Colby Rasmus was not in the lineup to face Cliff Lee but it is his responsibility to get untracked and lead this team in the absence of Pujols. Some of those duties will fall to Lance Berkman but he went 0-3 last night. Rookie Andrew Brown got the start and struck out twice with no hits. The bullpen has been a bigger issue as they allowed nine runs in the 8th inning on Tuesday which caused concern for its abilities. Miguel Batista was released after the game as he allowed two bases loaded walks and had a horrible May and June.
