I AGREE, LUMBERJACK (except that they're in 2nd)! They ARE going PLACES -
San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Cincinnati, Denver, Atlanta, Miami,
Philadelphia, New York, Montreal, Pittsburgh, Chicago, St. Louis...and
points in between. :-)
But,
THEY'RE 0-3 AT HOME!
I'm just not used to an overly enthusiastic Houston fan. I really shouldn't
discourage it, so HANG IN THERE, LUMBERJACK! (But, get ahold of that shift
key, will ya?)
ObBase: Apparently the new owner (Drayton McLain (sp?)) doesn't particularly
like excuses. An item in our paper (the Austin American-Statesman - "If you
read it here, it was somewhere else first") said that he wouldn't take
injuries as an excuse for losing because that possibility should have been
accounted for. Uh, oh. I don't want an owner that'll keep everybody on
edge - I'd never gotten that feeling about him, but who knows? Does
anybody down there in the Houston area have a feel for how meddling of an
owner McLain is going to be?
