    Will the Astros ever go all the way or will Drayton continue to make excuses. Not that he does'nt have a legimate complaint on these high priced players! But we as Astros fans put our trust in him by agreeing on the new baseball field and it just seems that he isn't doing anything to make the team better! With the exception of re-signing Bags! Will H-Town ever make Basesball Headlines?

    In the current baseball economic system? Never! Not until the proletariat rises up and smashes Bud Selig's bourgeiosie.

    I learned that listening to Gore stump speeches.

    Shane Reynolds tore up his knee jogging today and will miss the first 2 months of the season.

    If the Stros didn't have bad luck, they wouldn't have any at all.

    It certainly wasn't Maclane's fault that the Astros did not hit in the 97, 98 and 99 playoffs. He may catch a lot of flack, but the Astros put very good teams on the field those 3 years (O.K., O.K., the 97 team was not in the 'very good' category, but they still had a good hitting team that neglected to hit in the playoffs)

    The Astros will win it all only if the Red Sox were to disband, and that won't happen to anytime soon. [​IMG]

    The Red Sox should be disbanded. As many times as they have been whooped by the Yankees, the Sox should be ashamed and just dismantle their franchise!

    That sucks. Luck has not been good to the Astros lately.

    Hopefully Drayton and Hunsicker will take advantage of Bagwell's contract extension not kicking in until 2002 and improve the ballclub in much needed areas such as pitching.

    Hey, we made pretty decent headlines when we got Randy Johnson. You've gotta admit, back then you were really siked to be an Astro fan.
