Ground Balls-Fly Balls - Rigdon 2-13; Weathers 2-1; Leskanic 1-0; Lima 12-6; B Wagner 0-0 This is one game, but I would doubt Lima has few games with 12 ground ball outs. If he returns to form... ------------------
He has the longest active streak against one team (along with Hampton and Tapani) at 9-0 against the Brewers. I'm getting excited! ------------------ www.swirve.com I think my w**** is dead.
The Ausmus trade is the best thing Hunsicker has done in a while! ------------------ "Blues is a Healer" --John Lee Hooker
Bagwell talking to Ausmus about getting so much good press this year, "Dude, I don't get it, you're not that good." Too Funny. But seriously, everbody loved him. It goes to show you that sometimes the numbers don't tell the whole story. He's turning out to be a great player. ------------------ humble, but hungry.
I would rather support a poor hitting team of hard working players who do not punch veterans needlessly than a team of superstar jerks. Anyday of the week. ------------------ "Any event, once it has occurred, can be made to appear inevitable by a competent historian." Lee Simonson
Man, I have really had to eat crow on this one. And I'm ecstatic about it! Losing Ausmus was a really bad move, and bringing him back is awesome. What did we get for him the first time, BTW? ------------------ "Up and down, inside out, outside in, some you lose some you win" -- DMB -> "Sweet Up and Down"
Vengence The Astros gave up Ausmus and Nitkowski and received the following 5 players: Catcher Paul Bako (now with the Braves) Pitcher Dean Crow (don't knwo where he is) Pitcher Brian Powell (saw some action with Astros last year - with New Orleans) Minor League third baseman Carlos Villalobos (I think he may be out of baseball) Pitcher Mark Persails - with Round Rock The main focus of the trade was to allow Meluskey to become the starter and not have to pay Ausmus. ------------------
