
Anything else to say Mr/Mrs. Clever?
