Lance Berkman enjoyed hitting at Chase Field the last three nights. Made me wonder, as Puma appeared to enjoy a throwback series to times of great power and terrorizing opposing pitchers… how often has Berkman had a home run streak like the current one?

Yet another piece of evidence reinforcing that hitting big league pitching is hard.
Berkman’s current barrage can rank amongst his best home run streaks ever with another tater tonight at Chavez Ravine, not only in consecutive games, but also in total home runs and runs batted in (obviously aided by the grand slam).
While this makes for great theater and “told you so’s” for many, the question remains – can he sustain this for another 110-120 games?

That is my exact question for you! Can Berkman be productive for the rest of the season? Can you answer that and email me or just respond here? I will post it on Fantasy Baseball Hot Stove today and show you the link when it’s done.
