    I didn't say they were in last place. I said Straw doesn't belong on a major league roster.

    Astros are going with Straw so they can fit Brantley under the luxury tax. If you don't want Straw major league roster for the Astros, to me that is for all intents and purposes the same as not wanting Brantley as an Astro. I see Brantley as a major reason that Astros are in first, and as such respond with sarcasm to not wanting Straw on the MLB roster, and by extension not wanting Brantley on Astros' major league roster.

    Yes, I know why they did it with the luxury tax. Just don't twist my words around because that's not what I said at all. Straw sucks, that's my opinion. Not Brantley shouldn't be on the roster. Period.
