QUOTE(EvilJester99 @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 09:35 PM) Cooper looks to have some work to do with this pen... Fixed that for you. And here's what Coop needs to do with some of these guys:

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 09:14 PM) I think Houston wanted either Bush or Williams. Those were the only two they wanted. By trading down to even 3, they are losing out on Williams guaranteed, because New Orleans seemed pretty much dead set on Williams or trade down. They feel both are worthy of being the #1 pick, but with everything considered, Williams was more valuable to them than Bush. Still, given what they could have gotten for Bush, I think it's a big mistake for them to pass on what additional parts they could have gotten for him. It's not like either of those pieces were going to be the final key for the Texans, they still have a ton of holes they could have filled if they traded down.

Anyone else up in our pen?

Anderson is 0/3 in his career against Cotts, with 1 BB and 1 K

Going along with the clapping sound..."bring in Cotts, bring in Cotts"

Where the f*** was Uribe playing there?!?!

Well, at least Vlad can't hit a 5 run home run.

Logan struggling to throw strikes again. Wait a second...that's not Logan...what gives...

QUOTE(fathom @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 09:25 PM) It was about time he cooled off. At least when he catches fire....he's awesome. So I haven't watched Thome too much, any idea how long his cold spells usually last?

QUOTE(rventura23 @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 09:21 PM) thome has 4 K's ouch Jim hasn't looked too good at the plate the last few games. Dah well, that's what they told us when we got him, he'd tear the cover off the ball some weeks, other weeks he'd strike out like mad. The more games we win when he struggles, the more games he's going to turn into victories for us later.

Yes, that's right, it's RUSH LIMBAUGH MUGSHOT TIME!

It's very nice to get a 3rd Angels pitcher in there, and hopefully a 4th before the end of the game. Wear that bullpen down some today.

"The dangerous Scott Podsednik". Anaheim's announcers are funny.

Wow, the "Personal Savings rate", the rate of money being put into savings by people, was -.2% in the 4th quarter of 05, meaning that people were spending more than they were saving. Last quarter it was -.5%. In other Words, Americans spent $50 billion more in the first quarter than they saved, through some combination of credit and eating into old savings. Those are not good numbers to run. The GDP number is good, but wages aren't growing at all with the growth, and they're even being outpaced by inflation, to the point that Americans are following the advice of their government and financing expansion on credit cards. This is not a situation that I think we can sustain for long, not with all the buildup of credit already financing this expansion. There either has to start being some real wage growth, or the consumer is just going to have to back off. Especially with that bankruptcy bill thrown in there.

AJ Pierzynski Walks. Joe Crede Strikes out. Why do I get the feeling Anderson's going to get like 4 hits this inning?

QUOTE(T R U @ Apr 28, 2006 -> 08:49 PM) They also had a studly OLine.. as soon as they fix the Texans line youll see just how good DD is He has rushed for over 1,000 yards every year behind that crap line It's also worth noting I think that the Texans still really haven't made any major improvements to that line IMO. Maybe they'll try in the later rounds, but eh...
