You're right. I forgot that a bunch of yahoos on an internet message board at 3:30 on a Tuesday afternoon are better versed in the wheelings and dealings of major league baseball teams than the actual general manager of one. You can agree or disagree with any move they may or may not make, but some of you are acting like they're doing nothing (and we don't even know that) for the sake of doing nothing. As if they don't want to improve the team. But you're all so witty with your fat jokes.
While ya'll are arguing... I posted the trade up there... Mo and cash to Padres for a player to be named and cash. If there is something else, I guess we will have to wait till 4pm.
that trade was posted a while ago...we know it. but i doubt seriously there's a press conference for that.
790 is saying there is no word of another move yet. Only thing they keep mentioning is the astros have not posted their lineup for the game tonite.
Wow, thanks for the scoop. Can you tell us anything about the possibility of Steve Francis coming back to the Rockets?
Don't you guys think that if it was anything of any substance, someone would've broken the story by now? It's probably just another Drayton McClain "Pep Rally" to tell us all that it's not over and that they need us to support the Astros now more than ever! I'll always be an Astros fan...but today, their front office makes me sick.
Perhaps the astros will discuss their excitement over the Texans new QB or ponder how Rick Adelman will balance the minutes between so many guards?
You didn't know that? Being on clutchfans and having a bully pulpit makes you a baseball expert. Also, they all bugged the Astros phone system and all know that the Yankees offered A-Rod for Mark Loretta and the Giants offered Barry Bonds and Matt Morris for Jason Lane and Junction Jack.
Heh... we were right. There weren't any other moves. With the Astros, jokes just tend to reflect reality. A sad indictment on the situation today.
not only does ensberg suck at baseball. he thinks so-cal has better mexican food than htown. "I can’t wait to go have Mexican food.”-ensberg today
Has anybody here considered the possibility that other teams were not offering anything of value to this team? Getting a decent player that does not fill a lineup hole while trading away a pitcher that creates a bullpen hole is not really helpful.
They should have gotten SHSU grad Luke Prihoda from Arizona or Jordan Tata from Detroit (who threw 7 innings allowing only 2 er and 6 hits in his first career start in place of Kenny Rogers). Those Lamar kids are duds.
I know they want to, but sometimes I question it. I sometimes feel Drayton wants to just have a somewhat competitive team that will bring people to his stadium.
