Oswalt owns the D-backs lifetime. That was why the line was where it was. Owns them as in no one in history with at least 5 starts against a team owns them like he own(ed) them. .95 era Lifetime going into tonight...and yea he was 5-0.
And basically I agree the Stros are pretenders. But you would have to give them the win tonight as a total team effort. The bats picking up the pitching instead of the reverse - the season thus far. So if you're a believer in a confidence builder type game making a big difference this may be one. And tomorrow, the reocket goes against a guy named "shell me" or something like that. He's 0-1 with a 10. ERA. Can't wait to see the line on that one. Probably lots of chalk. But I'll tell you one more thing. Last Sunday when Lidge fuckered it up agaist these same D-backs...Rocket dominated thier ass first for 6 beautiful I mean beautiful innings of work. The man shits excellence. I will lay anything less than -150 my self tomorrow.
