Hopefully it's not Bagwell retiring. Are they speculating at all on 610?

Oh, and to be the first...

It could be Timmy P. getting his stomach stapled. Ba-zing.

One of the pics up on Astros.com is of Berkman and Andruw Jones laughing. Maybe they know they're about to be teammates?

i thought i heard the guys on the radio say it can't be that....that there's some sort of moratorium during the days immediately before and after the all-star game.

Unfortunately I cant see it being a blockbuster trade and no one except the Astros front office has knowledge of it 1/2 hour before announcing it

Well....if it was a big trade, there would certainly be more buzz on 610...they seem to know it's not involving any incoming players.

They can make a deal now. During the days leading up to the all star game you can not.

But this is the astros a major announcement to drayton is up lowering ticket prices. I do not expect anything big at all that will make a difference to this team.

unless it just came about last night or something...at the game. i'm thinking the same thing about a bagwell announcement...i'm thinking if that were coming, ESPN would already be reporting it.
