    This is really tough one. It's between Andy and Roger, Roy didn't have his best stuff in last year's playoffs (6.75 ERA in the LCS, 4.19 ERA in 4 games, only won 1). Roger has had an amazing season, he had an ERA under 4 (3.60) in 4 games in last year's playoff's, and he has had consistent (good) performances in most of his series, including the World Series. However, I have to give it to Andy. He was on fire in 2003 for the Yankees in the post season, including a 0.57 ERA in the World Series (in 2 games) and a 2 ERA in the 5 games he started before the WS; Not to mention the guy is heating up again, and we just always seem to win with him pitching, give me Andy.

    Edit: and for some reason I thought that said game 7 of the WS. Nevertheless it's a big game, and Andy is known as a good big game pitcher.

    I picked Roger, however this season seems like I should have picked Roy or Andy since they get more run support.

    Roger is so intimidating he scares off our bats! :eek:

    It's not Roger's fault for the lack of run support when he pitches.

    Would you have let Knepper pitch the ninth, or go to Dave Smith?

    METS 9TH: WALLING STAYED IN GAME (PLAYING 3B); DYKSTRA BATTED
    FOR AGUILERA; Dykstra tripled to center; Wilson singled to right
    [Dykstra scored]; Mitchell grounded out (third to first) [Wilson
    to second]; Hernandez doubled to center [Wilson scored]; SMITH
    REPLACED KNEPPER (PITCHING)
    ; Carter walked; Strawberry walked
    [Hernandez to third, Carter to second]; Knight hit a sacrifice
    fly to right [Hernandez scored, Carter to third, Strawberry to
    second]; BACKMAN BATTED FOR TEUFEL; Backman was walked
    intentionally; HEEP BATTED FOR SANTANA; Heep struck out; 3 R, 3
    H, 0 E, 3 LOB. Mets 3, Astros 3.

    I am biased toward Andy, because he grew up on the street behind me. At this point I would have to choose Clemens.

    Roy is a great pitcher, but it seems as his attitude can change at any second. This is not a good trait for a pitcher. He helps lead the team, and a bad attitude will spread faster than herpes at a bordello.
