NYCU Lane?
« on: April 01, 2007, 02:13:33 pm »
Is this Lane story an April Fool's joke?  None of the links work, Astros.com has nothing, nor ESPN.com or chron.com...
"Ground ball right side, they're not gonna be able to turn two OR ARE THEY, THROW, IS IN TIME!!! WHAT AN UNBELIEVABLE TURN BY BRUNTLETT AND EVERETT, AND THEY CUT DOWN MABRY TO END THE GAME, AND THE ASTROS LEAD THIS NATIONAL LEAGUE CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES THREE GAMES TO ONE!!!!!"

I was thinking that it was kinda suspicious that none of these links work but I hadn't thought of the April fools thing. I think you are on to something. Pravata must be having us on.

....now that you think of it.....a Bay Area rag and a KC paper covering a Houston/Los Angeles swap is kinda weird......and the pitcher we are allegedly gaining is friggin' terrible. I guess an Oswalt trade for 2 low A prospects and a hotdog vendor from the Rays would have been too obvious.

Alright, alright, alright, ya'll used to be easier to fool.  Lane is still the backup outfielder, Wandy is still the only left handed starter and Pence is still in Round Rock. Happy?  In my defense, had the Dodgers not traded Dessens to the Brewers for Grady Clark on Monday, this prank would have been more creditable.
