I havent heard anything about that. Where did you hear/see that?

My little brother told me he had heard it on ESPN.

And, coinsidently, a person on my baseball team mentioned it.

I couldnt find anything on ESPN.com or the expos website, although I didnt look too long.

Mouse, it's a POSSIBILITY that they could move there.

Anyways, the Stros got a helluva deal because the Dotel blows x2, plus Beltran is going to be awesome, but they are giving up Buck (minor leaguer, probably was going to start at catcher for Astros next year :/ ).

I hope Dotel can do better, but he has done pretty badly this year in Houston.

14 saves in 17 attempts is a hell of a lot better than what the A's have been getting. Obviously he's not having a great year or the Astros wouldn't have traded him, but believe me, if you thought he was bad than it's a good thing you don't have to watch the A's bullpen. Ugly.

Dotel is a hell of a player, but he is just struggling. He can throw a pretty good fastball.

all players go through slumps, dotel really is a good player. while im sad that the astros gave him up i think beltran will be a good edition to the houston lineup. i also heard somewhere that the astros were going to trade jeff bagwell, which would be a shame. they have a pretty good team right now, and theyre getting a good deal of hits they just have a hard time keeping the opponent scoreless when clemens isnt pitching. i cant wait for pettitte to come back.

I also heard somewhere that the astros were going to trade jeff bagwell, which would be a shame.

Even though he has been struggling lately, I highly doubt that "rumor".

I seriously doubt that rumor is true too. I would hate to see him go.

How about Seatle and Texas, 18 innings. One heck of a game. I was out when the game started, came back for the 10th, got to watch a whole nother game, lol.

And btw--Who's first in the AL West? Who? Texas? Yep, thats right....

In case you wanted to know the specifics of the Dotel/Beltran/Five Young Guys deal:

The Rangers beat the Astros tonight, but Beltran did pretty good. Did Dotel pitch any today?

Tonight Manny Ramirez hit two doubles, one home run, and was robbed of a home run when a Phillie guy took it out of the bullpen, but the real story was the fine diving/rolling catch Manny made in left field. It was good because usually he barely makes a brisk jog to a fly ball, never mind a diving play. The Sox kicked ass, 12-1. Too bad I went to yesterday's game.

The Rangers beat the Astros tonight, but Beltran did pretty good. Did Dotel pitch any today?

The game's still on but seeing how Jason Schmidt is pitching for the Giants and Barry Zito gave up five runs in the first, I don't think there'll be a save situation today.

Oh and speaking of the Giants, I know you were all watching the NBA Draft last night, but about the same time the first round was winding up there was a bench clearing showdown between Michael Tucker and Eric Gagne. Both got tossed. Fun times.

The Rangers beat the Astros tonight, but Beltran did pretty good.

Can I get an affimation on this:

After then end of this(2004) season, the Expos are moving to Northern Virginia

I saw that it is between there and Washington D.C.. Most likely it will be D.C.

Astros lost. Dotel blew a save, Oakland wins.

11 -3 Yanks...woohoo!

11-3 Yanks...fuckshit.

7-5 Cubs....

3-0 pirates over cards... wtf.

Thats one score I do like. My Astros need to catch up, although losing to the Cubs isn't going to help their situation.
