Players I do not want to see on next years team............

[nonbandwagoneer]

New to the board but not to the 'stros.....been a fan a long time.

This is my list:

Brad Ausmus - Defense doesn't outweigh poor offense anymore
Biggio - At least not in a starting role....love his leadership and work ethic but not a full timer anymore
Rick White - Garbage........never was anything else.
Woody Williams - Waved bye bye to prime long time ago.
Chad Qualls - Never going to be anything more than he is now.....inconsistent.
O. Palmeiro - Still a serviceable bench player but give a young guy a shot at the roster.
Trevor Miller - Isn't his job to get out lefties?  When was the last time he did that?
Jason Lane - think he is already gone but don't even think about bringing him back.   
Munson - Exact opposite of Ausmus.
Mo Ensberg - The mojo is gone and apparently it ain't coming back.

I guess that is my list.  Nothing new here just figured I would start off with a post about our sh@tty players.  If you want to add to it feel free.

[Taras Bulba]

Rick White just called to ask if you would like to crawl up his ass.

Fuck Rick and every unholy thing living in that goatee of his.

Wow. Nice knowin ya.

[nonbandwagoneer]

Geez....y'all are some cynical fucks.

What the hell do you talk about if it isn't the shitty team?
Swap recipes?

You don't know anything. 

Lane is already gone. 

Qualls is better than he is pitching. 

Who ever is pitching for the Astros next season is in for a rude awakening because I don't think Bradley is coming back.

I don't think Biggio is going to come back.

I can't believe your list doesn't say anything about Burke and Everett.

I am so sick of people trying to blame this crap on Ausmus.  He is not the freaking problem.

Last time I looked that place could you a washing.....first New Orleans and now your turn.

Are you related to Porter Wagoneer?

i  have seen astros pitchers "fire" the cathers they had to get ausmus behind them he can call one heck of a game

Well, I did say Lane was gone.

Everett is the best defensive shortstop in the league......I can find a spot for that on my roster anyday.
Burke is unproven but deserves a shot.  Lane got his shot....he blew it so see ya later.
You can't have Everett, Ausmus and then the pitcher in a lineup and expect to get any production.
One has to go so keep the young guy.

[catAstrofy]

This smells like the work of Sampson's #1 fan.

trolling in some dangerous waters here.  looks like spack is already on the prowl and not showing much patience this day.

[stubbyc]

I'll bet. The pitching staff has been excellent to date.

[tophfar]

I'll bet. The pitching staff has been excellent to date.

they have?  seems to me, they've been about as inconsistent as everyone else.

im not sure to which pitcher you are describing as "excellent" to date.

Seriously, you are not paying attention.

Did you know that Ausmus has the 6th best BA for the team?  Guess who has the 5th?  Yep, Palmeiro.  Go figure that out.

I'm surprised you know that Everett can catch a ball put into play. 

I hate stupid people.

[BudGirl]

Bradley doesn't throw the ball, just catches it.

[MusicMan]

Go to hell.  Seriously.

Your original post was just inane, but this pretty well shows that you haven't the slightest fucking clue in life, much less baseball.

[stubbyc]

I think you need to adjust your sarcasm meter.

[stubbyc]

Right, but how much credit would you be giving him if the pitching staff was among the leagues best?

[BudGirl]

Right, but how much credit would you be giving him if the pitching staff was among the leagues best?

Can you imagine how bad the staff would be without him?

[Froback]

The Astros have been seriously spoiled with some great leaders over the last 20 years in Biggio, Bagwell and Ausmus...  Other than things I have been hearing about Everett, I am not sure who else will help fill that void... When all those players are gone.

And given the team is not looking very positive right now, leadership is typcially what you need to keep focused on the important things at times like this.

[stubbyc]

Nope. Seems to me that just about everyone on the staff is under-performing what you would expect of them. Sampson is the only one exceeding expectations.

[nonbandwagoneer]

Go to hell.  Seriously.

Well, for a group that is instant asshole to the new guy.  Sure are sensitive.

You haven't seen 'instant asshole.' This is polite.

I've heard one theory that Biggio and Ausmus were asked to step back in the leadership role and let the young guys take over.  I don't like that if true.  I also don't know if it is true.

[MusicMan]

Sure are sensitive.

Wow, lots of people died and thousands were left homeless! Hoo, hoo, ha, ha, what a laugh a minute!

Fuck off.

[Lurch]

Hmm.  I'm going to guess this thread will get real ugly in 37 minutes.  Where's our resident bookie?

[nonbandwagoneer]

Fuck off.

I was one of them. Were you?  So, yeah it gives me the right to fucking laugh at it.
What else should I do cry and pout and sit in my FEMA trailer waiting for someone to rescue me.

Get over yourself.

[catAstrofy]

Oh. My. God.

What the fuck is that thing?
