I got scalded by the wife for using the term "bush league" in front of the kids. I asked her why, and she said the term's origin comes from a reference to the female anatomy.
The way I look at it is the Astros paid bigtime for production at first base. Now they are getting it somewhat, so who gives a crap who the actual player is. Let Singleton cook
Singleton is having a solid season and the team has been great with him as the starter. He plays solid defense and can draw some walks and is always a homerun threat. So yes, it sucks that old man winter (who can do none of that anymore) is going to derail him yet again. I don't understand how anyone in the organization thinks we are a better team with Abreu, nor how they think a stint in Florida will knock 5 years off his life and he'll be productive again. This is the same organization who sent Brantley off on an iceberg because they thought he couldn't hit anymore. Its baffling.
Yep. We got worked by the 2 worst teams in the AL last season, Oakland and KC. We also had a losing record at home. So we should consider being gruntled with a 4 game sweep of Oakland at Minute Maid.
Abreu being sent to Palm Beach is a win-win. We'll put a better 1B on the field and there's the small chance Abreu figures something out an gets his shit together. If not then bye Felicia.
If Dusty was still here, his ass would be starting at 1B until infinity.
