The Stros former owner was ripped a new one by Houston for dealing Nolan.
Drayton won't want to be that guy again in this town. No Clemens means lost
hope, empty seats and alot of bogus P.R.

Though, I wouldn't be mad if we traded and got something worth it to build
on for next season.

I don't think a team that thinks they can make a playoff run (and make a
trade to do so) will give away Hank Blalock though.
