Not Gonna Mention It (Well, Maybe)

The Astros continue to prove my earlier dour assessment wrong, and are now within a game of first place. It is no coincidence that the turnaround comes as Bagwell and Biggio have started playing better.

But please, please -- could someone make this sort of writing stop:

Berkman has been a monster for the first 100 games, but no one has contributed to Houston's turnaround than the gritty first baseman -- and we won't even mention his tender shoulder.

Except you just DID mention it. Again.
