November 9, 200421 yr Author Clemens wins seventh Cy Young Rocket claims award in first season with Astros By Alyson Footer / MLB.com Roger Clemens moved into second place on the career strikeout list in 2004. (James A. Finley/AP) HOUSTON -- Often, the older a pitcher becomes, the less effective he is on the mound. Roger Clemens apparently didn't get that memo. On Tuesday, the 42-year-old Clemens won an unprecedented seventh Cy Young Award, the Rocket's first as a National League pitcher. In his 21st Major League season, Clemens was 18-4 with a 2.98 ERA. His win total was tied with Carl Pavano's for the second-highest in the league, surpassed only by Astros right-hander Roy Oswalt, who won 20 and placed third in Cy Young voting. Arizona left-hander Randy Johnson placed second in voting, but came nowhere close to beating Clemens. Johnson received eight first-place votes and scored 97 total points, while Clemens garnered 23 first-place votes and grabbed 140 points overall. [More in URL]
November 9, 200421 yr congrats to the rocket... good news for the marlins cause Pavano didnt even come close to winning the Cy Young so his Value just dropped...
November 9, 200421 yr Congrats to Clemens. Here's another reason for Randy to get himself traded. You can't win cy young awards on the worst team in baseball.

Doubt it.
November 10, 200421 yr congrats to the rocket... good news for the marlins cause Pavano didnt even come close to winning the Cy Young so his Value just dropped... 611586[/snapback] I dont think that sportswriter's votes trump that of scouts and performance and potential when it comes down to a contract.
November 10, 200421 yr BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i'll make Randy one out of paper and send it to him, he deserved it more
