Will Game 5 have to much of an affect on the Astros to recover from? Do you think Oswalt can redo Game 2 performance? Will it be Clemens in Game 7 to take the 'Stros to the World Series?
I say Astros in six. This team has bounched back from this stuff all year long. Why should they start doubting themselves now? Its just one bad pitch, not like they played bad the entire game and had errors and bad plays. Its not like Sanders beat you, it was freakin' Pujols, arguably the best hitter in the league so its not like the odds weren't in his favor. But I bet they won't pitch to him again....
My feeling is we win it in 6 or we don't win. I don't like Roger in Game 7 pulling out the win. I guess that is left over from the fact that he couldn't keep a lead in the last NLCS, his hamstring is likely still bothering him, and our offensive output isn't good when he pitches. As great as Roger is, I don't think he is up to the task of pitching us to a game 7 win. So, Roy better bring it.
That pretty much sums it up for me as well . Roger is not the same pitcher he was earlier in the year .
I agree, Oswalt needs to close it out. I trust him with the ball more than Clemens, even with all of Clemens' experience and accolades.
