Clemens being at top form now is part of the reason the Astros even have a chance to pull this out.
I thought of this myself, but I don't buy it. The man is still dominant. There has been no evidence to suggest his body can't sustain 200 IP a year. I firmly believe that if Clemens was around since April, and the Cards had the same record as they do now, the Stros would be the kings of the NL Central.

I know I didn't. He was in shape enough to pitch in the WBC, so I have a feeling he could have pitched the first half of the season.
