    Poor Towles.

    Roy Oswalt asked for his job, so he got sent down to the minors and immediately broke his hand.

    That was my first thought, too. He got really skinny.

    Damn I wished I would've gone! I've always wanted to go back then, but none of my buddies wanted to go with. It wasn't too far either, somewhere near Memorial Mall ya?

    Chase shoots right handed, but bats lefty. Nobody does that without having insane coordination. Is there any sport he can't play?

    He may have played baseball in high school. A lot of right-handed baseball players learn to bat that way intentionally to get an advantage on right-handed pitchers.

    What the hell? I didn't realize that was Jeff Bagwell. I don't really follow baseball anymore, but I knew Bagwell was the hitting coach or something now. But knowing that, I still would've never guessed that was him. lol. Wow. It looks like he just deflated.

    The fact that he hasn't played professionally in 5 years and hasn't needed to keep in tip top shape, plus a degenerative shoulder condition, couldn't have anything to do with it.

    I can't believe people can begin to argue that bagwell didn't do steriods. Everyone was juicin in the 90's and early 00's. You don't lose your muscles that quickly

    Just people thinking that their idols/heroes are perfect. Im sure you think he is a nice guy too :rolleyes:
