Wagner rips teammates for dodging media


Recommended Posts

How he's going about it is wrong but he does have a valid point. Why would the media need to ask a closer who didn't even participate in the game questions about the game? The answer is simple, cause they know Wagner's history of being a big mouth and know they'll get soundbites just like the ones they got.

my thoughts exactly... which is a major part of why he didn't stay in houston

I don't recall Wagner doing anything like he's done in NY & Philly when he was here in Houston. The main reason they got rid of Wagner was because he was 32 and making 8 mil a yr.....plus they had Dotel waiting in the wings....

I'd like to see the article where Wagner ripped the Astros like he's done the Phillies and Mets.....

It wasn't anything even close to that...It was about him being unhappy with the direction of the club and being vocal about it.

He definitely came out and questioned ownership and their willingness to open up the checkbook and get the club over the hump.  that didn't sit well with Uncle Drayton who shipped BW off to Philly to make room for the signing of Pettite.  To this day Wagner will admit to anyone that asks that he burned some bridges in Houston and got himself traded for his big mouth.

    • What the writer stated wrt crossover votes in the primary/runoff: "Covey and his supporters Paxton and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Phelan only won because Democrats crossed over to vote in the Republican Primary for him. Paxton said Covey’s campaign identified “at least” 1,442 Democrats who voted early in Jefferson County in the primary runoff. Texas does not have party registration, but a voter’s primary voting history is public. The Covey campaign has not released its methodology behind its claim, but  This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up  by The Texan news website found that 9% of Republican voters in the March District 21 primary had voted in one of the previous four Democratic primaries. However, only 5% of that group had voted in all four previous Democratic primaries. What Phelan’s opponents did not mention is historically Democratic Jefferson County is undergoing a political transition towards the Republican party — the county judge switched his affiliation to the GOP in 2017 — so many residents have a mixed primary voting history. And Phelan’s allies in the House dismissed the idea that liberals swung the election. "I knocked on doors, hundreds and hundreds of doors, made calls for Dade,” Republican Rep. Jeff Leach, R-Plano, said on Mark Davis’ radio program Wednesday. “I did not speak to a single Democrat down here in HD21. Not a single one." "
