I saw he went off today. Good for him. He has sucked for us this year, and all of last year. Hopefully he can find himself continue to play professional baseball...

This still cracks me up

Ensberg was just one of many inconsistent Astros hitters. Im not sure why we picked him out of the bunch to get rid of.

I believe Cammi went on to win the MVP that year and had about 50hrs, not normal in a stros uniform for him...

I'm happy for Ensberg. He's a good guy, he just wasnt cutting it here. I'd still rather see Lamb in the lineup.

Ensburg is a cake and needed to go. Batting .220 is unacceptable. Now we need to get rid of all the other little fairy *** ******* on the team. (Adam Everett, Chris Burke, Woody Williams, Jason Jennings, BRAD AUSMUS!!) I dont care if we trade them all for one half *** position player and bring up a bunch of minor leauge players, I am sick of seeing their gay little faces on my TV doing nothing but embarrasing the Astros and the city of Houston.

Lamb hit a grandslam last night, so screw Ensberg. Sometime between a few days ago and yesterday, someone must have got the message to "swing at strikes" across to Margo. Anyone who watches 3 straight strikes whiz by him (on multiple occasions) can move on somewhere else. JMO.

Pence, Berkman, Lee, Loretta, Lamb, and Oswalt are the only Astros I would care if we lost. Wandy has had moments this year, but is still inconsistant. We need a right feilder, a SS, a catcher, and a few pitchers. I almost think Lidge is too much of a risk, I mean look at last night, he is simply prone to giving up home runs. It's not like we need all stars at all these spots, just solid players. getting the pitchers we need is gonna be the toughest part.

Can't say I was. I was at BW3 and then at Marble Slab last night, but my wife and I were in the Accord.
