The Houston Astros had an exception season in 2008. After having their first losing season in seven years in 2007, the Astros rebounded beautifully and finished with an overall mark of 86-75, good for third place in the NL Central. Mark Loretta, Geoff Blum, Brad Ausmus and Darin Erstad all came through in the stretch run of the season, and combined with premier home run hitter Lance Berkman, the Astros should be a formidable team for many more seasons to come.
