Astros become Wolf's Pack

Found July 22, 2008 on I Remember Dome-Dogs:
PLAYERS: Randy Wolf,  Roy Oswalt
TEAMS: Houston Astros,  San Diego Padres

Sheer idiocy, we thought so at first, but after a minutia of consideration before rushing to publish, the boy at Dome-Dogs give the Randy Wolf deal their seal of approval. However, we have now changed our tune, Ed Wade, Drayton McLane, and the entire Astros organization are just doomed to be idiotic.

Houston Trades For Wolf

Via Vegas Watch  |  July 22, 2008
The Astros acquired Randy Wolf on Tuesday, sending AAA righty Chad Reineke to San Diego. This has inspired headlines, from writers I enjoy and read every day, such as "Astros' pursuit of Wolf baffling" and "Ed Wade Loses His Mind, Trades For Randy Wolf".Look, I get that Ed Wade isn't the best GM in the league. He has made some questionable moves, and...

Unfounded optimism?

Via I Remember Dome-Dogs  |  July 21, 2008
The Astros had some high hopes going into this season and have vastly underperformed. While we held high hopes for the team, a look at their payroll allocations should have had us all writing them off from the start.

John Kerry Ain't Got Nothin' On Richard Justice - Why Sports Writers Matter

Via I Remember Dome-Dogs  |  July 24, 2008
The Astros are in the basement of the NL Central with little of no hope for the next few years of being anywhere else. While we can certainly ridicule Ed Wade and Drayton McLane, perhaps we should point the finger at the beat writers who have defended them and sold their lies.

Cubs 2nd Half - The Lump has Shown Up

Via The BearDown  |  July 21, 2008
All of you Cubbie fans out there know what I'm talking about. The lump that comes into the back of your throat when you start to worry about the season at hand getting away.....Here's the thing. The lump came late in those seasons because leading up to it they were in a battle, they were the ones hunting, not those being hunted. Well the lump has come already this season...

Just A Regular Snarky Sports Related Post That Doesn’t Take A Stand Against Crackheads, Religious Nutjobs Or Political Ads

Via Tirico Suave  |  July 22, 2008
Does anyone know what the solution is for turning around a team that is seven games under .500 and 12 games out of first place? Those of you who said Randy Wolf will receive a Bible from Josh Hamilton.

I will remember this for a long time.

Via Crazy for Baseball  |  July 21, 2008
My BBF (best baseball friend) Max uttered those words to me after I took him with me to Craig Biggio's final game in an Astros' uniform. It was indeed a very moving and memorable day.That sentiment is apt for my recent journey to NYC. Really, I do not think I could imagine a more perfect vacation. As I have begun describing it to friends and family, a recurring comment from...
