i told you this 2 days ago, dummy
Hate to break it to you, people don't listen to youi told you this 2 days ago, dummy
You're obviously not an Astros fan. Biggio has been a credit to the Stros and the league for 2 decades, and he's earned the right to chase 3,000. He's a class act and a great member of the Houston community. He's still not an embarassment and he'll receive cheers all the way to 3,000.AWESOME.225 OBP0 walks through 9 gamesPERFECT leadoff hitter. Thank God he's in there everyday to get his 3000 hits
Never said he wasn't a great member of the community.He's been a huge credit to the Stros, and all those WS Championships they've amassed, no doubt.He was a great player for the first 12 years or so of his career. To say he is not an embarassment is flat out homerism. Worst everyday lead off hitter in the game, fact. Butcher in the field, fact. Selfish, stat chasing player that is hurting his club which has better and younger options, facts.I'm rooting for him to get to 3,000, so he'll get his old, worn out ### off the field and perhaps this team can win some games.
So in your book, Ted Williams wasn't a credit to the Red Sox since he never won a WS? Idiot.Hit .280/.345/.439 All Star break last year, fact. Had a horrible last 2 months, fact. Season is 2 weeks old, fact. He's not quite a butcher like Kent, but he's no longer good. I guess by a better and younger option you mean Burke. That was true in the second half of the season, not the first half. This is the same team that stuck by Bagwell when he fell off the table for several years, up to this point Biggio has only fallen off the table for 2.5 months, and it may only be a slump to start this season.
Idiot is not being excellent to one another, tsk tsk.You give me pre-all star stats last year. Nice. Why don't you give out post all star stats? Did I miss the memo where the Astros only have to play 81 this year? Instead, why don't you post his ROAD stats from last year. Last I checked, Astros play half their games on the road and Biggio insists on playing until he gets his precious 3000.A better option would be anyone quite frankly. I guess shipping Pence back to the minors to hold a spot for Biggio was in the Astros best interest. Having Loretta ride the bench, or Burke playing an unnatural position for him is a MUCH better option.Another nice hit for Biggio yesterday. OPB dropped yet again. In fact, his last at bat was the epitome of why Biggio is HURTING this team. Gordon can't throw a strike for the life of him. Biggio comes up and gets ahead of the count 2-1. And what does this hall of famer do with the team down by a few runs? He swings and misses at ball 3 around his eyes
And then he grounds into the game ending double play. Outstanding qualities by the lead off hitter.I wouldn't have a problem with Biggio getting to 3000 if a) he accepted the #7 spot in the lineup where he rightfully deserves to be or b) accepts a part time assignment as he is obviously not a very good player any longer. Feel free to try to counter any of my points. I'll wait 
Pence had ZERO chance to make the bigs out of spring training (last I checked he was hitting about .160 at Round Rock). The Astros always are slow to promote players to the big leagues. As for him batting 7, then you have what, Burke, Ensberg, Berkman, Lee, Scott/Lane, Everett, Biggio, Ausmus? Burke doesn't exactly get on base well himself and having Scott/Lane in the 2 or 5 hole is not ideal, but they're the only option if you put Biggio at the bottom. I guess you could move Everett up, but he's a historic black hole. Once he gets to 3000 he will be a part time player, but as of right now two weeks is too short a stretch to definitively say he's struggling. Or are you going to call for Berkman's head too?guru_007 said:Idiot is not being excellent to one another, tsk tsk.You give me pre-all star stats last year. Nice.

Then he has the HBP record as well looming...
Thats because everyone is so focused on Lord Helmet breaking the HR record.' said:
Well of course everyone should be watching Bonds march towards the HR record...But you would think that there would be at least some mention of Biggio...2-6 against the Angels on the 19th...2992
Yeah it amazes me as well that this isn't the second lead story on SportsCenter every night...
