According to the Associated Press, "Houston slugger Carlos Lee was placed on the 15-day disabled list Saturday night because of a broken left pinkie and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks... The left fielder, who reached the 100-RBI level for the fourth consecutive season on Friday night and leads the NL in that category, was hit by a pitch from Bronson Arroyo with Lance Berkman on first base, two outs and Houston leading 1-0. What looked like blood was seen on Lee’s left pinkie finger when his batting glove was pulled off." Huge loss for the Astros. How much will this hurt them going forward?

He has been one of the hottest hitters in the league the past 2months huge loss. The Stros aren't going to make the playoffs this year, but lately they have been playing very well and it looked like they wanted to make a run for the WC, but with Lee out it probably won't be done.

For a lot of other teams a similar problem would cause me to say they are in trouble. However the Astros have been able to surprise me once in a while and I kind of have a gut feeling they will do okay.
