  1. I think the best way to decide this is to imagine that the game is on the line, there are two outs, and your last out is up to bat. Forget batting avgs. and HRs, who do you want to bat in that situation? I want Pujols!!

    I really don't have a problem with a player complaining when he has a legitimate shot at the MVP, however I don't think it should matter whether you're on a playoff team or not. Pujols is a class act and this is the first time I have ever heard of him being considered classless. He has always won with grace and lost with dignity. I wish Pujols was on my Astros!!!

  2. Feris Patio which brings me to my next point. I see you in MC kinda proud to have players that should be at PAM. If I were Grogan's mom and or Roy's parents' date=' I'd take them where the coach will help them get to the next level. But again that's just me....[/quote']

    Just what the hell does that mean????? Would you do us all a favor and quit looking through those colored glasses you wear for one minute??? Exactly what does this have to do with Mosley vs. Charles?

  3. I think this is a good signing since Clemens said he would not play for the Astros until they signed someone to bat cleanup. Berkman was getting too many intentional walks since pitchers didn't fear the hitter behind him, especially Ensberg. Berkman is their best hitter and needs to see some pitches. Lee should give him that opportunity.

    Hopefully Clemens will agree and play one more year.

  4. Thanks man. I'm really not trying to PO anybody, just playing devil's advocate. I have qustioned our play calling from time to time, and I have seen it on other teams as well. Teams can be successful doing a certain thing all the way down the field. Then when in the red zone, all of a sudden change their strategy. I'm a firm believer in the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" type mentality. If your spread is successful for 99 yards and 30", then it seems it should work for 6".

    If he ran the keeper from the shotgun, then that is a QB draw, which is usually very effective because the safeties can't bunch the LOS due to coverage. It also give your QB a chance to find a hole.

    I'll let this go because I know this kind of loss is hard to take. I just hate to see it all put on one coach, player, or play.

  5. 6 inches from the goal line!!!!!! Come on Baddog.

    Hey, I'm trying. I have seen lots, and I mean lots of QB keepers come up short or even lose yardage. The snap is often mishandled on a quick snap play like the keeper. Had he tried the keeper and failed, then he would be questioned for not going from the spread. I still say he went with what got him there. I truly don't think he coached to lose that game.

    One of my favorite plays close to the goal line (inside the 10) is to roll the QB outside with the option to pass or run it in himself. It's unbelievable how many times the TE or RB out of the backfield can be open on this play. Even Drew Bledsoe (concrete feet) has scored on this play by taking it in himself.

  6. Some of you WOS people might tell me to mind my own, but isn't that the same OC that had you undefeated 'till the Giddings game? When you have athletic QBs and RBs like WOS has year after year, I see no problem with the spread on the goal line. Please tell me the advantage of being under center as opposed to the spread, except for a QB keeper, which is absolutely not a guarantee either. He went with what got him there. Just my humble opinion....that and .50 cents might get you a cup of coffee.
