Final Score
Yankees 8
Red Sox 6
Open Mouth, Insert Foot: “Clement is usually good for at least one hot streak per year and he might just be ready to embark on it right now.�
Guess which donkey recently wrote that phrase? If you guessed Teddy Panos, step up and claim your prize!
That’s what I get for complimenting him! Next time, I’ll peek at the schedule, see that Clement is penciled in to face the Yankees next, and realize he’ll shrink from the challenge like cheap cotton in the permanent press cycle.
I refuse to waste any more of my time trying to figure out why a guy with so much talent can’t take it to the next level. For him, “next level� means climbing out of the gutter, because there’s no place for a 6.31 ERA on a team as good as the Red Sox. No more excuses. Forget the line drives to the head. Forget the shot off the leg last night. Plain and simple…this guy can’t get the job done, and it would be wise of the Red Sox to not waste much more time with him. Lord knows they’ve already wasted enough money!
Which reminds me…how’s the “value� working out in not paying Pedro? Please don’t hit me with the “Pedro wanted out� garbage. Had they “overpaid� for him like they OVERPAID for Clement, he’d still be here giving us a 1-2-3 in the rotation of Pedro, Schilling and Beckett. I'd go to war with that any day of the week.
Oh, that’s right…I forgot. We need to worry about what’s going to happen in “year four.� May I please have another cup of Kool-Aid?
There! Got that off my chest. I feel much better now. How about you? What are your thoughts on Mr. Clement?
