At first glance, I thought this was Bush 43.

Maybe having pitchers and catchers reporting on V-day is a concerted effort by the front office to cut down on mid-season paternity leaves.
I like it.
I like it.

I like it.
I'm not sure you know how all of this works.

This guy belongs on Jim Deshaies' All-Astros dessert team:
He was traded to Toronto for Ashby.
Career ended when he was arrested for kidnapping and robbing his cousin Peter Lemongello who was a PBA bowler.
he was also known for making a certain gesture at the home plate umpire one day
And here I just thought he had a cool namejja79 said:Mr.Ackar07 said:

From the first paragraph of his Wikipedia page
Quote:
His last name is pronounced "le-MAHNJ-ul-oh", not "Lemon Jello".
A little more gold from his Wikipedia page
Quote:
After spending three seasons with Houston, where he compiled a 2129 record, Lemongello was traded to the Toronto Blue Jays, asking if Canadians "spoke American."

That's big. Kid has the potential to be a cy young contender for the next several years.
Had to look that up. It also said he threw a baseball at his manager when he came to take him out of a game and, upon being told he was being sent down, there and ash tray at the GM's head.

That is correct. Lemongello's 1st year was Larry Dierker's last year. Think about this. He was in his 13th year and 29 years old.
I sure hope none of you decide to start our 2017 season thread before ST workouts even begin.
It shouldn't be started until the day after spring training ends.
Buddy of mine hung out with Tyler White nearly all day a few days ago. Dude is a great guy from what I gathered.
They got to know each other well enough that they plan on playing golf next offseason and I plan on joining.
He said that for his own sake, he was hoping the CBA would expand the roster to 27 like it was discussed, but ultimately was not changed. He's right on the cusp.
Honestly, I think he will make the opening day roster as a bat that can play vs lefties when McCann and Reddick need to sit.

Does Reed have a spot on this team?
I don't think he does with the influx of lefty bats.
My plan would be to leave him in AAA and hope he just flat rakes, then he becomes a decent trade chip again.

He should have had a spot on another team while his stock was high. Oh well. Hindsight is 20/20astros4545 said:
