Posted Wednesday October 14, 2009, About: Wagner to retire before 400th save

If you don't want to go to the research sites, you can always just click his name in red in the article itself. ;-)

Posted Friday October 09, 2009, About: Giants in market for big bat

Make the Astros an offer for Carlos Lee. Please. Hits about .300, drives in 100+ runs. Salary is too big for a team going nowhere.

Posted Saturday September 12, 2009, About: Astros manager, GM on hot seat

Cooper: gone. Wade: stays. Tejada: gone. Lee: years of bloated salary left. Matsui: 1 more year @ $5.5M. Berkman: lots of money left. Bourn & Pence: here for a while. C & 3B: WTF?

Posted Tuesday September 01, 2009, About: A-Rod may not need second surgery

No hip surgery, just a lobotomy.

Posted Tuesday September 01, 2009, About: Stafford last Lions QB standing?

Nobody gets 8 stitches for a carpet stub. Clearly they're not being entirely truthful here.

Posted Monday August 17, 2009, About: Cooper on way out of Houston?

Hey, Mecca, don't exaggerate. Not 12 runs every night, just 3 times in the past 2.5 weeks. 8 runs or more in 9 of the past 18 games. (Geez, that's awful!)

Posted Monday August 17, 2009, About: Cooper on way out of Houston?

Ed Wade has been on the job 2 years as GM. He walks a tightrope between budget & talent. He's made some weird trades and acquisitions, but he doesn't get a failing grade. (Example: Lidge for Bourn - a year ago, that was a failure; now, not so much.) We need to see what the draft class looks like.
Cooper doesn't seem like he is intellectually or temperamentally suited to be a manager - I think McLane hired him because Bud asked him to.
McLane is a problem, but you don't fire owners. He is too eager to make a splashy free-agent signing (or to call a trade or siging a big deal when it isn't - Aubrey Huff or Jason Jennings), but so much of it is driven by marketing.
A big problem is the inability to admit a flop, because it might hurt ticket sales. So this year, we might have gotten a prospect or two for Valverde or Tejada, but that would be admitting defeat (at the box office). Instead, they'll be gone in two months with nothing to show for it.
Starting pitching has been generally awful, or at best bipolar. Ortiz is gone; Hampton is next, and Mohler is after him.

B*tch, please.

Posted Tuesday July 14, 2009, About: Behind the Romo-Jessica break up

"Why Romo broke up with Jessica"
I don't know - why?

Posted Sunday July 05, 2009, About: Red Sox trade hinges on Lowell

Wow! The secret twists and turns of high-school cliques. Things are getting catty...........

Posted Sunday July 05, 2009, About: Braves in market for shortstop?

Please send the Astros some great players for Tejada. Please.

Posted Thursday July 02, 2009, About: D-Backs nix Angels' offer for Haren

Hey, the Astros are showcasing 6 (SIX) starters. Make us an offer we can't refuse.

Posted Wednesday June 24, 2009, About: What's wrong with Greinke?

"What's wrong with Greinke?"
Nothing that can't be cured by pitching against the Astros.

Posted Tuesday June 23, 2009, About: What's wrong with Greinke?

SI cover boy - there's your answer. Hope he continues his losing ways against the Astros.

Posted Tuesday June 23, 2009, About: Fehr's retirement tied to Sosa leak?

C'mon, Cat! Greenie up and hit one out for the team!
I wish Selig and Fehr had long ago gone to their love nest in Tahiti and left the rest of us alone.

Posted Tuesday June 23, 2009, About: Did partying with starlet 'fatigue' A-Rod?

I hate to say anything in support of Kate Hudson, but with about 2 dozen movies to her credit, in many of which she played the female lead, she is a "star", not a "starlet."

Posted Saturday June 20, 2009, About: Clemens looking forward to day in court

"Clemens looking forward to day in court."

No, he's not.

Posted Saturday June 20, 2009, About: Dice-K destined for Red Sox bullpen?

"Does that mean Matsuzaka is at some point going to disabled list or the bullpen? Not necessarily."

So the article was a tease, and we went for it.

Posted Thursday June 18, 2009, About: Young just needed to vent

Beware of anyone who speaks of themselves in the 3rd person - it suggests a personality disorder. (Of course, you could have a personality disorder and still be the greatest lead-off hitter of all time.)

Posted Thursday June 18, 2009, About: Red Sox, Rangers talked trade

I think it's valid to look at trend data. Even a 13-game window can tell you that he's doing much better than April and May when his career was reported to be over. 4 HR and 10 RBI in 2 weeks is by no means "on fire," but it is a definite improvement.

Posted Friday June 12, 2009, About: Cardinals eyeing Tejada

He IS great in the clubhouse. And I don't mind the Cardinals getting him if (i) we don't make a run and (ii) we good a king's ransom.
