    Trying to look at the bright side of things ...

    How about some love for the guy who's becoming the Stros' very own Mr. October?

    Dude hit .349 with 4 HRs and 12 RBIs in last year's playoffs.

    And this year, he's at .355 with two of the most CLUTCH homers in Astro history the past couple weeks. And he's doing it with absolutely no protection (due to Ensberg's slump).

    Not to mention his great stretch on the game ending DP in Game 4.

    After all the years of seeing our hitters be overmatched in the playoffs, it's great to see that Berkman is money in the postseason.

    Just in case you didn't know, Lance Berkman is a Rice alum.

    Which explains why he runs like a girl. :D

    Loved the "We love Fat Elvis" sign in the MMP stands Monday night.

    BTW, Fox did an outstanding job with that game--H-town and H-town history got lots of love and graphics. Also, the close-up shots of Biggio and Bagwell at different key moments in the game--Fox knew what long-time Astro fans would be thinking about. Major kudos; great work. Too bad the drama didn't fully consummate. :(
