Is it Final yet? Game 1: Clemens Game 2: Pettitte Game 3: Oswalt Game 4: Backe Game 5: Clemens Game 6: Pettitte Game 7: Oswalt is this correct???
Game 4 will never be "final" for either team. The manager can choose to switch it up and use a three man lineup.
Well let's hope it doesn't come to that for the stros... that would mean we are down 0-3 before game 4.
yes..that's what i've been reading for a couple of days. but as fatty said..it's subject to change all the time.
it's garner people...he could change it, one hour before the game. but i think, and so does everyone else. it's going to be clemens in game 1 and then pettitte and oswalt. i like the lineup. even though clemens has been just "good" in the playoffs on the whole for his career he's been lights out in the WS, 3-0 with 1.3 ERA. i think it's important to have him going first.
I wish Oswalt would get more starts earlier in the series. Ideally I wanted him starting the 2nd and 6th games just like in the NLCS. That's why stretching out the series to 6 games messed us up. If we would have won game 5, Oswalt would have been set up to start 1 and 5, which is just as good or better as he could have set the tone for the series.
