Am I the only one...

that doesn't understand why every game when the Astros are ahead, the great manager Cecil Cooper pulls Carlos Lee for Jason Michaels. This would be okay if Michaels was able to rake like Lee can at anytime, but all I've seen from him are errors in the field, losing the ball in the lights, and strikeouts or hit into rally killing double plays. This 'defensive upgrade' hasn't worked out as well as planned and has bit the Astros in the butt over and over again. When is Coop' going to see this and stop pulling one of the better hitters in the 7th or later innings?

Head scratcher...

Is it just me or does it feel that the Texans are needing just one more piece of the puzzle to contend for a championship this coming season? Mainly a WR to go with Andre Johnson.

I know they still have Owen Daniels and Jones and Walters are great compliments, but I think that Schaub needs someone to take the pressure off of AJ so that he can do more. What do ya'll think ?

What do you see in the Crystal Ball?

Can you see Houston trading down and taking a LB or a WR late in 1st round? I think that they need a bigger threat across from A.J. next year to reach the playoffs. Someone like Harvin or Bey late in the round or even reaching with Nicks if that late in the round.

My thinking is that they will take a big bodied back to tandem with Slaton in the 3rd or 4th down. Someone like James Davis or Shonn Greene would fit well in a 2 back system.
