The Astros: Good News/Bad News

Good News: We won 1 of 2 games @ Turner Field.
Bad News: Roger Clemens looked every bit of his 42 years in losing Game 2.

Good News: The next 2 games are at Minute Maid Park and 20-game winner Roy Oswalt will pitch on Saturday.
Bad News: Oswalt has never beaten the Braves and has a 0-2 record in 5 career starts against Atlanta. (CORRECTION: OSWALT BEAT THE BRAVES LAST YEAR IN GAME 5, advises an alert reader. Guess the Yahoo! stats I consulted didn't include postseason play. Here's the box from that 12-3 win.)

Good News: Brian Jordan has a .143 career batting average against Oswalt.
Bad News: Andruw Jones has a career batting average of .538 against Oswalt.

Good News: Chipper Jones has a career batting average of .231 against Oswalt.
Bad News: Marcus Giles has a career batting average of .455 against Oswalt.

Good News: Houston pitching has a better earned run average in 2005 than Atlanta -- 3.52 compared with 3.98.
Bad News: Atlanta scored 769 runs compared with Houston's 693 runs, hit 184 home runs compared with Houston's 161 and hit for a .265 average compared with Houston's .256.
