43 year old Roger Clemens will probably win another Cy Young award
this year.

His numbers are awesome. 1.38 ERA. 0.38 on the road. 11-4, leads league in strikeouts.
Willis and Carpenter may have more wins but Clemens is truly doing his job by not giving up runs. I hope that the writers get it right this year.

1. It is an incredible feat at any age.
That he comes out of retirement and gets these numbers at 43 is truly beyond belief.

3. Ah, screw Roger Clemens.
I don't like bullies. A talented pitcher should be able to get it over the plate without slicing the batter. I wish some day a talented batter would whack the ball right into Clemens' fat head and knock him right off the hill.

4. B.S. That's part of the game. Fastball pitcher's use intimidation.
And I don't even like Clemens.

What I think is funny, is that Boston let him go becasue they said he was in the "Twilight" of his career. Yeah, OK.
