    This one is hard to swallow. We bet the farm on Beltran and we lost out.

    I will say this though..I don't blame Drayton at all for this. McLane put a good offer out there (assuming it was $100 million plus). If Beltran wanted to play for a winner, he would have taken the deal. As much as it pains me to say it, Dick Justice was right. With Beltran, it was all about the money.

    I tip my hat to the Astros. They did what they needed to. This franchise has a history of lowballing people, but this was not one of those instances. Now let's spend some of that money towards filling some of our holes. And let's see if we can still get Clemens to play one more season :)

    I thought people had known that for quite a while now. The man is a blight on professional sports and should be banned from representing anyone EVER AGAIN.
