Wanda Rodriguez and the rest of the boys came back down to earth tonight in Milwaukee. After running off 5 wins in a row with impressive shows of offense and improbable comebacks, the Astros fell short 6-4. When I say they fell short, I mean it literally too as Berkman missed a grand slam that would have tied the game by a couple of feet thanks to the RF foul pole.
Wanda finally pitched like I knew he was capable of - six runs in six innings. Let the Nieve watch begin.
However, it's been nice to see the offense finally showing signs of life over the past week. Of course I have to throw in the proverbial, "wait until Berkman starts hitting above the Mendoza Line" quip to highlight how good the Astros will really be.
Berkman will ultimately hit I'm sure but I will continue to remain cautiously optimistic on this team's chances.
