    in fairness to Garner, both Pujols and Rolen have hit Roy hard today

    a. how you gonna miss a playoff game for a baby. that's regular season material there. even if i understand that's a terrible way to not have a PH.


    b. we brought in a pinch hitter who is 2 for 12 against lefties did they say? essentially a worhtless pinch hitter (who then proved he was worthless against lefties by swinging at crap) to take out oswalt? this is like pinch hitting for lidge against smoltz with 2 outs. just leave the damn pitcher in with 2 outs and very little hope for success.

    c. the bullpen is in, we're screwed. just try to give up less than 4 so we can come back.

    he wasn't even swinging for that. he was choked up to get a slapper or just get on base. Not go for a homerun.

    I can not agree any more strongly than I do. Oswalt has not been good today, but I'd take a sub-par Oswalt over anything we can throw for middle relief.

    Next inning could be the series ... Both hearts of the lineups due up.

    I don't mind Roy being pulled ... The Cards best hitters had him locked in. I'll take my chances with our pen (amazingly).

    Lets go stros!!!!

    Damn, I'm really nervous. I hate to be a pessimist, but I don't like our chances with the way our bullpen has been lately. Hopefully they can step up big for the first time in the playoffs.

    Pujols is a machine. The man is batting .643 in the series.

    Why does this always happen to us. How can you be so effective for september and then the wheels fall off just like that. Come on Wheeler.

    Lets Go Astros!!!!!!

    I believe!!!!!!

    I'd bring in Lidge, right now. We need strikeouts.
