Couple of pretty good games so far, don't you think? I almost stayed awake for last night's ending. I have to wonder if Lidge can shake off this home run as easily as he seemed to shake off the big homer he gave up in the NLCS.
Suddenly everybody's talking sweep, but isn't the home team supposed to win the first two games? So we're not even going to wait to see what happens when the the Astros get home with Oswalt on the mound? Seems pretty foolish to me. I remember the Yankees lost the first two to the Dodgers in 78 and then won the series. The Dodgers then returned the favor by losing the first two to the Yankees -- in 81? -- and then winning the series. In '96, the Yanks lost the first two at home and then won the next four to beat the Braves.
Anyway, I'm enjoying it, even if it isn't the high profile match-up that some people would prefer.
