I remember that old movie On the Town and how Frank Sinatra, Gene Kelly and Jules Munshin, playing sailors, go around New York City singing "New York, New York."
Perhaps Lance Berkman, Miguel Tejada and Carlos Lee will duplicate that song.
Berkman is headed to the 2008 MLB All-Star game (held at Yankee Stadium) as a starter while Tejada is going as a reserve. Lee can go if he wins the 2008 Monster All-Star Game Final Vote.
I suppose this is something designed to give Houston Astros fans something to cheer about approaching the All-Star break, since the team at 41-48 and 12 games behind the NL Central-leading Chicago Cubs is going nowhere fast. As of this blog posting, the 'Stros are trailing last-place Pittsburgh 6-2. If they lose tonight, Houston will occupy last place.
Houston's riding a one-game losing streak and is 4-6 in its last 10 games. At Minute Maid Park, the Astros are 22-21 and on the road they're 19-27. On the season, Houston's been outscored 426-387, meaning they're averaging 4.35 runs per game to their opponents' 4.79.
