Hopefully they pick up their first win today vs. Cincy with Myers going to the hill and facing Lecure.

I am just trying to get rid of Carlos Lee. Today in the first spring training game his first at-bat he had 2 on and 1 out: he grounded into a double play. I know it's early REALLY early but looks like we will see the same sort of things from Carlos.

I know what you mean maybe that's a direct correlation to our slow starts.

[Hidden Content] Good win for Gordon, was really hoping Kyle Busch would pull it off.

I would like to see the Astros trade Carlos for Young. A one for one deal and then Texas has their DH and we have a 2B and move Bill Hall to LF. Wishful thinking!

I agree with both of you, Wallace is going to be the man at first base. Looks like Bullpen by committee but it seems the bullpen by committee has worked for clubs like the Rays and other teams like that. The key will be for the bats to get going at the start. I am worried about going to Philly though to face the gauntlet of Halladay, Oswalt, Lee, or Hamels (any combo of the 3 is deadly). Fast start is the key though. Hopefully some of the new guys (Barmes and Hall) will play well from the get go.

Coach Joubert-Kountze

Brock can't return to the WWE because he is under contract with UFC. Dana has said multiple times that he won't let Brock even make a guest appearance at Wrestlemania. So for now Lesnar is under contract with the UFC. What I want to know is since Brock Lesnar is coaching TUF, will this make him a better all around MMA fighter? This may give him the experience he needs to get better in the octagon.

What I don't understand is why the UFC is doing middleweights in this TUF? Lesnar and Dos Santos are both heavy weights so shouldn't they be coaching heavy weights? Regardless I am stoked for this season could be better than the last and I am sure White had to do a lot of provoking to get Brock to leave his home for an extended period of time to coach in Vegas.

I read an article yesterday with Dana saying "Brock is under contract with the UFC and there is no way that he would let him fake wrestle." Dana White's still trying to buck the naysayers that say the UFC is fake.

I have heard a rumor that Lesnar is going back to the WWE.

The Hardin score from last night is: Hardin- 50 Buna- 35 Any word on the score from EC vs. Anahuac?

Houston would be a good place for Velasquez v. Dos Santos.

I'm looking to UFC 124 cause of GSP v. Koscheck. I am excited to see GSP back in the cage he is one of my favorite fighters and I hope he knocks out Koscheck after this season of the Ultimate Fighter. That being said, UFC 125 looks like an AWESOME card. I'm excited to see Aldo's UFC debut, that guy is a fighter. Leben is crazy he took a fight against Akiyama at UFC 116 after just two weeks off.

It seems like Dana White has to make tough decisions on where to have the fights, because there are so many people and places who want the UFC to come to their city.
