Norris, Tejada help Astros stop slide

The scene inside the Astros’ clubhouse was understandably one of joy and relief.

Not only had the Astros just snapped a season-long nine-game losing streak that gave interim manager Dave Clark his first win, they made sure the St. Louis Cardinals postponed their National League Central-clinching celebration for at least one more day and for a different city.

As a remote-controlled car buzzed around the clubhouse floor and rookie pitcher Bud Norris searched frantically for the street clothes the veterans stashed away in a prank, the Astros soaked up a 3-0 win Wednesday night at Minute Maid Park.

Oswalt carries values of youth to field

Whether harvesting watermelons as a kid on his grandfather’s farm in rural Mississippi or trying to pitch his way out of a bases-loaded jam in Los Angeles, Roy Oswalt knows of only one way to do things — keep your head down, stay quiet and make sure you’re working harder than the next guy.

Along the way, there was fame and fortune and an Olympic gold medal, but soft-spoken Oswalt’s hard-working ways never changed. He always led by example, which is why comments he made recently after a difficult loss were so surprising.

Berkman calls players-only meeting

Lance Berkman, the longest-tenured member of the Astros, called a players-only meeting prior to Thursday’s game against the Cardinals to remind his teammates to keep playing hard over the final 36 games of the season.

Berkman and Roy Oswalt were among several players who addressed the team during the meeting, which came about 12 hours after Oswalt told reporters following Wednesday’s loss to the Cardinals — Houston’s third in a row — the Astros were playing with “no fire” and there was a “dead atmosphere.”
