We have a team that features:

1) Berkman
2) Lee
3) Tejada
4) Pudge Rodriguez
5) Pence


So, what the heck? Why can't this team do more damage? Even last year, we could have wreaked more havoc than we did!

My NUMBER ONE QUESTION is this....where is Miguel Tejada's power stroke?
(Please, no cheapy steroid answers, I'm truly wondering, ok?)

Man, this team makes you scratch your butt and wonder WHY you'd like to even be on the pitching staff. This dates back to............oh, you name the year. I'll bet the hottest video game at the time was Asteroids.

They have been picking up a bit recently and Oswalt finally got his first win. If they can keep up what they have done, they should begin to pick up some major slack. The most important thing that many people don't get though is that a team can't win without some sort of chemistry. You can take all of the best players in the league and put them on a team and you can put together a team with the best chemistry possible and in the end you will find that the team with chemistry is MUCH better than the team with the best players. The Yankees for example are a team with many high payed, top notch players that will never be a great team because the Yankees don't give care about chemistry and only look towards the players that will put up the best numbers. The Red Sox on the other hand are a mix of both and are definitely one of the top teams in baseball if not the best. The team has some great players that have had fun together the past few years and that brings a team to its best potential. Without chemistry the Astros will continue to lose and we will soon be below the Pirates in the NL Central for a long time. The recent Astros have thrown their money towards the better players like, Miggy Tejada, Lee and others and i am not saying that they haven't helped at all but what I am saying is that they need to look for players who can help their team in the clubhouse and reach their full potential. Every team starts in the clubhouse and brings it to the field.
