DISAPPOINTED...THAT PERFORMANCE ISNT WORTH WHAT HE IS BEING PAID. HE SHOULDNT EVEN GET 3 RUNS IN A 9 INNINS LET ALONE 6. THIS WAS A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT.

For a 1st start of the season and at age 44, I would say that was expected. I think it was a good idea for the Yankees to have his first start against the Pirates at home. It gave him an opportunity to work off the rust against a poor team and he had the home cooking. Clemens will have a great impact on this team, the players seemed a little more focused, and wanting to put the extra effort into the game. The Yankees are making their move, and I expect Clemens each time out to get stronger and stronger.
