DENVER -- Yes, Roger Clemens said, 350 wins has a nice ring to it. HERE IT "RING" "RING" call for another picher
Then again, so does a third World Series ring. YEA OK!!
The New York Yankees right-hander will take the mound at Colorado Thursday looking to become the first major league pitcher to win 350 games since Warren Spahn did it in 1963.
The Yankees are listed as -182 favorites. The total is set at 10 1/2 runs.
''Everything's a blessing for me since I tipped my cap three or four years ago, whenever it was, and I was real comfortable with (possible retirement),'' Clemens said. ''Since then, I'm glad I left that percentage point open and I've been very blessed. A lot of neat things ($$$$) have come my way since.''
One thing that hasn't: another World Series title to go with the two he won in his first stint with the Yankees.
It's the pursuit of that ring that's really fueling the Rocket.
''It's been seven long years and there's still guys here that don't have a ring,'' Clemens said. ''They've made a lot of money but they don't have a ring. And I want them to have that feeling and to understand what it's like when you talk about really being a Yankee ... that's the most important thing.''
Clemens (1-1), who won World Series titles in 1999 and 2000, will make his third start for the Yankees when he faces Rodrigo Lopez (3-0) at Coors Field. He took the loss when the Yankees fell 2-0 Friday night against the New York Mets.
This is will be Clemens' fourth career start at Coors Field, where he is 1-0 with a 3.78 ERA. The only other time he faced the Rockies in pinstripes was on June 20, 2002, when he recorded a no-decision in a 14-11 loss, a game in which he allowed just two runs and five hits over four innings.
Clemens, who last pitched in Colorado on June 28, 2005, while with the Houston Astros, said he won't change his routine for the hitter-friendly park that has seen a drastic drop in long balls since the humidor took full effect in recent years.
''I'm going to try to improve on really everything I'm doing,'' he said. ''My work in between is as important to how I'm going to continue to stay strong through September and October.''
YEAH in between flying home or sitting the bench "thats right...... he don't have to be on the bench"
GOOD LUCK MR. ROGERS HOPE YOU GET SHELLED
