Didn't that headline sound like it came from a newspaper or something?
Anyways, I have no intention of turning this into an Astros-only update blog, but I did watch the game last night, after creating my tribute post to Lance Berkman only a few hours before, and what does Lance do in the 1st inning? POW!!! 2-run homer batting right handed (his supposedly "weaker" side). Just tattooed it. Why are people still pitching to him?
Pitchers gotta start giving him the Barry treatment until he cools down, or else the Big Puma will make them pay. He's on a historic run the past 10 days - 2 weeks. I keep hearing comments during the TV broadcasts about him doing stuff that hasn't been done in the expansion era (since 1962), and how he's only the 2nd or 3rd guy in the last 50 years to do this or that. He's batting .587 over the past 2 weeks. At one point he had something like 16 hits in his past 20 at bats, and went 18 for 24 at one point (that's a .750 average, math majors). Stuff like that is tough to do in a video game w/ the settings on "rookie". Dude is just rolling.
So, Berkman's mammoth shot, his 14thHR and 40th RBI so far this season (he's only played 40 games) - Puts us up 3-0 right off the bat...Giants came back to tie it, but we ended up taking the lead late (again...this has been a habit of the Astros this year, taking the lead late, coming back in the late innings.....I like it) on a Tejada single, and, of all things, a Brad Ausmus 2-run job in the 7th. And he crushed it. No doubter. He can do that when he gets ahold of one ( about every 2 years or so).
And for those who thought that maybe my last post was a little too scary/obsessive about the Puma, at least I haven't taken it this far. Of course, I would have, but I don't have much video/photoshop experience...
