Just how dead are the Astros?
Prior to this season, there were 21 best-of-seven World Series in which one team held a three-game lead over the other (this includes two Series in which one of the first four games was a tie). In 18 of those World Series, the next game was the last game. In only three of those World Series did the losing team win that next game ... and none of those three teams managed to win another.

If they can win tonight, Stros will have Clemens (maybe), Pettitte, and Oswalt for 4-5-7. Stranger things have happened. It's not like the Sox have been kicking the tar out of the Stros. All 3 games could have went either way. Nobody gave the Red Sox a chance down 3-0 last year either.
