In his first start of the year, Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens went six innings and allowed three runs on five hits for the win against the Pirates.

He struck out seven and walked two while throwing 108 pitches.

As I've stated earlier, Clemens will have a tough time matching his 2.30 ERA from last year (with Houston), but he's still extremely valuable because he'll put up high strikeout totals and should get great run support. He got off to a good start today, but the Pirates aren't exactly an offensive powerhouse. Pittsburgh ranks 13th in the National League in runs, 14th in batting average, 12th in home runs and last in on-base percentage.

Clemens is scheduled to make his second start against a much tougher lineup when he faces the Mets on Friday.

And finally, I went to see Knocked Up Thursday night. What does that have to do with fantasy baseball? Paul Rudd's character, Pete, lies to his wife so that he can attend a fantasy baseball draft with his friends. Decked out in Orioles gear, he expresses excitement for getting Hideki Matsui. For the record, the Yankees outfielder is hitting .282 with six homers, 30 RBIs and 29 runs on the season.

As for the movie, I give it a seven out of 10. You'll laugh, it's worth the $8, but certainly not a classic.
