Paul Seppala gave up a long homer to Otis Nixon and said:
PS> I'd be leary of giving Clemens 4 years. He's at an age where you might

If they'd hit behind him and if they had a REAL bullpen, his record would be
a hell of a lot better than it has been over the past 6 or 7 seven years.
Greg Maddux has been getting the same kind of pathetic run support this year
as he has in years past but with his ERA nearly a full run higher, it
impacted his record more than the past (If anything, Maddux got even less
support than in the past because of the inflated offense). I think that Roger
has 4 good years left in him but it's hard to see that if you overlook how
badly the team has hit behind him.
