    He said something is going down. So says the newsgirl on 93.7 who spoke to him last night. (93.7 and Clemens have a history with the Hummer etc.)

    He can swing a mean stick, but you see the obvious problem for him being an Astro. ;)

    I don't see why it is a surprise like Clemens makes the move out to be.

    i didn't hear what clemens said. but i know that the local media has been reporting, foolishly, that there's bad blood between oswalt and the club...that oswalt is pissed at the 'stros for having his name thrown out in trade talks. maybe clemens is meaning it might be a surprise from that perspective that roy signs a 5 year deal to stick around here.

    Today is Roy's b-day; I think they'll reach a deal today. If not, Friday makes sense since the two sides have agreed to table discussions until after the season if a deal is not reached by the end of August.

    Don't be surprised if Clemens gets put on waivers one way or another and ends up on a championship contender, yankees, red sox, etc. You heard it here first. Not going to mention my sources just yet.

    I'd personally sue MLB and all their sorry owners for collusion if somehow Clemens ended up on the Yankees or the Red Sox.

    You're telling me there's no way any of the teams either above or below us puts a claim in on Clemens if he is put through waivers?!? Not the Reds, not the Phillies, Blue Jays, Rangers, Angels, Cardinals?!?

    Drayton bought a Babe Ruth Jersey last week. A mosquito was found encapsulated in fossilized nacho cheese product residue. Through the miracles of modern science, DNA of Babe Ruth was extracted from the mosquito an adult version of the Sultan of Swat has been grown in an undisclosed lab in Houston. The Ruth clone is holding out for a $100,000/yr contract with a trade kicker. The Astros believe they can get him to drop the trade kicker and sign on Friday.

    In other news, Omar Minaya and the rest of the Mets Front Office will be arriving on Thursday to watch the Mets play the Astros over the weekend.
