Hondo endured another double-flusher yesterday, his second in three days, as he swirled down the drain with the Mariners and Angels to trim the earn ings to 490 frisches.

New development in the Clemens contract: On days he’s pitching, when the Yankees are batting, Roger won’t be forced to sit in the dugout with his teammates. Instead, he has been given permission to sit in the stands with his family.
