Well, looks like barring a total meltdown from the Pirates, we will be moving into a tie for 3rd with the Brewers.
Not good news about the Puma...INJURIES SUCK! JeromeSolomon Zachary Levine: Lance Berkman is out 2-3 days. (Available to pinch-hit though.) MRI reveal a Grade 2 strain of left calf I think with our top 2 going in the next two games we can more then survive but I dont want to go without him for much more of the homestand.
It's unfortunate that Berkman won't be able to do anything but pinch-hit for the rest of this important series but the greater concern would be if he somehow made the strain worse and missed a lot of time. I hope they don't rush him back or he doesn't rush himself back.
Agree, I think we will be fine without him for the rest of this series and if it only last 2 to 3 days we should have him back for the Mets series...
Puma was knocking the crap out of the ball yesterday despite the calf. Maybe he'll come up with a big pinch hit or two while he is recovering.
JD made a great point...Wandy has had a great pace all year long it keeps him going and the fielders on there toes!
