I am never one to dog my favorite team, but what is going on with the Astros?  Can they turn their season around?

A read where Tim Purpura is going to make some changes in the line up once Bigio gets his 3000th hit.  Burke will see more playing time and I agree, that is a good move. Give Burke a chance to play and hit.  He’s a hustler, he will add some spark to the line up.  Many say, “well he is not a power hitter.”  You cannot have everyone in the line up be a power hitter.  We have Carlos Lee, Lance Berkman, Hunter Pence, even Luke Scott has power… Morgan Ensberg used to but now it is time to give his spot to Lamb. 

I am not an expert on running a baseball team but there is a consistent trend here…starting pitchers are keeping us in the game but the bullpen has blown it.  They have allowed 32 runs in the last 21 innings.  We need a different strategy.

Good luck Astros, even if you are in last place you will still be my team!
