What in the world is happening. I just saw that the Stro's traded their most consistent hitter last year and biggest support behind Bagwell for two minor league players from Boston. Jeez, whats the world coming too.
I was just going to post this. I know man this is hard, everett was a great player. I think Dierker wants space out there in the outfield so he can play Ward. And he did it so he can clear out the payroll a little and sign Mike Hampton to a big deal. I WANT KEN GRIFFEY!!!!! I know Moises Alou wont be here long.
I heard adam everett is a great prospect. I hope he can beat out tim bogar. I wonder what we can get for alou ? he seems like damaged goods, i think he has a better chance of staying. Id rather sign griffey as a free agent, but he says he only wants to go to Cincy. I still think we are the favorites to win the central. Is there an Astros site ?
The Astros version of clutchcity.net (although very inferior), is www.astrosconnection.com It's really more of a Jim Rome wannabe site, but great info nonetheless.
And to top off the day, Mike Hamton told the Astros he's not looking past 2000 right now [in other words, he will not resign with Houston]. What a day...
Yeah I heard about that. Man.. He is going to wait so teams can load up money to him and hampy will take the team that offers the most money.
Imagine if we known in 1999 that 21 years in the future the entire world would be shut down due to a virus.
First though would have been some Johnny Mnemonic computer virus. Second thought would have been a Soviet bioweapon released by Chechen separatists.

VH-1 did a Behind the scenes episode on this, called the one hit wonder, and it turns out Adam lied when he said he could hit. That mother f'er lied to us.
