My take on the Astros

ok so...

I been playing MLB the Show 08 and if this game means anything here is what I see happening this year.

Berkman and Wigginton are awesome!!! Oswalt and Wandy are definately our best pitchers but Backe is pretty damn good as well. Woody is just so so. (I pitch better than I bat though so..) Paronto blows goats though, his ERA is rediculous. Bourne plays a mean outfield and is sufficient in the leadoff position. Pence, Tejada and Matsui all do what is expected of them but the big suprise is that Carlos Lee is horrible. Thats my feeling on the Astros squad so far. I'll update again in the near future :)

Oswalt's pitching wind-up in this game (PS3 version) is ridiculously accurate, down to the way he brings his hands together and the quick rhythm.

They can't quite figure out Berkman's stance, though. Something about the half-crouch and loose hands always looks too stiff in the game, ever since 06.

In simulating a season, I think Bourn stole like 85 bases and hit over .300, and Berkman put up MVP numbers, while Oswalt went 17-3. That would be nice.

If bourn

Has those numbers, the trade was definitely worth it ;)

Go 'Stros!
