Default GO ASTROS!!

Great performance from Oswalt today. The Astros have been playing
great and I've got a good feeling we'll win two of three in Atlanta and
force a playoff game with the Cardinals. The bullpen has pitched great
(except Wandy and Borowski) during the streak and the hitting has been
fantastic in clutch situations. I like that Garner is treating every
game like the 7th game of the World Series and he appears to be making
very sound and good managerial decisions.

Pitchingwise, the Astros have an advantage in game one, a tie in game
two, and a disadvantage in game three.

The Cards, OTOH, are ata pitching disadvantage Friday and Saturday, and
at an advantage on Sunday. Matchup for the Monday game vs the Giants is
a wash.

Of course, this is just "by the numbers on paper." There is a good
chance the Giants will just mail it in on Monday, some chance that
Carpenter will continue his awful pitching as of late (or be left in
too long by LaRussa), etc.

As one person has said on another forum, the Cardinals staff is
Carpenter, Wainright and 28 dwarves.

If it gets to that, I think the Giants will not just mail it in. Look
at how much passion the Pirates showed. There is a strong ethic in
baseball that teams in these situations have to make the potential
playoff team earn the win.

The teams that are more at risk for mailing it in are teams that have a
playoff spot clenched and are working to rest players and set up
rotations.
