Lance Berkman: Switching It Up

I love it when you hit those switches.  A curve ball’s what my pitch is.  So here we here we come like dum ditty dum.  I keep all five boroughs in stitches.  -Beastie Boys

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  What a season this Lance Berkman character is having.  We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.  But the wine and the song, like the seasons, all have gone. 

The wine and the song are not out of Lance’s season.  Not yet they ain’t.  Big season.  Tremendous season.  Mesmerizing, tantalizing captivating, he’s devastating.   Devastating last night.  Last night, Lance smashed a two-run bomb deep into the Crawford Boxes.   Smashed a two-run bomb deep into the Crawford Boxes last night in the eighth inning to break a 4-4 tie and gave the Astros to their first four-game sweep over the Giants since 1970.  Yowza! 

His three RBIs, tied him with Jose Cruz for third place on the Astros all-time RBI list.  That’s not the only history this cat has been making.  Not the only history this cat has been taking.  Not the only history this cat has been shaking and baking.  Yes he’s a chief, he’s a king, but above everything, he’s the most tip top, Top Cat.

Last night, when Berkman smashed his two-run bomb deep into the Crawford Boxes, it marked his 25th home run of the season.  Big deal, you say?  Who cares, you say?  I say, it was the seventh time Berkman has had twenty-five or more home runs in a season. 

Big deal, you say?  Who cares, you say?  I say, the only switch hitters with as many 25-homer seasons as Berkman are Eddie Murray (12), the Mick(10) and Chipper Jones with 10.  I say that’s pretty damn good company if I do damn so my own damn self.  Big bat company.  Hall of Fame company.  Come and dance on our floor.  Take a step that is new.  We’ve a loveable space that needs your face, three’s company too.
