Here is the Astros Newsletter for May 2008. 2008 Astros Newsletter, Issue 2 Month in Review: Preseason Prediction: In the Chronicle's preseason preview, they...
I have a great idea to fix baseball schedule problems. I am disappointed with the scheduling in both leagues and with Interleague Play in general. (Note: the...
Well, honestly, I would think that we don't need to create 4 divisions. The Western Divisions in the AL has only 4 teams and the other AL leagues have 5...
Hell yes, San Antonio needs an MLB team (we currently have AA Missions, which I believe are in the Padres organization)! But I don't like the name "Texans" for...
Interesting idea and great post. A couple of weeks ago I heard someone call in to 790 and mention something about expansion. Pallilo brought up an interesting...
I agree with the fact that the Astros should be in the NL West. With the Rangers being in the NL West, it doesn't make a lot of sense for the Astros to be...
always thought central made more since, and i'd hate to see astros and rangers in the same league much less the same division. if anything move the rangers to...
People in San Antonio wouldn't care what league or division their team would be in - as long as there's beer at the games, that's all that matters. Jeanna To:...
lol, i wasn't implying they would, i was trying to say that mr. mclane and isn't mr. hicks? the owner of the rangers niether one would want a new team in san...
I agree. I really don't see a way that the Rangers can move out of the AL West because that leaves the AL West with only 3 teams. And there are not really...
bump the rockies to the american league. and when i originally said move them to the al central was when this thread was talking about adding more teams,...
Actually, I think that the Rockies would be perfect for the American League. After all, the American League is all about offense with DH's and stuff like...
The Astros seem to have a fetish with taking catchers in the first round. We took Max Sapp in the first round in 2006 and I think that J.R. House was a first...
Okay, I am completely lost. The Astros first round pick in the consolation round was a right-handed pitcher named Jordan Lyles.? This guy is such an unknown...
Just read that he was all-state in baseball and basketball. And as you say he must have done well in football as well. I guess they like his athleticism. ...
Well, I wish that he had done better for us but I really think that he had shown that he wasn't cut out for a pinch-hitter spot and was time for him to go.?...
The bottom part of an article concerning a meeting that Ed Wade had with the team included the following notes on the bottom: On Tuesday, Geoff Blum was...
Strange platoon (if it's a true platoon) given both players numbers are nearly identical versus righties. I agree with you on the timing since Wiggy has been...
this possibly comes from Blum almost having to come in the game to play catcher the other day. ... From: subprong To: houstonsbrandofbaseball@yahoogroups.com ...
I think the meeting was a lot harsher than Berkman and Cooper made it out to be, and for good reason. This simply is not a .500 ballclub (sub .500 now). Wiggy...
You think Wade ripped into them? Will you please mention what Berkman and Cooper had to say about the discussion? Thanks. ... [Non-text portions of this...
He called a balk on that? What the heck was he calling? As if we haven't had enough problems with the umpires this season, that is just ridiculous? Come 'on! ...
Was that Angel Hernandez who called it? If so, big surprise. Why is this umpire involved in so many controversial calls. There should be a stat for umps -...
Berkman and Cooper were very mum about it but you could tell it was an intense meeting, or maybe that's just me overthinking it. What a game tonight, in any...
He made a ton of bad calls tonight, whoever he was. Really aggravating. Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile ... From: subprong <subprong@...> Date: Fri, 13...
