this has merit; plus, where's jimmy d been? i thought he was out for just a game prior to the 4th....? only question - does milo retiring merit extensive media coverage.....? i guess maybe it does, though i could really care less. btw, his daughter was 53 - seriously, how old is milo?
Word was instead of a trade kicker, James only asked for Tim Purpura to get an extension. I do think we'll see Purpura announce a big acquisition soon though.
Would Purpura be involved if it was something having to do with Milo or JD? I just noticed on the press release that Drayton and the Count are both main guys involved. We'll see shortly!
My biggest worry is that none of the big guns (Abreu/Tejada/C Lee/Soriano) are gonna be available until right up until the deadline because so many teams are within a handful of games of contending...thus, it's a seller's market.....by the time this road trip ends, the Stros could be out of the race....we need help ASAP!
i've narrowed it down: bagwell is retiring - timing seems right milo is retiring - timing seems right they're sending down their floatsam (lane, taveras, wandy) and turning it over to the kids (scott... not really a kid, hirch and pence) - timing seems right i can't think of anything beyond that.
With most of Astro-nation clammoring for a deal to help us for the 2nd half, the Milo thing would be a big letdown.
They just said that if its an Oswalt extension, that they will vomit on the air. Can you imagine if this has to do with Milo?
