Why did Clemens come out from a 1 hitter? Man....that kind of ticks me off. If Jimmy pulled him, then scew Jimmy. If Clemens pulled himself cause he was tired, then okay...its his call. NOW WE'RE MESSING UP! DAMN
Just guessing, but I'd say that it's because it's a long season, he's 40 years old, and we had a 5 run lead. I can live with 7IP 0ER.. Plus I doubt he would have come out if he didn't want to. Too bad Miceli just gave up the shutout.
Yeah, Clemens was close to 100 pitches. With his age, and it being so early in the season, I dont think anyone, including Clemens, wants to see him over 100 pitches.
I can see it now.. Bonds will hit a meaningless homer in the 9th and it will be all the media will talk about..
lol jebus ya have about 20 posts on this page alone huh? what a win for the astros good to see a win and one hell of a pitching performance by clemens. Hope for better times for Pettite next start
Clemen's was great tonight. Man it's nice to have him on our team. Nice to see our guys hitting well!!! Great Homers tonight. So happy to see Bonds not get his 660HR off of Clemens, let alone any Astro. Great win. WOOOO.
Wow, MVP Baseball 2004 is amazingly accurate...(they had Stros going 1-2 against Giants, same games) Good to see the Rocket back on track after a mediocre spring. And to see our bats come alive. Let's hope we can start a good long winning streak to start the season off right.
The Rocket was magnificent tonight. What an amazing debut for one of the greatest ever. I'll remember this game for a long long time.
Awesome. I love Roger Clemens. We always seem to score a lot of runs in one game though and then have trouble getting much at all in the next. I'm not gonna complain though, offense was fun to watch tonight. Unfortunately, I was exhausted and trying to do some work while watching and I feel asleep from somewhere in the 5th to Doggy's double in the 8th. From what I saw though, it was awesome.
The one game I have to work through we win... sweeeeeet... Guess thats the good luck on my side, No more stro's games for me....
The best was him getting a hit in his first at bat as an Astro, and then striking out the side. (with Bonds)
We won One minor gripe I do have. Why didn't Grad...er...Jimy let Clemens walk out to the plate, then pinch hit for him. I'd really like to have given Roger the ovation he deserved. I was just about as far as I could be from the action but I LOVED every minute of it. (minus that godawful inning with Miceli)
