Speaking of hating, I had a Ranger buddy tell me yesterday that the Astros aren't hated by baseball fans.

Coming back to this, I would recommend folks listen to the interview and hear the context in which the comment was made. It was not nearly as definitive as Chodeler makes it out to be. The host was pressing Dana on which area he would address if he could only choose one, and after a lot of hemming and hawing, he begrudgingly said starter.texasaggie2015 said:On his weekly appearance on @SportsTalk790, Astros general manager Dana Brown said his number one priority at the trade deadline is now a starting pitcher.

I fully expect the Astros trade deadline to be more James Click-y than Jeff Luhnow-y.

Julio is super likeable, so I can see that. Especially after his rookie year and the HR derby performance in LA.cc10106 said:

Aside from their manager, they don't have a whole lot of DBs.
Julio is cool. They have seemed to slow their roll this year some with being instigators, and they haven't thrown at any Astros' heads this year either, to some fans' disappointment. I figured Chas may have stirred some crap up with them after the incident last week.Beat40 said:Julio is super likeable, so I can see that.

Sure. My point was the HR derby performance in one of the biggest cities in the USA with the dude's energy and attitude go a long way for people's views of teams. People are easily influenced, and when you rarely hear about a team outside of performances like that, easy for me to see why people would say they view the Mariners favorably.texasaggie2015 said:Also a lot of folks don't stay up to watch them play on the west coastBeat40 said:Julio is super likeable, so I can see that.

I'm a big fan of Luis Castillo
Seems like a real laid back kinda dude who always has a smile on his face and just goes about his business. Comes off as a good people.
