You sound like a fun person to hang out with.

I am. We should hang. I play a bitchin' rendition of "The Saints Come Marching In" on my harmonica and ukulele.

And, to your point -- yeah, my reaction was a bit severe. I just don't like the "look how wrong they were" type of threads. Especially since we're talking about a guy who has been with the MLB club for only a month.

I'm thinking us faithful Astros fans were thinking very similar thoughts the we currently have of Springer for a certain JR Towles around mid-September of 2007? How far off were we of his future?
