That said, I hope everyone else sees that the problem isn't Bourne, Pence, Matsui, Tejada, Oswalt, Backe, or anyone else on the 25-man roster.

I don't know....Tejada is hitting .185 for the month, Pence .190 and even Berkman is ice cold by Berkman standards, .269 in June, dropping his average from .385 to .362 (he hit .471 in May, BTW). Then add Chacon's ERA going from 3.95 to 4.69, Backe having zero quality starts for the month and a couple of bad outings from Valverde, and there's plenty of blame to go around. Almost a total opposite of what was going on in May.

Not defending Coop 'cause he's certainly had me scratching my head, but it ain't just him.

As hot as the Astros were in May, they're that cold in June.

The Real HR Leaders
Aaron 755, Ruth 714, Mays 660, Griffey, Jr. 630, F. Robinson 586

I started out with nothing...and I still have most of it.
