[Fred Hornkohl]

At how much it would've taken to get Tejada and his salary? I'm not so sure.

I thought the Stros gave up a lot of quantity, but not quality. Could be remembering wrong, though.

Bobby Dernier has some good pipes. I wonder if he has any desire to call games. Edited April 6, 2008 by Garage Party!

You pretty much hit the nail on the head.

[Andy]

Solid work by Bobby D.

 

Let's go get Z a win.

It almost seemed like Bobby Dernier didn't want to be bothered with singing the stretch.

That's what I thought. He or Renteria would have been terrific. Braves and Tigers seemed to have some back room dealing on Edgar, though.

Luke Scott, pitchers Matt Albers, Troy Patton and Dennis Sarfate, and third baseman Michael Costanzo is what the Astros gave up. While that's a lot, had we offered Murton, Gallagher, Veal, Cedeno, and a lower level minor leaguer, we probably could have at least competed with the Astros line-up.

 

Having Tejada would have allowed us to hit Fukudome second and use Tejada fifth.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Villareal in to pitch for Houston

[Warpticon]

Bob Dernier's favorite word: backyard.

[Fred Hornkohl]

Johnson popped out to shallow right field

[Keener98]

LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[Vanilla Ice]

It's gotta be the beard

[Fred Hornkohl]

D Lee homered to left center field

[Guest]

Ok, Lee absolutely crushed that ball.

[CyHawk_Cub]

Too b ad DLee's power is gone....much like the ball he just vaporized
