Chapter 62.1: Dud Rocket

Watching the first couple innings of last night's Mets victory over the Yankees, I couldn't help but notice that Roger Clemens wasn't pitching with too much velocity. His fast ball was mostly hitting 90, 91 miles per hour. Oliver Perez was in the same range -- sometimes a little faster, and I saw at least one 95 mph pitch -- but Clemens is known for his fast ball. I understand that he's 44 years old; more importantly, he knows how to pitch and has impeccable location. I'm just saying he's lost a lot of velocity.

What he also lost was the game, I'm happy to say. Let's Go Mets!
