I mainly watch day games due to the time difference and today I watched Houston against the Cubs.
Clemens threw 7 innings, with only one earned run.
Lights out!
Great fastball, splitter and a nasty slider.
The ump has a narrow strike zone in the beginning, but he didn't let it bother him and pitched awesome (he did talk to the young ump after the 3rd though).
Too bad Sosa wasn't there (injury).
The Rocket got his 8th win of the season.

I was dissapointed with that too, but I guess I'm getting over that now.

I think he's awesome. No hard feelings whatsoever. I hope he wins the Cy Young this year.

I just thought it was a little tacky to do a farewell tour and not really retire. It's like pretending you're getting married to get the wedding gifts. But I still like and respect the guy. Wish there were more like him around.

Good for Roger. It appears he is happy in Houston.

When I got the stupid phone I wondered what I would ever use the camera for, now I want a better one. Those pics came from a first generation Sanyo (8100)

The Chicago papers praise Roger........I have to admit i was stunned as the Wrigley scoreboard kept showing him throwing 93 92 94

Long twilight Mr Duquette....

Roger has it all Chicago Sun-Times (http://www.suntimes.com/output/mariotti/cst-spt-jay03.html)
