    LOL, to be fair he was just re-tweeting someone else's thought. Good to see Ryan get another W but it would have been so nice to see Nolan own the Stros.

    anybody ever listen to the ed wade show? never have my dial on 740 unless it's for a stros game, so tonight was the first time i caught any of it (unintentionally, just because radio was still on 740 from last night).

    was only in the car briefly, but caught a couple of interesting tidbits. #1: good chance they attempt to convert wilton lopez to starter, #2: he said he never did nor would he ever tell anybody that somebody is "untouchable". said that would be shortsighted of him. there are people that he may have in mind that he'd have to get blown away by an offer to trade them, but never would tell a team that somebody is untouchable. always willing to listen. lets all keep that in mind when we hear rumors like that in future years.

    definitely an interesting listen...wish i caught the show regularly. wade seems to be more candid and willing to give a bit more info than one would expect.

    He got his start as a PR intern 30 years ago. He's a great interview.

    I listened last week (Sunday I think?) for the first time. I liked the show.

    way better than i expected, and that's not a knock against him, i'm just always leery of those coaches or gm radio hours. 99% of the time you're not going to get much insider-ish insight and info, and you'll get a bunch of cookie cutter answers that you can see coming from a mile away.

    in what was probably a total of 8 minutes of my listening, he revealed 2 pretty big pieces of info (anybody else even heard murmurs that wilton may be transitioned to starter?), and caught the tail end of his breakdown of the tejada trade, assessing it before and after. i'd venture to say that any of his naysayers would gain a good deal more respect for the man if they gave it a listen.

    would be cool if anybody is a regular listener, if they can break down the show for us each week like people do on the rockets forums whenever morey gives a radio interview.
