    Well he's not exactly in healthy shape right now (and just as I said that he's limping into the clubhouse :( ) Plus he's probably running out of gas...dude's 43 years old. And then his life has changed dramatically in the last month. So it's no suprise he's not in top form.

    Yea that's the way their GM built the team and it's how Ozzie likes them to play.

    I'm starting to wonder (as the announcers just mentioned) if this cool weather in Chicago is giving Clemens' hammy some problems. He seems a little bit off tonight.

    If he is so hurt than he should have told Phil he can't pitch than.

    WTF is Willy thinking bunting with runners and 2nd and 1st. Makes no sense with 1 out.

    I don't like the bunt decision...it's not like Contreras is unhittable.

    Both of these teams are so scrappy and are playing so well. Neither Clemens or Contreras are pitching particularly well. Contreras has been known to start slow though...

    That guy deserves a lot of credit. He has come up with some clutch hitting in the playoffs.

    That's one resiliant team right there!

    So, is it Wandy Rodriguez's time to shine?
