Gotta have Mike Scott and Billy Doran. Those guys were awesome during the mid- to late-80s. And Larry Andersen is a MUST, if only because he got us Bags.
Puhl? Where's Jimmy the Toy Cannon Wynn????? Before Bagwell, Wynn was the best Astro hitter ever! Man he always gets overlooked.
Actually, this is Knepper's exact feelings on the N.O.W.: "NOW is such a blow-hard organization. They are a bunch of lesbians . Their focus has nothing to do with women's rights. It has everything to do with wanting to be men." I wonder if Hootie Johnson and he are friends.
Actually, the most underrated relief pitcher was Frank "DePenus" Dipino. I think they created the blown save category just for him so that his true talent could be appropriately measured. I can remember my old man storming out of the room cussing every time they brought him into the game.
And wasn't that the greatest 3 days ever. my memory is terrible, but it went something crazy like this... Deshaies 8 k to start a game Ryan 2 hit shutout Scott no hitter to clinch division
How about the poll question: Who's the greatest Astro of them all? Candidates are: Bagwell, Biggio, Cruz, Cedano According to Neyer: I've always liked Biggio more than Bagwell but when it's all said and done, Bagwell will be the first Astros-cap wearing HOF.
Having Neyer in Biggio's corner should help him a lot for the HOF. It's going to be an interesting vote when his name comes up.
