damn, beat me by seconds.. I'm not even mad. This is the greatest thing to happen to Houston sports since the Back to back Championships.. Barely edging the Astros going to the world series.
I suppose I am happy. Gonna miss posting my "wheels" images as often though I am not sure his leaving makes us better, but it may help in avoiding getting worse.
Yall do realize he was taken off the 40 man roster a week ago, right? Not sure why this news today requires a whole ****ton of celebration
I think it's great they got a little cash (or a PTBNL) for him; it's more than the nothing I was expecting.
They could have had him for free when we dropped him dunno why they wanted him now,whatever, just glad to have him out of our hair.
It doesn't. Harrell was never a part of the long term plan unless he kept doing what he did in 2012...which he clearly couldn't...and even that was nothing more than a 4th or 5th starter on a good team.
WHAT?? NOOOOO!!! I LOVED THAT GUY!!!!!! said no one ever. the only thing I'll miss is that he always took the field to "When the Man Comes Around" by Johnny Cash, which was just super badass.
Dont follow baseball but ran into him at kung fu and had no idea who he was we were just having a good time, and I'll just say he could care less about baseball LOL
If the D-Backs had chosen to pick Harrell up after being waived by the Astros, he would've had to be put on the team's 25-man roster. The D-backs just wanted him in AAA as pitching insurance for the big club, so that'd explain the course they took.
