Yanks beat the Pirates 9-3 and finished with 7 strikeouts in 6 innings pitched. Are the Yanks slowly turning the corner???-lol

5 straight wins now. They have cut that Red Sox lead from 14.5 to 10 (could be 9.5 by the end of tonight). Baby steps...first get the lead in the wild card...only down 5.5 games in that. Then they can make a push for the division.

Oh yes...Clemens was solid. 7 K's in a game at almost 44...amazing.

Still don't like him.

Possibly, but don't bet on it! After the way the Red Sox tore up the Diamondbacks last night, it wouldn't surprise me if they did it again. Roger Clemens, alone, can't save the Yankees, because they would still have to challenge the Tigers(they beat the Mets, 8-7) for the AL Wild Card. The Yankees need to quit worrying about the Red Sox and focus on straightening out their starting pitching problems and trying to catch the AL Wild Card-leading Tigers. They have the bats, but lack of defense will hurt them.

I am glad for Rofer Clemens

The Yankees won't even make the playoffs. Clemens looked horrible in his warm-ups in the minors, and he was lucky to finally get some run support tonight. Doubtful he'll even finish the season, especially not without further injuries.

Still a long way to go PAV-lol

I never liked Roger Clemens when he came to the Bronx the first time.

He was a dirty player when he pitched against the Yankees.

Then he joined the team, and he was a savior.

Then the "retired" and went to play for another team.

Now all of a sudden he wants to come back to New York. When he wants to. No, I won't bother with Spring Training like the other players; I'll come back when I am ready.

That's a load of crap. The George Steinbrenner of old would never have let some pitcher set his own terms as to when he wanted to join the team.

Yet today, the fans greeted him like some returning hero.

You suck Roger. You are a mercenary. The only thing you care about is your bank account.

Stop applauding him Yankees fans. He doesn't care about you.

Here endeth my rant.

;)

How lucky for Clemens to pitch his first game back against a National League team. Can't wait for him to get knocked around the first time back against an American league team.



Yeah you can't get to hype over a win of the PIRATES-lol
