glad they made a move.
The 'Stros just picked up OF/3B Aubrey Huff and some cash from the Devil Rays for a couple of minor leaguers.
They also sent Jason Lane to AAA Round Rock
glad they made a move.
It was about time. They need serious run support.
Huff is well-suited for the short fence in right. Nice bat and he should be a good RBI man for the Astros.
huff is also a big time second half performer.
great move for the astros in ripping off tampa.
Garner and the Astros know that losing 1-0 can't keep happening if they want to go back to the World Series. They need to add another bat though.
It's about time they chunked him and his .205 hitting sorry ass back down.
His K in the 9th inning Sun nite was the last straw.
Awesome. Aubrey Huff is a nice player, plus he was starting to go off. He always goes off in the 2nd half of seasons anyways.
Huff closes?
Here are his stats from '05, before and after the all-star break.
Code:SEASON G AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB K SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS Pre All Star 84 313 32 80 12 2 8 45 27 53 8 4 .256 .319 .383 .702 Post All-Star 70 262 38 70 14 0 14 47 22 35 0 3 .267 .323 .481 .804
Great move by the 'Stros.
Hopefully the Cardinals can get the Andrew Jones Renteria trade pulled off, thats being talked about on Home Plate on XM Radio right now.
Or the other rumored Alfonso Soriano trade.
i havent heard about this andrew jones, renteria trade, whats going on with that.
soriano is going to be moved now after the nationals picked up kearns.
its really just a matter of who can give them most to washington.
I was a huge fan of Soriano when he was a Yankee.
MLB Home Plate had a guy from MLB.com and said hes hearing this from writers in Atlanta.whats going on with that.
Im skeptical till it happens.
Now Tim Kurkjian is saying the Cardinals are working on something "big".
So we will see.
Cardinals according to Steve Phillips on ESPN are also going for Alfonso Soriano.
Rumors in Chicago also of the Cardinals trying to get Todd Walker.
If the Cardinals can pull off the Jones or Soriano trade, they become the NLCS chamions.
The gauntlet on the team would be insane if they got Andruw Jones and Renteria.
The defense would also be insane.
Im praying it happens.
Huff just hit a three run homer. Nice debut.
Huff's pre and post allstar stats over the past 3 years
Code:AB R H 2B 3B HR RBI BB HBP SO SB CS AVG OBP SLG OPS Pre-All Star 1005 128 279 54 4 38 147 88 14 141 12 8 .278 .341 .453 .794 Post-All Star 806 125 247 46 3 47 156 70 5 101 3 3 .306 .361 .546 .907
Yea Huff. Welcome to still not going to the playoffs.
HEY
Fellow Cards fan.
How about that WOH by El Hombre CaptMike
The guy on the main board that as the church sign about Big Al is the best.
The Cards without him would be... well... the Astros.
so they would have made the world series last year?
Tell me honestly you think the strobes were a better team than the Cards last year.
Tell me you think George Mason was one of the top 4 teams in the NCAA last year?
It isn't always who is the best, but who is playing the best at the end of the season. Houston was playing better ball at the end of the season, yet the Cards were clearly a better team.
The Cardinals in the top of the 9th innings in 3 and 4 had chances to tie and take the lead.
Cardinals would've more than likely been swept by the Sox too.
Maybe won 1 game.
the stros won the series. you sound like every other spur fan around here after we lost to the mavs. the card had a much better hitting lineup, but the stros had better pitching.
In the reg season the Cards were 11-5 against the strobes. Houston won the playoff series 4-2, that makes 13-9 for the year. The Cards were better, beat them all year long, but Houston was better at the end of the year and won when it mattered. End of story.
I'm just glad I can still say Houston has never won a World Series game.
when did the stros call luke scott up? he played today, and went 1 for 2. glad to see them pull him back up.
