The problem with the Astros, in my opinion, is that they dont have enough pure hitters on their team. You can say all that you want that players like Bagwell, Biggio, and Alou are pure hitters. And 5 years ago, Alou might have actually been one. But today, all their hitters, with the lone exception of Berkman, think too much and don't just hit. It works most of the time, but in clutch situations, you end up just outsmarting yourself.
Berkman doubles, Astros up 2-1. All we have to do is save it in the ninth. Come on wagner. Or dotel. Or whoever.
woo hoo! But after that dribble down the third base line I was getting nervous. Thank God Lugo didn't throw it into the first row again on the double play. Perhaps that early error was a blessing . he concentrated.
