nyjunc said:he didn't fake an injury in '86, the only person who said he wanted out was McNamar and he was just trying to save his own behind. Roger pitched great in a Game 7 on the road vs. Arizona for us- for that I will always be grateful and his WS era is tremendous.
He DID fake an injury in 1986. I personally know players on that Red Sox team as well as the Red Sox trainer and everyone said Clemens had no blister on his finger which he claimed and one never showed up. Trust me on this one, he did fake his injury as a way out.
No question about it he pitched a great Game 7 vs. Diamond Backs and also a very good Game 3 in 2003 vs. the Red Sox, other than that you can't really name the other great post season performances where he did well (I don't count the WS Game 4 vs. Braves, he didn't have a lot of pressure on him because the series was over already).
