    not Astros-related, but Ian Kennedy traded to Padres. Does this increase Arizona's interest in Bud?

    I would think so, everything on the Peavy rumors when they were in them was Kennedy would need to be a part of it. Of course with Peavy they would have been taking on salary, but still think this increases their need to make a deal for an arm

    Twitter has been good for many things... but it has not been good for sports journalists reporting "speculation". Its awful.

    Couldn't agree more, "sources" really is a skinny pale kid behind an oz machine spitting out random speculation.

    Work seems pretty non productive right about now lol.

    Haha, this guy again. You sure you're not a cubs fan? The self-pity and negativity, I mean geez, it's just so depressing. The funny thing is that even after just about every single poster has pointed it out, you still are completely useless. It's humorous and infuriating at the same time, haha.

    I agree that it for too many. I run a narrow list of people who I follow for sports information. I only follow the Astros and Brian T. Smith for baseball news.

    Sadly, I can't help but read tweets from whoever in this thread.

    Twitter has put unfair pressure on journalists to report breaking news. As a result you have even reputable journalists "guessing" and passing a long faulty information. Look no further than the recent Dwight Howard fiasco.

    not the real account. I don't understand the interest in these guys making fake accounts for reporters just to troll.
