The Astros now have some freedom. Their bullpin is fine. They could either put in Clemens or Munro in Game 6. If Munro wins, they start with Clemens then Oswalt against the Red Sox. If Clemens starts then we'll just have to lead with Oswalt then Backe. Not too bad of a situation.

I say start Munro and rest Roger for game 7.

Starting pitchers on 3 days rest is just generally a bad idea. Starting your 42-yr. old ace strikes me as stupid.
Even if a pitcher in that situation pitches fairly well, it's likely you will only get about 5 innings out of him. The Astros bullpen short of Lidge isn't very good. Which means you will have several innings where that vulnerable pen has to get the Cardinals out (assuming you even have the lead) before you get to Lidge.
So, best-case (IMO), is you get about 5 innings/2 runs out of Clemens. Worst-case is he gets shelled.
Munro has a decent shot of getting through 5 innings himself. And even if you lose the game, Clemens fully rested for game 7 sounds pretty good.

They certainly have the advantage now. Although the home team has yet to lose and the series goes back to St. Louis.
Hey, I thought the Yanks had the advantage in the 2001 WS, going back to Arizona up 3-2. But it didn't work out (even though they got to Mariano with a lead in the 8th). True that the Cards don't have the pitching that Arizona had, but neither did Arizona have the offense the Cards have.

If it does get rained out tonight, then it seems for the last 3 days, at least, the breaks will go the Red Sox way for the first time in years! The Sox need a night to rest their bullpen, which is more important to them than the Yanks (because who knows how long Schilling can go).“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

What a great start for the Sox. The umps made a good call by reversing their decision. It was most obviously a homerun.

Schilling is a freaking trooper. I'm impressed. Even if he ends up losing the game, he's been great so far with torn tendons in his ankle. That's amazing.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

Red Sox
Even if the Red Sox lose this series, these past few games slowed the Yankees down a bit so they don't have as much momentum going to the world series.Comment

He struck out Cairo. The strikeout pitch was a 94 MPH fastball that blew by Cairo as he missed. It was pitch number 67."I predict your ignore will rival Ben's" - Ecofarm
