Phil Rogers is wondering if the Astros would trade Clemens to the Cubs????

are they "about winning" this year? they're not exactly doing a bang-up job in that effort.

were they about winning last season? they got no farther than we did.

 

nevermind...way off.

 

They'll be in the playoffs in October. Whatever it takes, their owner will do.

 

When you're in the biggest market in the league by far, then it's a lot easier to do whatever it takes. Have Steinbrenner and McLane switch teams for a season and I bet all the whiners will be spelling Steinbrenner wrong.

Also, McLane's never made a move at the deadline to help his team. Ever.

 

I don't think McClane is a bad owner at all. Facts are facts though. I would bet on the Yanks being there at the end. I think we'll finish third.

The Cardinals or Cubs may be willing to spend more than us.

 

I'm smoking the sarcastic tobastic.

I got nuthin'.

 

do you realize he presided over one of the darkest periods in Yankee history??? remember the whole Costanza rant on him?? guys like Danny Tartabull...that whole era??

i don't think they're making the playoffs, frankly.

 

It's only been 30 games!! Only 30 games!!

 

i know that. i just think their competition is too tough. i had no idea the AL East would be that strong, outside of Boston.

it's just a guess on my part. but with RJ going down to injury, things aren't on the upswing. their offense is fine...it's pitching that's the problem..and that's far more difficult to overcome.

 

Max, I was just making fun of you for always saying that about the Astros when people criticize (it's only been __ games). I even threw in the extra, haphazardly-used exclamation points that seem to be your trademark.

 

So Max either didn't get or didn't appreciate my Jake Jarmel reference. Sad. Truly sad.

 

sorry..saw your response just now.
