Astros win series finale
Houston still six games back of St. Louis for first place in NL Central, four games back in wildcard standings
ST.LOUIS — The Houston Astros know they are a long shot to make the playoffs. At least the defending NL champions enjoyed the end of their road trip.
BY R.B. FALLSTROM ASSOCIATED PRESS
Roy Oswalt pitched shutout ball into the ninth inning and Lance Berkman hit his 40th home run, helping the Astros bounce back from a dispiriting loss to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 5-1 Wednesday in the finale of a nine-game swing.
"I hope it carries over and gives us a little momentum going back home," manager Phil Garner said
The Astros ended a three-game losing streak and averted a three-game sweep against a team they're chasing in the NL Central.
after the Astros concluded the trip 4-5. "We need to re-establish ourselves."
Chris Burke, starting at second base for the second straight game in place of slumping Craig Biggio, had two hits and two RBIs. Still, Houston was six games behind the Cardinals in the Central and four games back in the wild card standings with only 17 games left.
"We're so far behind that we have to win every series for sure." Oswalt said. "Then we'll just see what it

ends up."
Garner said he hasn't attempted to calculate what it would take to extend what has been a frustrating season for the Astros (71-74).
"We're not even at .500" he said.
"We can't even start to play those kind of games yet."
The Cardinals got only two runners into scoring position before the ninth against Oswalt (13-8), who gave up one run and seven hits in 8 1-3 innings. He struck out three and walked two.
Jason Marquis (14-15) pitched on three days' rest for the eighth time in his career and lasted only 10 batters. The Astros batted around in a four-run first, including a bases-loaded walk to Luke Scott, a two-run single by Burke and an RBI single by Eric Bruntlett.
"I felt fine, I warmed up fine," Marquis said. "It just didn't translate and carry over to the game"
Berkman was 0-for-8 in the first two games of the series with five strikeouts before going 3-for-4 with a walk in the finale. He was a triple shy of the cycle, and his homer off Josh Hancock in the sixth gave the Astros a 5-1 lead.
"I did not have my best fastball, but I was able to spot it," Oswalt said. "You get to go after guys. They were swinging at some early pitches, so I was able to get deep into the ballgame."
With one out in the ninth, the Cardinals hit three consecutive singles off Oswalt for their lone run. Trever Miller relieved and got one out. Dan Wheeler earned his fifth save in seven chances by striking out pinch-hitter Preston Wilson.
Oswalt is 4-0 in his last five starts, matching his season-best, four-game winning streak, and has won five straight September decisions dating to last season. Working with a big lead, he was able to challenge the hitters.
Marquis was pulled after yielding a leafoot hit to Willy Taveras in the second after laboring for 52 pitches.

BY PAT GRAHAM ASSOCIATED PRESS
GREELEY, Colo. — The backup punter at Northern Colorado has been arrested on suspicion of stabbing his teammate — the starting punter — in the kicking leg.
Mitch Cozad was accused of attacking punter Rafael Mendoza in a parking lot Monday night, Evans police Lt. Gary Kessler said.

The motive may have been competition for the first-string job, police said Wednesday.
Mendoza was treated and released from the North Colorado Medical Center Monday night. Coach Scott Downing said Mendoza will not punt in Saturday's game at Texas State University.
"I guess the only identified motive
The stabbing took place in Evans, a small town adjacent to Greeley and about 50 miles north of Denver.
The Greeley Tribune first reported the story in Wednesday's editions.
Kessler said Cozad, a sophomore, was arrested Tuesday on a charge of second-degree assault. He remained in jail as of Wednesday morning, and it was not immediately known whether he had an attorney.
Cozad was suspended from school and from the team, university officials said in a news release. They did not immediately return calls from The Associated Press but scheduled a news conference later Wednesday.
Kessler said Mendoza was
The assailant fled in a black Dodge Charger, Kessler said. About 10 minutes after the attack, a liquor store clerk told police that two men in a car matching that description stopped outside the store, stripped tape off the license plate and drove away.
attacked from behind and stabbed in his right thigh after parking his car outside his Evans apartment Monday night.
Downing told the Greeley Tribune he had not spoken to Rafael's doctor and did not know how long he would be out.
The clerk gave police the license number and the car was traced to Cozad, Kessler said.
Mendoza, a junior, has averaged 37.6 yards per punt on nine punts in the two games this season.

The next day he awoke, his non-functioning heart, kidneys and liver started working just fine. He was breathing normally as well. He was released from the hospital shortly after--perfectly healed.

Do they exist? One of my wife's coworkers asked for us to join her and her family at the local hospital where her father was in a coma and about to die. He had a massive heart attack, his kidneys were not working and the doctors said that if he did not die, he would be on dialysis for the rest of his life and would likely be a vegetable. We were all invited to see him in his ICU room. My wife & I went in. When we got in, I told the spirit of death to leave and told his
