    Entertainment Triple - 10 Double -8 HR - 7 Steal - 6 Single - 5 Walk - 3 A lot of home runs are actually boring, IMHO. Run value Home Run - 10 Triple - 9 Double - 7 Single - 4 Walk - 3 Steal - 2

    Academics who want to suppress people whose opinions differs from theirs..

    The whole notion of a "closer" is silly to begin with. Relief roles have become too specialized these days.

    Ditto. I just don't get it. The fans and the media hold baseball to a different standard.

    Sorry, with all the "has anybody been to..." threads, I just couldn't resist. Forgive me.http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/smile.gif

    Carlos Beltran, Andy Pettitte, and Roger Clemens.

    Several points 1. McLane (and that's the spelling) is a meddlesome owner. Not as bad as some, and he's generally put a good product on the field. Before this season the Astros had the 4th best winning percentage in baseball since 1992. 2. The decision to play Biggio so much came from McLane. 3. The farm system is depleted because of 10 years of bad drafts. 4. The Jennings trade was an act of desperation after Pettitte went to NYC. I didn't think it was a bad trade at the time, but apparently the Astros allowed the Rockies to snooker them on Jennings' health. Jennings pitched at Baylor and McLane is a Baylor alum. 5. Garner platoons way too much. 6. The Astros have about 45 mil a year wrapped up in just 3 players. McLane is not a cheap owner, but he's not going to go out and mimic the Yankees or the Red Sox. With a barren farm system, getting cheap talent is going to be difficult and having so much salary invested in 3 players is gonna make it difficult for the next GM to get talent. Bottom line - while neither Purpura or Garner did a good job, it's hard to figure out how much flexibility McLane gave them.

    Astros fans would love to get Carl Crawford since he's a good player who's from Houston It's funny to read some of the ridiculous Crawford trade proposals Astros fans post on various websites.

    So how did the show go? I live near Houston so obviously I couldn't go to the show, but I love live music.

    I love MJH! My most recent purchase (via emusic) is:http://www.emusic.com/img/album/105/984/10598493_155_155.jpeg

    I work for a home health agency near Houston and our patients are freaking right now. Back in 2005 before Rita, I was out til 2AM delivering oxygen to a few of our patients. Oh well, I guess it's just a part of living on the Gulf Coast.

    Well said - especially the zero sum part. Some people think that giving Bonds credit takes away from Aaron and that just isn't the case.

    It sounds like this guy was just causing trouble. But, does this mean I can't mention Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys? His song They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore is a real classic.
  14. Phenomenal Smith
    How about this for hitters and this for pitchers.

    As a someone who isn't a Brewers fan, I am surprised that this is even being discussed. Your team hasn't made the playoffs in 25 years, is in first place in August, and has a rookie who's putting up MVP level numbers. That sounds pretty good to me. OK, so your team isn't the '27 Yankees, you still have a great chance to make the playoffs and anything can happen in a 5 or 7 game series.
  16. Phenomenal Smith
    Do you mean like this?
  17. Phenomenal Smith
    I use MySpace to keep track of some local bands I like. I don't get the social networking aspect of it.
  18. Phenomenal Smith
    Oops! I fixed the LastFm link.
  19. Phenomenal Smith
    Yes.
  20. Phenomenal Smith
    Did anyone see this show last night?. While I still love Motown, I gotta say I dig Stax even more than Hitsville, USA. Between Sun Records and Stax, Memphis sure was a happening place back in the day. Here's a LastFm playlist I did with some of the songs that were used on the show. (added tag --1992)

    Ditto to all that. I love my iPod Shuffle, but I had some problems getting it to work with iTunes. It was probably just something screwy with my computer. I ended up buying a plug-inn for Windows Media Player and I add tunes that way.
  22. Phenomenal Smith
    I wish my team was in the same position as the Brewers.
  23. Phenomenal Smith
    He needs to find a team that will let him have his approach to the plate without whining that he needs to be "aggressive". The Astros never really liked Ensberg's patience, even when it was working in 2003, 2005, and early 2006.
  24. Phenomenal Smith
    The appeal of modern Nashville eludes me. I love country, but what comes out of Nashville doesn't sound like country to me. I love live music, but to get my country fix, I have to small honky tonks and hear mostly obscure local or regional artists. I live near Houston, so it's not that hard to find some good country music either from Houston's small local scene or from Austin's much larger one.
  25. Phenomenal Smith
    Uh, no. I was just taking issue with the idea that only an injury could slow him down.
