The Houston Astros beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1.Matt Albers, the Astros pitcher, is showing them that he wants to stay in the majors.He threw for seven innings and only gave up three hits.It was one of his best starts this year.Lance Berkman, the Astros first baseman, hit a homer in his second consecutive game.He is hitting very well lately.This is not good for the Cardinals.They are now down a few games in the division.They are behind the Brewers and the Cubs.The Astros will not make the playoffs but the Cardinals have a shot.The next few games are very important for the Cardinals.It will be interesting to see how they perform.
Carlos Lee Gets 100 Million From The Astros
Posted on Dec 08, 2006 under Golf, Rugby Union, World Results | No CommentNow sometimes I wonder what these owners are thinking when they toss their money around. First it was Gary Matthews Jr and now Carlos Lee. Lee is a decent hitter but like most he goes into slumps and struggles against certain teams. Lee is not a very good outfielder. if the Astros play him out their they could be in some trouble.
Lee has alot of mistakes in the outfield but I commend Lee on getting someone to give him that kind of money. I think the Astros would have been better off to spend that kind of money on pitching, but we will see how it works out for them.
