Roy Oswalt has retired nine straight and the Astros lead 3-0 in the top of the 5th. The Astros may win this series against the defending World Series champions, who many feel will repeat this year. Just a shame the Astros are playing some exciting baseball this late in the year when the standings no longer matter.

Houston fans could have enjoyed this fun and exciting baseball for the past month and a half. I'd rather the Astros save these well-played games for April 2010 at this point, especially Roy Oswalt who historically pitches awful in April, May and June. His career numbers before the all-star break and after the all-star break are night and day to say the least.
