Renck tweets that the Rox are trying to hold on until Oswalt gets back. Have they turned back the clock 10 years? This is not the 20 wins Oswalt, this is the Oswalt who was available because no other team wanted him. For good reason as we have seen.

His overall stats still show too many walks and not enough Ks, but here’s his totals for the last 10 starts: 6-1, 1.61, 61.2… Read more »
Wouldn’t want them to make same mistake they made with DrewPo, would we?
Sorry about lack of post game last night. We got home from the game and I sat down to write it up and my brothers Internet was totally down!
I’ll try to post updates from the game (and pics) live. Going to it with my man EdTheUmp!!!
