Opening a can of Orange Whoopass...

Baseball is my favorite sport to watch. Yes, both for the game and the players. I know many people find baseball boring and slow, fine. I like football and hockey, too, but baseball - despite how messed up labor relations, ownership and the commissoner's office are, is still my favorite.
That being said, my favorite team, the Houston Astros (I'm such a homer) signed the hunky Jeff Kent (porn mustache and all!) The Astros owner is pretty budget conscious, so this came as a surpise.
It's still only a token, in my book. An improvement - unless you consider that Craig Biggio will be moving to the outfield; but not too much, and the bottom line didn't move much. We still need pitching, Biggio and Bagwell are getting older, and the Cardinals and Braves have been doing much more to secure their positions. This is the first year in the last several that I don't think we'll go to the playoffs.
2 months til Spring Training.
