After a 6 game winning streak, the Astros have dropped their last two (fuck the Jakes), so a change of scenery could do them some good. So its off to Arizona, the home of the Diamondbacks, the leaders in the NL West. This series will be the first time that Berkman is reunited with his long-time man love, Chris Burke, who was traded with Quall’s Balls and Gutierrez to Arizona for Ponche. Expect an extended makeout session at 1B if Burke gets on base, in fact he may pull up at first on what should be a double, just to have some much needed alone time with Lance. Of course, since Burke is batting .143 for the season, and only .059 against the Astros pitchers he has faced, the chance for liplock may never materialize.Read More

You knew the general jackassery would break out sometime today. It was the 5th, as Backe was getting tired, his control was off all day, not only walks but wild in the zone, and the offense (but not the defense) was giving him no support.

I hope this is the end of it.

In the past the Astros and Cardinals spoke about a respectful rivalry. Maybe now that Bagwell and Biggio are no longer on the team, the respect is gone; because the Cardinals are certainly acting like it. Lets hear no more about the “friendly” rivalry against the Cardinals.
