As Berkman Goes
It seems over the last two season, you can gauge the performance of the Astros by the performance of Lance Berkman. If he's hurt the team does poorly. If he's not hitting, the team does poorly. The Astros ten game losing streak is another example. With an 0 for 4 last night, Lance's batting average dropped to .094 during the streak. He's not the only one hitting poorly, but right now he's a black hole in the middle of their three best hitters, Ensberg, Lee and Pence.
