Justice's article about McLane and Wade...

Some things I found interesting:

Wade admitted that he has presented McLane with moves which McLane rejected. It would be intriguing to know what those were.

Bobby Heck said he and Wade presented McLane with a well thought out plan for re-supplying the farm while also keeping the Astros major league team competitive. He implies that this is how you convince McLane to spend money on the draft.

Cooper on the rotation: “We’ll go with match ups or something. I don’t know.”

That certainly encourages me about the way the rotation will be handled in the future.

Yeah

I pretty horrified by his inability to make a decision. This will just lead to awkward bullpen appearance, inconsistent routines between starts, and, therefore, terribile pitching performances a la Russ Ortiz in April.

A good friend of mine used to say, "This is a very simple game. You throw the ball, you catch the ball, you hit the ball. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains." Think about that for a while.

  1. Richard Justice claims the following:
Unlike some of you, I never stopped believing in this baseball team. I believed in the talent. I believed in the chemistry. I believed in the manager. Remember the success I predicted back in spring training?

I’m too lazy too lazy to look this up, but I know he’s called out Coop, Ortiz, and Hampton.


I think it’s pretty clear he’s just being facetious.
