ESPN Forgets Cubs

[rynesrevenge0206]

From ESPN.com:

 

So Houston leads this series 3-1 now. And of the 69 previous teams to find themselves in a situation like that in any best-of-seven postseason series, 59 went on to win.

 

But none of those other 69 teams had Andy Pettitte, Roy Oswalt and Roger Clemens lined up to start the next three games.

 

Wait, what???? What do you call Zambrano, Prior, and Wood in 2003?

 

Come on!

And Dangerfield thought HE got no respect !!

Zambrano was out of gas at the end of 2003. At that point in his career, he wasn't in the same range as a Pettitte, Oswalt, or Clemens. Today he is...back then he was not.

Who cares what we had in 2003. All I care about now is what we will have in 2006. It's to the point where we can't rely on Prior and Wood anymore because of their injuries.

Prior has only missed significant time once because of a predictable injury. I think if he stays away from Marcus Giles and moves out of the way of line drives, he's pretty reliable.

He missed time in 2004 and in 2005 both injuries started before the season opener and went into the season. Significant or not that is two injuries in two seasons.

The real concern with Prior isn't injuries, its his subpar (to his standards) end to 2005 (3.70+ era :( ), and high pitch counts

What? We didn't have Andy Pettitte, Roy Oswalt and Roger Clemens. We had Zambrano, Prior, and Wood

:wink:

 

Seriously, though, it's hard not to pick the Astro's to win it all at this point. Those pitchers are exactly what you want in a series.

You forgot his "minor" achilles and elbow soreness'.
