Ouch. Well Schilling is no Odalis Perez, but this doesn't look good for Oswalt. Thanks for the stat.

I don't think it will make that much of a difference with Oswalt, considering the way he pitches. While his fastball is usually in excess of 95, and it probably won't be today, he simply uses it as a complement to his slow curve, somewhere around 60 mph. It's not really fair for hitters. Transitioning from a 98 mph fastball to a 60 mph curveball is not that different than from a 93 mph fastball to a 60 mph curveball.
This would, of course, be different than for someone like Clemens, who doesn't have a gap like THAT from his primary pitch to his secondary pitch.
The Braves have barely been hanging on, but man, what a great game yesterday! They made quite a comeback. I'm rooting for em to win today, although I don't want to get my hopes up. They get screwed in the playoffs far too often...
The Astros killed the Braves!!! Hahaha...finally....WOOHOO!!!! (is a Houston resident and Astros fan)
i hate the 5 game NLDS more than anything. I also hate Chris Reitsma.
Go Astros!
So much for Curt Schilling.
Take care all.
He'll be back in game 4 I think. Whether or not he can be Schilling is yet to be seen. There is obviously something wrong and if he can't perform Boston is doomed.

I must say, Al Leiter is an excellent TV analyst. When he retires, Fox or ESPN should sign him up to call games.
Big blow for the Boston Red Sox, as they lose again and now appear to have lost Schilling.
I have to say, though I know I'm in the minority here as a Yankee fan, you have to respect how good Mo Rivera is.
Take care all.
if this is a Yankees-Cardinals World Series, it will be quite a departure from the power-pitching world series of recent years. every game will be won 12-10. definitely something different.
I'm sure under the definition of clutch you would see a picture of Rivera.
A slugfest would be an interesting change of pace. Houston and Boston can hit the ball well too. Four excellent lineups in the running this year.

Well...there goes the Yankees...again. -_-
You know, I want to be a fan of the Red Sox...but not when they're continously embarassed.
I'm surprised people still watch baseball, since it's so damn predictable that NY wins everything every year.
the Yankees haven't won the World Series since 2000 and they haven't won yet it this year either.
But at some point you get sick of them grabbing the Division title and AL Pennant.Originally Posted by eestlinc
The series is tied!!!
Go 'Stros!!
