big start for clemens tonight ...

ANAHEIM -- Every time he goes out there, the words "last start" are attached to the name Roger Clemens.

And so, this is the way it is: If Clemens doesn't help Team USA defeat Mexico on Thursday night at Angel Stadium in the third and final game of the second round, the U.S. will most likely be out of the World Baseball Classic, and the Rocket may have thrown his last game as a professional, again.
