Frick, we almost got three days in a row of 100-post game threads.

i just dont see why embree was put in the game, which clement could have easily finished. you could see matt in the dugout bein all pissed about it. And another thing, i think embree was put in cuz maybe terry thought it would put embree in better light, which it hasnt with me cuz his ERA is still around the 8 mark. Im thinking that way, cuz durin the 8th and 9th innings the only relievers warmin up were myers and gonzalez ??! so yea i was very surprised them bringin embree who didnt even warm up for the game...

[Youk Of The Nation]

Yeah, that pissed me off too. So Clement allowed a single. There were two outs, and with Matt's history he had a perfect chance of retiring the last batter. Embree didnt.

Olaf isn't Russian, and he's not a mail order guy. I don't know where you got that part from :dunno:

...I made it up...

[Youk Of The Nation]

Heh, obviously.

[riverside sluggers]

whos betting clements not liking tito that much currently in the past week. first for picking bartolo colon over him for the all star game, and then last nite pulling him with just one measly out left to record

[YanksHater213]

I think Clement understands that Francona had to pick Colon over him. I believe Colon has been better anyways.

 

But yeah, if Tito took me out with one out left, I would be pretty irritated too. But he had thrown, what? Close to 125-130 pitches, thats practically unheard of these days unless your name is Livan Hernandez.

 

But credit goes out to Clement for not bashing Francona in the media.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Haha, yeah, Im sure hes pulling out the voodoo doll as we speak.

[soxie thefangirl]

That was annoying. Just give him the complete game, geeez.

[schillingouttheks]

Give him a nice long rest before his stint with the Yankees. I didn't wanna see Pedro part 2 in a smaller, not as meaningful situation. I don't know Clement personally, but it seems to me he understands things a lot better than other people on this team cough*MILLAR*cough

[riverside sluggers]

very cool that clement will be opening the series next thursday--his last start against the yankees was a 17 - 1 win at yankee stadium , so i do have high hopes for this one, i mean hey the first inning of that game, clement struck out the side 1-2-3
