Clemens Done

Rogers Clemens walks Hafner to start the third. He stays in the pitch to Martinez, but he doesn't look right. He runs the count to 3-2 before Martinez strikes out swinging on a hittable pitch. Torre takes him out in favor of Phillip Hughes. That could be the last strikeout of Roger's career. He threw 59 pitches, only 33 for strikes.

Update: Cleveland takes advantage of every Yankees mistake. Hughes throws a wild pitch to put Hafner at second. Garko grounds to short, an easy double play ball. But the Yankees only get one out. Then Peralta doubles to right for the Indians third run of the night. They're grinding the Yankees down a run at a time.

Update: The broadcast said Clemens left due to a strained hamstring.

His last *should* have been after Game 1 of the 2005 WS when the same thing happened--he left very early, with a bad hamstring.

Please retire and don't come back, Roger. You are washed up!
