    Billy Wagner threw 159 (not a typo) pitches last year that were clocked at 100 MPH or higher.

    The rest of the major leagues threw 40 (not a typo).

    lol!!

    We apparently have an A-baller from the Venezuelan Academy who hits 3 digits. And MMP is definitely a fast gun.

    I must be missing something, since RM95 correctly spelled McLane's name.

    He wrote "Lousy McLane" instead of "Drayton McLane". I was pretending he misspelled "Drayton" when he wrote "Lousy"

    It was a little joke.

    EDIT: I also thing Hunsinger will make a move or two we're not expecting.

    Hopefully, one of Hunsinger's moves will be to get rid of Badgewell.

    Gee, I wonder why they raised the price of the "Dugout" seats from $36 to $40 for next season. Maybe to pay for that expensive Free Agent that we will sign?

    What I don't get is when people post a quote but type nothing.

    As pariah did. He quoted RM95 and then wrote nothing. What is up with that?

    I have seen a number of posters do that.


    Oh and on Wagner, well he was a hell of a pitcher. I am sad to see him go. It's not going to be the same to see him in a jersey that doesn't say Astros on it.

    :(
