    How long do they plan for him to pitch though? He may be on like a 40 pitch count or something......first game pitching in years and hes like 700 years old.

    do any news search and you'll get quotes from Roger...
    this is a big deal for the club and the only way Roger won't stay in the game
    for a very good stretch is if he gets blown out of the park...
    he said he would only walk off early if he's hurting the team's chance to win.
    The Under 50.5 count bet is paying +140.

    "I don't know how much clearer I can say it," Clemens said Friday. "I'm nowhere near major league ready, nor have I been training or pitching in that type of mode."

    Bill Lee pitches all 9 innings to break his own record of oldest pitcher
    to win a professional baseball game at 65.

    and Roger frikkin Clemens would put on a uniform and hit the mound if
    he couldn't fan batters ? ya, right... he may not be MLB ready, but
    neither are the batters he's facing. Clemens wants to return to Astros,
    IF he can shake it. This is not a joke. He wouldn't be out there if
    he wasn't throwing well.

    I can't even find the bet at any of my books. Maybe it's an omen.

    Guys while you were debating the SO line has moved to -160.
    We're talking about needing only 3 SO's.
    And with Over 50.5 up to -565 from -180
    the writing is on the wall.
    In the other thread you can still see the original lines as pastes
    directly from 5D.

    -180 to -565 on this bet was probably due to $200 wager.

    Dont read into it that much

    Oil Can Boyd pitched six innings striking out 4 in his first start in one of these independent leagues not too long ago after being away from baseball for 8 years, and 14 years removed from the MLB...to put things in perspective. Put up a 3.83 ERA in 16 starts that season in total.

    This is probably the best rating that ESPN Classic has gotten in years.
