This game makes me proud to be an Astros fan... and Braves fans should feel the same way regardless of the turnout (obviously we'll win ;-). Everyone is out there putting it on the line for nearly 6 hours...
If there's ever been ANY question in people's minds about whether the Braves are our ultimate nemesis/rivals this puts it to bed.
He starts tomorrow if it goes to tomorrow. No way he pitches. The announcers have been speculating that he's already in Atlanta.
Putting Pettitte in is NOT an option... tomorrow is another day where we have the upper hand from the get go. Clemens can probably go 2-3 more and then Oswalt could go 2 or so... after that we should just flip a coin!
You have to assume Clemens will finish the game. He's at 29 pitches. He should last another 4-5 innings if necessary. We won't see Pettitt because of a possible Game 5. Oswalt would be next if needed.
man i wish we hadn't pinch run for berkman. and man i wish we'd stop swinging for the fences. i know we wanna end it but getting a baserunner is the way to go since we have so little power. come on triple A lineup, pull it off.
Big mistake my Garner in this ballgame to take out Berkman & Lamb...now we have a big hole in the lineup. On the other hand, they will be more fresh tomorrow then the Jones' of Atlanta.
