    I don't understand that comment, as from my experience, Cleveland fans, in all sports, are pretty passionate.

    Not their fault they've had bad luck in football. They're baseball team was great in the later 90's, and the Lebron yes have been good.

    They are cursed LOL. Not talking about the passionate fan base which need a ring. Great fans out there.

    AKA Lebron take them home.

    Eh, every fan base believes in curses... till they win, and then their teams/cities just aren't that interesting anymore.

    Boston was far more interesting with the curse of the Bambino... now they're just another team/city.

    The Phillies were "cursed" till they won in 1980... they've been just another team since.

    The city of Houston was "cursed"... till the Rockets won back-to-back, and everybody went back to ignoring/not caring about their teams.

    Bregman, Tucker, Daz would be one for the ages.

    Cameron would be the perfect pick at 37 given how underwhelming this class is suppose to be. I was afraid coming in that the Astros may have trouble properly spending their entire pool. But Cameron will change that dynamic quite a bit.

    Kiley McDaniel supposedly said Cameron pulled himself out of talks and likely had a deal at 5, 7, 9, or 37. At this point, the odds look pretty good.

    [rQUOTEr]Bregman on signing: I’m ready to get to work. I’m ready to go put in the time and the hours..."

    Bregman said he loved playing at Minute Maid in College Classic and says he hopes soon to play on it again.

    Alex Bregman said he grew up a huge Derek Jeter fan. Said he wants to get his pro career started once CWS ends[/rQUOTEr]

    Even if Daz somehow goes before 37 we should have a shot at Matuella. Gonna end up with a good one either way.

    Pedroia hit close to .400 his sophomore and junior seasons at Az State

    Bregman wasn't close to that

    Bregman is more like Ian Desmond with less power.

    Sign Preston to extension, have him give money to his brother. Sign Kyle for like $1 million, boom, money for everyone.

    Random Question: Why didn't the Stros have a first round pick in 2004?
