Clemens Didn't Look Bad

[sidekick]

Well, his first start came and went with pretty good success. Roger didn't look too bad in his first start. The added plus was the spark he seemed to add to the Yankees clubhouse. Let's see how he does against some of the elite teams.

Thats fine, If Clemons comes in and goes 8-2 over the rest of the season, the Yankees still don't have enough pitching to get to the playoffs.

That was a bad game for my Pirates.

He can go 15-0, and they STILL might not make the playoffs....That hole they are in is WAY TOO DEEP.....

 

[vurbano]

against one of the weakest hitting teams in baseball he looked average.

I actually have to agree with you.

 

[vurbano]

For the millions they are paying him he had better look better than that.

 

[cybok0]

he's just getting to old IMO.

As Ricky Ricardo would say: "I dun thin so Lucy" They've won 6 in a row .... and btw, aren't there over 100 games left?

Actually 101 games left and if they go 65-36, they would end up with 95 wins and that might be enough to win the East, then again, maybe not.

Are they capable of playing .650 + ball ?

Tigers and Indians are 6 and 7 games ahead of the Yanks for the wild card, and the Tigers are waiting for pitchers to get back.

Passing 4 teams in the WC race will be harder than playing .650 ball, which I don't see happening either.

[sidekick]

Yeah, I guess you're right ... kind of like wishing the Heat will make the playoffs next season ...

Unless you see a major collapse somewhere, it is wishful thinking.....

This looks very doable to me. Alot of ifs....

I don't see it happening, I think the Yanks will cool off here soon.

Jimbo

 

[sidekick]

I agree ....

[salsadancer7]

Yep...IF there was pitching.....and I am sorry....having a 40+ year old Rogers Clemens is NOT pitching....

....and IF may aunt had balls...she would be my uncle.....
