Missed Opportunity

The Astros fell to the Cardinals tonight 3-2. The offense carried Houston to the best record in the National League in May, but they could not come up with enough runs to support Oswalt in a well pitched game. The eventual winning run came on Roy's bugaboo all year, the home run. The shot by Albert Pujols was the 16th allowed by Roy this season, two more than in 2007 and two shy of his career high.

The Hardball Times shows that no only is Oswalt is inducing fewer ground balls and more line drives, but fewer of the balls in the air are coming down over the the infield. He could easily double his career high this season. The Astros missed a golden opportunity to tie the Cardinals for second place in the division and the lead for the Wild Card.

They may have had the best record in the NL in May, but the team they're chasing has the best record IN THE MAJORS!! Go Cubs.
