Thank God for the Reds. Lance improved upon his .327 career average against Cincy with a solo homerun to start off the Astros scoring. With the score tied at 2 in the eighth, Luke Scott smacked his third game winning hit against the Reds this season. He’s hitting .348 career for his career and .429 this season against Cincinnati, for the record.
Roy collected his fifth victory of the season, also continuing his career dominance of the Reds. He is now 19-1 against this team with an ERA of 2.49.
Flip side, the Reds bullpen has blown three saves against the ‘Stros, and has a tidy 10.84 ERA in six games.
Pound for Pound
With the seemingly constant struggles of our offense, and the relatively low slugging percentage of Lance, the Dome Dog brain-trust decided to create a special Astros stat, slugging percentage per pound. We applied it to those with over 70 AB’s going into today’s game:
Brad Ausmus(.392/190lbs)-.0021 (%/lb)
Carlos Lee(.479/240)-.0020
Lance Berkman(.347/220)-.0016
Craig Biggio(.465/185)-.0025
Morgan Ensberg(.375/220)-.0017
Adam Everett(.271/170)-.0016
Luke Scott(.432/210)-.0021
Chris Burke(.351/180)-.00195
This may be of no real value, but it is interesting. The winner by far is the Hall of Famer, Mr. 39 hits short of 3000 himself. What is surprising is that it’s not even close. I guess all those off-season bleacher runs at the Rice football stadium have paid off. If nothing else this stat should make Adam Everett feel better about his recent 2/23 slump.

Lance has 220 lbs in his left bra cup. For the record.
he and pam anderson saw the same breast reduction doc. that's how he got down to 220
It's a well known fact that despite what you hear, Lance Berkman works for Nachos. That's right, not US Dollars, but Nachos. Look at his face while he stands at first base. He's thinking about nachos. When he gets a hit or even a HR, that smile? SEVEN LAYER NACHO TOWN! The next time Big Puma does his thing, scream "NACHOS!" and watch him light up. That man loves him some nachos.
