Ensberg, Lane, Moehler, Palmeiro, and Woody Williams are dead weight and need to go. Right here shows us why this team sucks.

Vega, I think you will get your wish on one of those guys by the end of June if this continues.

This is the most pathetic Astros team we've had in awhile and a lot of it can be placed on Lance Berkman. Lee was supposed to protect him in the order. May is nearly over and Berkman has SIX extra-base hits. He looks lazy and plays like he's a head case.

i agree with baron 110%..we know these other guys are suspect at best..berkman is, i admit, better than this.... his half assed excuse in the chronicle was nothing but spin for his bs playing..... this guy is killing the team.....
everybody knows where woody, wandy, lane and ensberg are coming from..Now i guess my thing about him not being special holds true..... No amount of spin can be done at this time for berkman.....i say start lamb at 1st for a while

I dont see Berkman as being lazy at all. I have no idea what is wrong, but something is.
The protection thing is WAAAY overated.
Hembo.. where on earth did you hear Albers was a "cant miss" guy?

he was supposedly the heir apparent to lidge the beginning of last year anyways.....
berkman is lazy..pure and simple..he doesnt run out fly balls, half asses it to pop flys, is confused on the base path...this guy isnt what you make him out to be..as you said, and i agreed, he probably is a top 10 in the NL offensively, but overall he isnt top 20...he is horrible everywhere but the plate usually, and now he sucks at that......Theres no amount of spin you can do at this point ab...he is flat out killing the astros right now

He is hurting the team. I dont dispute that. But he isnt horrible in the field. He isnt great, but he is an average fielder at worst.
I never said he was a GG caliber defender. Hitting and defense are 2 different arguments.

This team has NO LEADERSHIP on the field............period. Maybe Lee can turn into a leader. Lance is too much of a passive wimp to lead. He took his lessons from Biggio.
