He hit .208 with 6 Hr and 33 rbi against lefthanders this year with 83 k's in 252 plate appearances, so he was striking out 33% of the time against them. The fact that he got Wolf for a HR is proof that he is really locked in right now not that he can hit lefties on a regular basis. Howard is a very tough out right now. When Padilla hangs one tomorrow, he'll probably hit another HR.

pretty much all lefties struggle with lefty pitching. I dont think there is one guy I'd rather have on my team than Howard. And that includes Pujols. I'm not saying Howard is a better hitter than Pujols, but Howard is as clutch as it gets and he just comes through when you need it.

"Just get me to the plate, boys" Thats the stuff legends are made from!!
