Despite the inability to chew gum and walk at the same time, Roy Oswalt proved that he is perhaps the best major league pitcher these days when the Astros beat Atlanta 7-3 in the NL Division playoffs.
Oswalt had a weird balk call earlier in the game followed by his apparent tripping over seemingly nothing and falling on the pitcher’s mound. But hey, shit happens! The Astros won. I don’t care if Oswalt did it with a tactical nuke tied around the neck of a monkey in his back pocket (although I would pay to see the video.) And how the hell did we know that a monkey with a nuke around his neck wasn’t in Roy’s back pocket, eh?
