Lance vs. Larry: Imitation is Flattery
Since crafting my previous graphic analyzing how Lance Berkman's performance at Minute Maid Park would translate to Busch Stadium, I've had a pesky thought stuck in my mind: is Lance Berkman the next Larry Walker? Check out the graphic below, and read the analysis after the jump. wWAR...
How Will Busch Affect Berkman?
When a player moves from team to team, and thus from one home stadium to another, some funky things can happen. Sometimes he performs better than he ever has, and other times his numbers tank. What will happen to Lance Berkman in 2011? </center>Click to embiggen, if you please When the St....

Houston Astros : 45 Games Complete
With 45 games in the past, I have to say that I'm pretty happy with the way the season is going... especially after seeing how badly the season started off. The Astros currently sit in 3rd place in the NL Central with a 25 and 20 record, just 2.5 games behind the 1st place Cubs. Guess who's...
Lance Berkman is a BEAST!
On April 30th, I made a statement that the Astros have no All Stars on their team... It looks like Lance Berkman may have taken that to heart. Now obviously Berkman more than likely doesn't read this blog, but work with me here... Since 4/30/08, Lance Berkman has been the best offensive player...

Houston Astros : Streaking
No, not that type of streaking. The Astros are actually starting to come around offensively and have scored no less than 5 runs in any of their last 5 games; ultimately winning all of them. The Astros now sit just 1 game behind .500 and in sole possession of 4th place in the NL Central. After...
Houston Astros : Offensive Juggernaut
Now this is what the 2008 Houston Astros offense should be doing. Every Astros starter except for catcher Brad Ausmus recorded at least one hit tonight, with shortstop Miguel Tejada doing the most damage with his 4-5, 3 RBI's and 3 runs scored including a double and a home run. Tejada raised his...
