Roger Clemens is now in the All Star Game
« on: July 14, 2003, 12:38:11 PM »
Roger Clemens is in the All Star Game, after Bud said that he was replacing Barry Zito.

The person is most surprised about this decision was Barry Zito who said that him being out of the Game is news to him.

This is the ninth All-Star selection for Clemens, who turns 41 on Aug. 4, and his second as a member of the New York Yankees. Clemens has represented the Boston Red Sox five times and the Toronto Blue Jays twice.

He is replacing Oakland left-hander Barry Zito, who would not have been available to pitch Tuesday after hurling eight shutout innings Sunday at Baltimore.

Barry Zito (who won the CY Young Last year) says that he would've been able to pitch one inning in the game. Now who would know better on whether or not Zito can pitch the commish or Zito himself? Also the A's didn't want him to pitch and told Bud to take Zito out of the game. Clemens doesn't deverse to be in the All Star game this year, I don't care if it's his last year. He shouldn't be in the Game. Just like Jordan shouldn't have been in the NBA All Star Game.
