WLW These guys always seem to get us when it matters most. Pugs P.S. Anybody else going to the game tonight?
I hope so. We have bad luck against Sheets. Last year the Brewers knocked us out of contention..let's hope it's diff this year.
If there was one guy in the NL I could add to this staff, it would be Sheets. If he wasn't rotting away in Milwaukee, he'de be mentioned in the same breath as Prior, Beckett, and Oswalt. He's probably even better than all 3. Tonite is a loss. This guy owns us.
The astros finally find a way to hit Sheets. They won't score many, but with Oswalt on the mound, it'll be enough to hold them off. As for the rest of the series... WWW
sheets does own us but up till this year he has been totally inconsistent. same thing with beckett who's really only pitched really well in the playoffs. i'd put him at the same level as beckett but he's gonna have to do this again next year before i put him at the oswalt/prior level. hopefully we win, it will be real tough if we can't find a way to atleast take every oswalt and clemens start from here on out.
www although I'm worried about the san fran series, since we're using up clemens and oswalt in this one
They should both pitch in the San Fran series. Oswalt goes Wednesday and Clemens Thursday. The good news is we should miss Sheets next weekend, and have Oswalt and Clemens for the STL series. WWW
WWW No matter what Sheets may do to us, RoyO will find a way to outdo this and we'll scrap a run however and win.
Sheets can be nasty at times, but lately he hasn't been very sharp. If we get pass him tonight, we should sweep this series (and we almost have to). WWW.
