While looking at stats to see where the Astros have room for improvement in 2010, I noticed something odd. Kazuo Matsui has bizarre splits (insert tasteless anal fissure joke here). For his career, Kazuo has basically hit right-handed pitching as well as he has hit...

I think John Smoltz injuring himself while ironing a shirt he was wearing is less embarrassing than Kaz Matsui having to report this. Hemorrhoids! For once, I'm with Bill Belichick. Let's just list everyone on the injury report as "Probable" and move on.

Get ready for the second coming of Kaz Matsui. Kaz Matsui? Yeah, the guy the Mets blew $20 million for a 3 yr deal on but then eventually dumped because they were so sick of his futility. Knowing his production, even Richard Prior in Brewster's Millions would not have paid that...

In the second installment of this series, I'd like to talk about a few players who can play both second and third base, and who would likely move to third if the Astros acquired them. I do think a move like this might actually be the most likely one for the Astros to...

Even with $9 tickets, Arizona only managed a near-sellout. I don't know if that's a testament to Arizona having a terrible fan base, or if those who stayed away should be commended for avoiding what is sure to be the Worst NLCS Ever. Why would anyone want the Diamondbacks or...
