Are you insinuating that there is not enoough Clemens coverage?

I just think it's strange that the guy is second on the all-time live ball win list and this historic win isn't getting more press. Of course Maddux won #340 today so he's not that far behind. How good was that Braves' staff...??

I think that he has gotten so much press that unless he does something extraordinary, it is just another record for a guy that has a boatload of them.
It is an tremendous accomplishment.

0-0 after two...Bedard struck out the first 4 Yankees he faced, each team has a single. 7 guys 40 or over were scheduled to start today, MLB record.
