Roger Clemens on pace to start All Star game in Houston!

Journeyman · Apr 25, 2004

I`m calling it early, at 4-0 the Rocketman will start the Allstar Game in his home state at MinuteMaid Park, and at this rate he might end up collecting his 7th Cy Young Award!!!!!!!

I can hear Elton John`s 'Rocket Man' blaring as Clemens warms up to face the American League ....

Lol, I bet George is steaming over this...Steinbrenner may tell Clemens to go into the Hall with a Red Sox cap (which he should do anyway) afterall!!

................

"I think its gonna be a long long time"

.................Rocketman

I am happy I got to see follow the guys whole career. Was in college when he was a rookie.

Journeyman · Apr 25, 2004

The thing that amazes me , his arm is still just about as good as ever, its his legs that usually hinder his effectiveness...

Clemens 4 wins

Mussina 4 losses

Clemens has driven in 3 runs while batting

Bernie Williams doesn`t have that many!

Clemens is batting a robust .333

No Yankee is batting higher than Roger!!

Clemens has given up just 6 earned runs in his 4 starts, he very realistically could win the Cy...he didn`t come back for a fairwell tour!

All time stud award goes to clemens.
as many accolades as he gets, he should get more.

After he dusts Barry off the plate.

I will GUARANTEE right now that Clemens will not win the Cy Young. 0 chance.

Faced him once already on apr 7...2ks and 1bb.

CLEMENS BY NUMBERS
Strikeouts for the Rocket on Saturday, putting his career total at 4,125, within 11 of tying Hall of Famer Steve Carlton for second on the all-time list. Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan holds the record with 5,714.

Age of Clemens and Colorado's Jeff Fassero on Saturday, marking the first time two pitchers at least 41 years old started against each other in a major-league game since Aug. 24, 1987, when Don Sutton, 42, of the Angels faced Tommy John, 44, of the Yankees.

Career victories for Clemens, tying him with Hall of Famer Gaylord Perry for 15th on the all-time victory list.

Rocket still unblemished in NL!

He`s gonna start boys...

Fishhead · May 1, 2004

Yup, I totally agree with you.

Journeyman · May 1, 2004

Remember put this in persective, Rocket has been dealing since way back when Doc Gooden was a stud...that seems like well nearly 20 years ago (which it was!)

OBTW- he`s on another 9 game winning streak.

He may end up starting game 1 of the NLDS!

I`d love to see Boston or NY vs Houston in the WS! How cool would that be?

RocketMan#1 in heart and endurance.

Celaya · May 1, 2004

No one is even close to his starting numbers. I think Roger Clemens will win the NL Cy Young award. I wonder what yankee owner is thinking of Clemens success so far. I'm sure it must be pissing him off with the way his team is going and they no longer have Clemens & pettite.

TheGeneral+ · May 1, 2004

Clemens is a great pitcher and brings tons of knowledge to the game.

bosox1086 · May 1, 2004

#1 in heart??? Give me a break. This guy has asked out of postseason games (86)... got shalacked in game 7 versus Boston last year... and dodged starts versus the Mets at Shea after throwing at Piazza's head. F Clemens.

RobFunk · May 4, 2004

im gunna retire. . .naw screw it, I'll win a cy young

what do you mean?! I was too young for 86 debacle. i just know the mets were punch drunk before they got all those singles in game 6 becuase they thought they lost.
