Spaceman Spiff Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Who was hitting behind Pujols? I'd have pitched around Pujols before letting him swing the bat. Even if it was Larry Walker, he's batting less than .100 for the nlcs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heidenreich Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 And that's why Albert Pujols is the best player in baseball. AROD would've popped to third in that situation (if we're lucky) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, they're still up 3-2. I like their chances and I want to see them in Chicago on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halter91 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Albert hit a bomb, did you see where that thing landed? Albert is an Okay 1st baseman, not great but his bat would make up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Louis has to face in order Oswalt, Clemons, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Petite again. If they win this series I would say this would be a harder hole to come back then the Sox did last year.

Luckily for the Sox the yanks had no pitching Tomorrow night is the key. Oswalt is the best pitcher on Houston's staff. If you remember, The Cards were down 3-2 last year. They won game six on Edmonds walk off homer, and beat Clemens in game seven. If i'm an Astro fan, i want to win this in six. You never know what Clemens will show up. It could be the one who pitched game 7 of the world series in 2001 (1 run in 7 innings), or the one who pitched game 7 of the ALCS in 2003 (4 runs in 3 innings) Look at this postseason, he got lit up by Atlanta in the first round, and pitched great his start last week. As for the Yankee quip, this revisionist history is astounding. El Duque pitched the yanks to the lead in game four, the Sox tied it in the ninth off Rivera, thankd to Dave Roberts. Moose left with a 4-3 lead in game five, Gordon blew that one in the 8th giving up the home run to Ortiz. The sox won the Schilling/AROD girly swipe game 4-2, hardly a blowout. Game seven is a factual statement, that game was over before it started. Still, the Yankees blew it, but to say they had no pitching is incorrect.....

Heidenreich Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 It was a dramatic ending, but I'd be SHOCKED if St. Louis wins this series. Oswalt has been money... That he has, he's been the best pitcher in the national league the past two seasons. But, you can't overlook the mental aspect of this. The Astros have had three chances to put the Cardinals away (games 6 & 7 last year, and the game last night) You have to hope it doesn't get in their heads. If the Cardinals can jump out early (granted, thats tough with Oswalt out there) things could snowball quick....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will give you a hint he isn't in MLB now, if they had Oswalt in game 6 last year they would have won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footballhenry Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Seriously, I am a very worried Astros fan. Anyone watching that game knows how CRUSHED the team, fans, and city was when Pujols hit that homer. I mean it was a full 180 swing from the all the fans standing and screaming to pure silence, with one more out to go and all of a sudden BOOM! 'Stros lose. Pressure is most certainly on the Astros right now, I definitely believe that mostly because in the way they lost, you could see it on all their faces, INCREDIBLY demoralizing loss.

Heidenreich Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 James Munro started game six, he gave up a 2 run bomb to Pujols in the first inning of that game. Oswalt came in for relief of Clemens in game seven last year, but the game was already over. I'm not saying oswalt is going to get lit up. I have watched him all season. IF the Cards jump out to a lead, I can see Houston hanging their head saying "here we go again" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Cardinals can jump out early (granted, thats tough with Oswalt out there) things could snowball quick....... Good point, I agree that the mental aspect of the game is important. However, if Oswalt goes out there and mows the Cards down for 7 innings, they'll stop dwelling on the past pretty quickly. Pitching covers up A LOT! I want the Cards to win, I just don't see it happening. Again though, I understand why Astros fans are getting nervous, I just think they'll be able to rest easy pretty soon!

E-Dog Night Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 What's crazy is that Lidge hadn't allowed a run against the Cardinals since Moses came down from the mount. Then one little strike away, and ~ POW!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stwasm Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 This could turn out to be a "Dead Man Walking" game in that the team may not be able to recover from a harrowing experience like that. Something tells me that the Cards didn't send the NLCS back to Busch, just to lose it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
