Lance Berkman is on the 15-day DL with a strained left calf.  According to Ed Wade, the Astros GM, “We are in agreement that keeping Lance active will only put him in a position of wanting to help the club and re-aggravating the injury.  I also spoke to Lance, and he understands. It’s not easy to disable one of your key guys, but we want him strong for the stretch drive, so it’s the right move.”

It was clear something was wrong on Tuesday night when he stretched a hit of his into a double, grimaced half way between first and second, and then sort of limped into second.  But that’s good, because apparently someone forgot to tell the Houston Assholes they were supposed to stink this year.  Maybe now they will play to everyone’s lower than low expectations. 

Hey Astros, that’s enough already!
