    What???

    So did the Red Sox get "what they wanted" out of Larry Anderson and "we got what we wanted" out of Baggy??

    We've been on the other end when we traded away Joe Morgan, Cesar Geronimo, and Jack Billingham to the Reds for Lee May and Tommy Helms.

    There are good trades, bad trades and there also trades that are highway robbery!!

    Yeah, they did, Anderson was nails for them, and they liked Scott Cooper more than Bagwell. Oops.

    Yeah he was "Nails" for them for 15 games and moved on the following season. Bagwell is in the HOF. Good trade? Bad trade or HIGHWAY robbery????

    Yeah this just grasping at straw at this point and sadly media people will run with it. But it's the price you pay when you have been caught. They will always look into something.

    So in first video it was 1 whistle for fastball and in second video it was 2 whistles. Got it..so they were changing signs to make sure they couldn't tell lol..

    Oh, and lets wait till the pitch is being dealt to whistle LMAO

    Now you're deflecting. Of course there are bad trades. I already mentioned one where the Stros got fleeced (Joe Morgan trade). The comment I made is the Stros OBVIOUSLY stole Yordan from the LAD. Marshall's comment of "They got what they needed"? Well ok what did they get and did the Stros get? Looks like highway robbery to me.

    Also. Larry Anderson wasn't really "nails" in the playoffs for Boston that yr. He was the losing pitcher in game one against Oakland giving up two runs in one inning (Boston got swept 4-0).

    All Houston Astros Baseball Broadcasts on my cable except national broadcasts (few) went away with the creation of FSH. Time Warner dropped the Astros at that time in my area. The sole provider was expensive and unreliable in the Golden Triangle. I wasn't able to watch regular season games until I found out about Live Streaming online, It's getting harder and herder to find better ones as MLB keeps shutting them down, but NOT offering an alternative to those living in their blackout areas.

    Why they can't figure out Cable Contracts are on their way out is beyond me. Direct marketing of games to their home markets is the future, They are stuck in the YES Network envy blindness.
