Happy New Year, all. Just wondering, does anyone else find the Series outcome even more depressing now that we've been inundated with all the "Year In Review"...
I don't mind it. It actually makes me happy - it just reminds me, over and over again, that we finally made the World Series! Never before have we even been in...
Re Tex's response, didn't mean to say I am "disappointed" with the wonderful season we just had; believe me, I too am still giddy over the mere fact that we...
The Astros have turned their focus towards signing an outfielder and are going after either Wilson or Jeromy Burnitz, the Houston Chronicle reports. ROTOWIRE...
Burnitz would give us another great lefty bat. He probably would strike out less than the other guy we are going after. we'll see if anything happens. Bill...
I'd rather have Burnitz than Wilson. IMO, Wilson is incredibly overrated, his power isn't really worth his bad BA. We went after Burnitz last year, right? I...

Berkman has had bad knees, wonder if he'll be able to get back to old self. He never was fast, but almost anything is better than last year's running and...

Astros haven't asked Bagwell to retire 01/12/2006 12:19 AM ET By Alyson Footer / MLB.com http://houston.astros.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp? ...
... It doesn't matter. Bagwell played after his surgery--including starting in two WS games. The insurance company can point to that as proving Bagwell can...
In all due respect, Bags sure did not look like he could play during the WS...Just cuz he swing a bat does not prove this. Hell, Albert Belle can swing a bat!...
... I'm not commenting on how he "looked". Or even on how *I* thought he looked. The Astros a) took him off the DL, b) used him as a PH in September, c) put...
the thing about Baggie is that he has a similar work ethic that The Rocket and Nolie have. He pushes himself and if anyone can overcome he will. It's a toss...
