Re: Wimpy GMs and Big Mouthed Media

Yeah, from the 'Stros POV I thought more would get done by the end of the meetings. I still can't figure out why we're cutting payroll and increasing ticket prices, but it isn't the first time...

Re: Wimpy GMs and Big Mouthed Media

Hard to backup your payroll cutting statement there. They inked Lee to a $100 million deal and Woody to a $12 million deal, then after each of those, they still tried or are trying to resign Pettitte...

Re: Wimpy GMs and Big Mouthed Media

I don't think so but even after Andy we still should have around 5-10 million to spend. If we were putting the same payroll out there as we had last season. Lee's contract is more than covered by...

Hey, he can be angry if he wants to.For my part, I see a BIG improvement in this year's Astros off-season as compared with last year's. At least they seem to be trying.May not make us better, but at...

Re: Wimpy GMs and Big Mouthed Media

they seem to try every year. Every year it is the same thing. "oh we got great great plans, we need to get us this and that." But do they? I know there is still time left in the offseason, but this...

Re: Wimpy GMs and Big Mouthed Media

Seriously...the additions of Carlos Lee and Woody Williams are not nothing. You're acting like this is the Royals. Yes, the offense was bad last year. Yes, Lidge had a terrible year and just 1 less...

Re: Wimpy GMs and Big Mouthed Media

All Purpura has done is sign Oswalt and Berkman to what looks like bargains today. And he signed Williams prior to Lilly and Meche contracts, likely saving another 3-5 million. Yes, he overpaid for...

Re: Wimpy GMs and Big Mouthed Media

Let me throw you all a little wrinkle that you probably haven't thought of.What if Houston was the one to leak the deal so that Pettitte would catch wind of it. Facts:1)The Astros have stated they...

Re: Wimpy GMs and Big Mouthed Media

Froback, some of what you say might be possible, though speculative. However, the facts don't support the idea that Hendricks called the Astros and said "stop, Pettitte wants to play in Houston."...
