Plum Crazy

Roger Clemens is still waiting for his 300th win. Sure, you say, you can understand how he could blow his 300th win on a good team like the Red Sox. But come on, couldn't any idiot (other than Jeff Weaver who used to play for Detroit) beat a team like Detroit? A team that is playing .267 ball? Up until the 5th inning, you'd have thought so. Roger had a 7-1 lead. And then he and the Yankees fell apart. 5 runs and 3 errors later, the inning was over. It looked like the Yankees were still going to win this when they scored another run in the 6th, making it a 8-6 game. But Roger was not to be so fortunate. The Tigers got 2 runs in the 7th, tying it up. It then took the Yankees 9 innings to score again, finally winning the game in the 17th inning 10-9. David Wells, who wound up pitching 5.2 innings, now has a 7-2 record, and Roger has to wait until Saturday against the Cubs to try again. If he keeps this up, he might actually get 4,000 strikeouts (he's 9 short) before he gets 300 wins.
