Any word from training camp?   Message List

Re: [Astros] Any word from training camp?

Why do you think Biggio was the reason we got rid of Mulusky? What
happened? I thought he was a poor catcher, and getting into physical fights
on the field, with fellow teamates because of a batting cage incident isn't
going to help anyone. If you are going to have an ego in Baseball at least
have performance on the field to back it up.
Cheers.

Cmon people post post post!!!
