:confused: This makes me want to beat my head against the wall. So, for the Lidge trade, you analyze both sides of it -- what we got, and what...
It is beyond astounding that people have opinions like this today. The Astros did not give up a single player worth anything. Jason Hirsh is...
If only there were a QB/team that beat Bradford/Oklahoma by double digits that returned more starters...
You can't have it both ways. You can't mention his versatility, in terms of catching passes, returning kicks, etc. as a positive, and then act...
No, what I'm hoping you love about Willie Parker is how he consistently produced in his prime, with a YPC of above 4 in four of his five years in...
As a punt returner, maybe. As an offensive player, hilarious. YPC of under 4, two rushing touchdowns in 10 games. As a receiver, YPC of 8.5, 52...
If he's one of the most dangerous players at his position, why can't he come close to 4 YPC in one year? Hell, why can't he even break 3.7? See,...
This is unbelievable... first Lance, then Roy, then Wandy, and now Bourn is out today with a strained groin. He says he should be back in a couple...

Do you realize how lucky Hunsicker and the Astros were with the Pettitte/Clemens deal? Gerry would tell you the same thing. Here are two all-world...
Tim Purpura. That's my point -- you can't blame Drayton for not being "committed to winning" by not spending. He'll spend. It's just that his...
The Phillies weren't willing to give up Bourn during the 2007 regular season. The Astros and Purpura figured Lidge would have more value after...
It all changed in the 2007-08 offseason, when they hired Neal Huntington as GM. If you're bored, google him -- he's a really, really bright guy....
Who said it wasn't Hunsicker's team? You guys keep changing the arguments. Purpura didn't make the team, but he also knew not to alter it. If...
You do, if you have the revenue to support it. The Astros don't have the revenue to expect them to go over current levels -- in fact, they're way...
The Pirates actually have one of the brighter management minds in the game -- it's just that fans and most media types are too short-sighted to...
