What was thought to be the Astros great strength in this series is now a serious weakness. Roger Clemens is iffy for a game five start. So over the next three games Houston is throwing Roy Oswalt, Brandon Backe and unknown; either a less than healthy Roger Clemens, Wandy Rodriguez or Ezequiel Astacio. None of those choices inspire a lot of confidence. Except for the Garland-Oswalt matchup, the White Sox have the better starter in two of the next three games.
