Lance hit RBI 1,000 & 1,001 on 6-25-9. This makes him the 3rd Astro to bat in over 1,000 runs. Jeff Bagwell and Craig Biggio are the other two "Killer B's" with over 1,000 RBIs.

The Astros won 4 in a row but lost to the Rockies on 6-4-9.

The win loss record is not at all impressive for the Grapefruit League season bit the performances of the pitchers are encouraging. Robinson likes the quality of the pitchers more this Spring Training than last year.

Chris Sampson is back on the mound for the 1st time in Spring training on 2-23-9. He's not feeling any pain but his pitches need a little refining. That's encouraging after his elbow surgery in October.

The Astros are opening a Youth Academy. The Astros, MLB and the City of Houston will work together to create the Houston Astros MLB Urban Youth Baseball Academy at Sylvester Turner Park.

Brandon Backe is still in the rotation despite a less than stellar 2008 season

The Wolf managed to complete the sweep of the Chicago Cubs on September 4. They are 6.5 games behind the Brewers and there's only 22 games to go.

The Astros swept the Mets 8-3-8 thanks to a strong 5 innings from Randy Wolf. He loaded the bases in the 4th & 5th innings but hung tough striking out Evans & Cancel to close the 4th inning. Talis was shutdown with a fly out in the 5th inning.

On 7-9 the Astros brought home a convincing win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. Everything in the game was well played from pitchers to relievers to hitters. It's a good start for a turn around of the season.

The Astros managed to take the series from the Tampa Bay Rays winning the last game on 6-22-8. Carlos Lee brought in a runner with a homer in the 6th inning. This is the 1st series win in June and Brandon Backe's 1st win in a long while. He had lost 3 of 4 starts since May. The Rays have a strong record at home so this was definitely a reason to celebrate and hopefully is the start of the Astros come back in the standings.

The Astros road season was less than impressive dropping the finale to the Pirates on 6-5. The offense did come alive but it was too little, too late. The Astros are now in 4th place in their division. Before the road trip they were a mere game & a half out of 1st place. After dropping 5 games on the road they are at least 7 games out. The Astros have proven they can win with the offense "firing on all cylinders" they just need to get "tuned up".

The Astros are so healthy that the backups just don't get any play time. Veterans Brad Ausmus, Mark Loretta, Jose Cruz Jr., Geoff Blum and Darin Erstad are just biding their time.

You see Big Puma everywhere at the Astros games. It's certainly more flattering than Lance Berkman's previous nickname "Fat Elvis" and it was coined on a local radio talk show. Berkman's speed and hitting add to the Big Puma image. He's hitting almost .500 for May and hit an amazing .545 in a seventeen game hitting streak. His .385 for the season is 2nd only Chipper Jones.

Backe held the Texas Rangers scoreless for 6 innings before giving up a couple in the 7th. After the weekend losses it was great to see the Astros win on 5-18 with the bullpen coming through. The bats of Loretta, Towles and Tejada combined with the defense of Wigginton and Matsui clinched the 5-4 win over the Rangers.

You just can't count the Astros out until the fat lady sings. Just ask the Los Angeles Dodgers. On 5-11 the Astros seemed overmatched for much of the game but started their come back in the 7th inning by loading the bases and getting walked in. In the 8th they brought in 6 more runs in what was almost a no hitter throughout the rest of the game. It just shows that the Astros have some heavy hitters that you can't write off.

The Astros came back & won the 5-4 game against the Milwaukee Brewers. This completed a sweep for the weekend. They had to scare up a couple of runs in the 9th to push the game into extra innings. That makes 6 home games in a row for the Astros.

April 27 started off good for Brandon Backe with 4 good innings. He didn't fare as well in he 5th inning and that was the beginning of the end as the Astros offense was shutdown in a 5-1 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals.

With the 6 game winning streak over and a tough road series ahead the Astros have their work cut out for them.

On April 20 the Astros managed to pull out a win over the Colorado Rockies with only one out left in the eighth with a clutch single from Matsui. The Astros definitely have the firepower to make those big plays.

The Astros have their 25 man roster for opening day featuring 12 pitchers. Kazuo Matsui is on the 15 day disabled list and may not get any play in the 1st couple of weeks. Geoff Blum has a sore heal so is not 100%. Consequently the Astros scrapped the idea of carrying a 3rd catcher since the infield needs help. This was good news for Tomas Perez as he made the cut to cover the infield.

Michael Tejada is in camp and is ready to play baseball. Manager Cooper is thrilled to have him on board. The trade for Michael cost the Astros 5 players including top prospect Troy Patton. The lineup is looking formidable.

Here's some of Tejada's stats:

This will be the year that Craig Biggio's number gets retired. Roger Clemens' number won't be retired since he was only with the Astros 3 years.

Hunter Pence will miss a week of camp after an accident with a sliding glass door.

The reorganization of the team was made to avoid a repeat of the 2007 season. Almost a dozen faces from the 2007 year are no longer with the Astros. Even a player who was slated to join the Astros in camp didn't get by this sweep. The bullpen is renewed and the team has speed to burn. Closer Brad Lidge & infielder Eric Bruntlett were traded to Phillie for Michael Bourn. Josh Anderson was traded to the Atlanta Braves for relief pitcher Oscar Villarreal.

Kaz Matsui was lured to camp with a 16.5 million dollar contract. He's posted high numbers at home but not nearly as good when he's on the road. Hopefully Kaz will post big numbers for the Astros both on the road and at home.

GM Ed Wade has had a busy off-season but the Astros still need a starting pitcher to follow Roy Oswalt. Perhaps Brandon Backe, Wandy Rodriguez, or Woody Williams will step up for that position.

Spring training is filled with drama as the Astros pick & choose who will make this year's roster. Miguel Tejada is the big name player in camp and is expected to show up for the full squad workout February 19. There's a lot of work to be done before the 1st game on March 31. They are looking for a backup for Roy Oswalt. The Astros are hoping Wandy Rodriguez will mature this year and that Brandon Backe will be 100% after his surgery. They are hopeful that Woody Williams will pick up the pace this season.

Speedster Michael Bourn will be playing center field and Kaz Matsui will play 2nd base for Craig Biggio. Big hitters Tejada, Lance Berkman, Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence should be formidable this year. Offense was a bit lackluster last year so the Astros are hoping to turn it up a notch this season.

With the deal settled with Jose Valverde, the Astros can concentrate getting him settled in with the team. The Valverde trade cost the Astros 3 players. He should be a force to contend with in the center of the lineup. Valverde is expected to be the stable closer that Houston has lacked for some time.

The Astros are out to take another shot at the National League Central title. Some familiar faces are missing in the lineup including Craig Biggio, Roger Clemens, Jeff Bagwell, and Andy Pettitte. Last season the Astros bid farewell to Texas Baseball Hall of Famer Craig Biggio. He's the only player to achieve 600 doubles, 250 homers, 3,000 hits and 400 steals.
