EDIT: Never mind... missed the post from Air Langhi.
Yup. That's why it cracks me up to see all of HillBoy's hand-wringing about how the Astros are "doomed" in the AL West because they'll be...
Got exposed? Dude, he's a rookie quarterback playing against arguably the best defense in the NFL, on the road. OF COURSE HE'S NOT GOING TO DO...
Yes, I know it reads funny. :) But for me, when I speak in terms of time frames, there are some idealist assumptions in there. That is,...
As Major said, the two Wild Cards is what gives them the opportunity. It'll definitely take much longer than 2014 to compete with the Rangers...
The Astros are at a much better point now than they were in 2010, when those two were dealt. There are several young starters that actually have...
If the six years Wandy is here corresponds with the time that the team's young core is on extremely cheap contracts, it might make sense to spend...
There's a reason it's called upside; there's a downside to it, too. You should have to give more "upside", in theory, to acquire a proven Major...

I think whether the team wins games or not is mostly going to determine that. :)
I think Crane will have deep pockets when the team is ready. The key item is when. The thing about free-agent signings in MLB is that you almost...
Agreed.
The Mavs have virtually no assets of any value to swap to the Magic in a hypothetical exchange for Howard. I'm sure that's what he and Deron might...
It's not Dwight's choice. Please get that straight. The Rockets were one of the two finalists for the Magic at the trade deadline, and most agree...
To be clear, there weren't any actual reports that the Texans offered Jones for McCoy. McClain admittedly pulled it out of his ass as wild...
Berman has it too, so it's legit.
Or how about an NBA official make the right calls, and be disciplined when he doesn't? Rondo made a mistake, but it's a very human one...
