    is it me or is Roger getting squeezed by the ump while Smoltz is getting a huge strike zone?

    What will happen if it is too rainy to continue play?

    I don't think so ... Clemens is all over the place and is not going to get calls. Smoltz has been hitting his spots pretty good.

    The Astros should have put Zeke on the roster because he may be a more effective pitcher than Wandy and Clemens at this point.

    nah, roger did get some bull**** calls early on in the game though

    I'm not saying he was on tonight regardless, certainly not the case....

    but he did get robbed of a couple of pitches, and of course a couple of pitches is all you need to turn a game one way or the other

    Just watch Roger on the mound and you can see if he is feeling it, when he fidgets side to side while Ausmus is calling the pitches he looks uncomfortable, and can't hit his spots.

    When he is on, he is in rythmn, Roger tonight is like Hudson last night, just doesn't have a feel.

    I wish the Astros will come back, but I just don't see it happening tonight.

    I think that is incorrect, I think Backe pitches game 4, and Pettitte if it goes 5.

    Truthfully, I don't like Roger in clinching games, Pettitte is our best pitcher right now, followed by Roy O, and Roger would be 3rd.

    Maybe not to start over Clemens, but I'd feel better having Zeke for long relief duty than putting Wandy out there. Clemens has not been his self lately. I think his leg may be bothering him more then he's letting on.

    I was just kidding, but i dont think that raining too much before the 5th will save us in a playoff game. I dont think they would postpone it and start a new game like in regular season.
