Never the same after he got nailed on that liner. Didnt he start like 9-0?

[BSN07]

I think he was something like 10-2 at the AS break that year. He was doing great. But ya when they guy served up that liner that bounced of his dome, he was never the same.

[TheKilo]

That's really not true - dude's shoulder was shredded and he started to go bad even before the liner.

[BoSox21]

tough way to end a career

 

but when you cant even make the Jays rotation...well the writing's on the wall

[Dojji]

Actually the Jays' rotation looks to be decent this year. At least everyone who should make it probably belongs in Major League Baseball. And with Marcum and MacGowan coming back at some point waiting for an opening that might not arrive probably isn't anyone's cup of tea.

 

I feel bad for the guy though. He worked very hard for his comeback.

[BoSox21]

Roy Halladay is Roy Halladay and Jesse Litsch is pretty good but I find it hard to be optimistic about what David Purcey, Ricky Romero and Scott Richmond will give you

 

Marcum is done for the year no matter what and McGowan looks like he could miss the entire year

[a700hitter]

He made a lot of money for stinking.

[Cocos Disciples]

A superbly average pitcher. I guess I appreciate what he did in the first half of 2005...

[Keeper]

I witnessed his best years and actually saw a gem of his in person. That goatee he sported was so goddamn ugly.

Yeah, that alien life form was pretty ugly.

Anyone remember this and the shitstorm that followed?

[ORS]

No, and you are just a Clement-loving Pedro hater.

Wasn't there for that one but reading it now the "I am Clement" scene was masterfully done.

Clement has been the center of some of the more entertaining conflicts on Talksox.

I forgot about that. "You killed Matt Clement you BITCH!!!" 05/06 was crazy up in here. We need to bring that atmosphere back.

[Dojji]

Just as long as we aren't bringing the 05-06 TEAM back. I much prefer the Matsuzaka Era so far.

[stinge]

LOL! was it worse than Kevin Youkilis. I'm a die hard sox fan, but I wish he would at least keep that red rug shaved down. He looks like the missing memember from zz top.

As long as he puts up the numbers he did last year, he can have a goddamn penis hanging from his chin for all I care

[Mr Crunchy]

He did win more games than Jarret Wright and Carl Pavano over the same time frame didnt he?

considering he hasnt thrown in anger in 3 years I find this impressive.

[Ray10]

Honestly the guy doesn't have many more options other than retiring he's gonna end up being a Minor league pitcher by the looks of things I don't think he has the stuff anymore to make a big league squad to be honest. His injuries really did him in.

[J. Morgan]

As a Cubs fan, I saw Clement's games quite a bit. Frustrating and inconsistent. He would look great one start, and then horrible the next.

 

I wish the guy would have had better luck in Boston. Shame.

[Youk Of The Nation]

Yeah, but which reliever can I threaten to cuckold this season? They're all doing okay.

[Dojji]

Except for Javier Lopez.

[BoSox21]

I heard the Red Sox just acquired the guy who gave up Sheffield's 500th homer, apparently lefties bat only .170 against him and clearly Francona showed faith in Jones yesterday so I really think Lopez's days are numbered
