Hard to gauge exactly how many people are up in arms over Coach Fran still quiding the Aggies football program to nowhere. Houstonian Tom King (Aggie class of '85) wants to merely present the facts and encougage fans to... "In a courteous, professional and factual manner .. let Texas A&M Athletic Directory Billy Byrnes know that if he doesn't solve the problem ... then he is part of the problem." That's what he wrote on his recently launched website www.aggiecoach.com which exists to help oust Coach Fran. Tom will join us in studio tonight in the 7 o'clock hour on SportsRadio 610.

Astros are now 12-15 under Cooper since he took over. They've won 2 in a row and must win the final 4 to get Cecil over .500 for his 31 game run. It hardly matters since he'll be back on a 2 or 3 year deal anyway. Dennis Sarfate has been a pretty interesting acquisition by interim GM Tal Smith. Pretty good in 5 appearances - 7 innings, 2 hits, 1 walk, 11 strikeouts. He pops 98 on the gun regularly.

TBS stuck it to longtime Braves voice Skip Caray by naming 3 other play-by-play guys for their first year of national television coverage of the major league baseball playoffs. I could understand if brass wanted to pick voices not associated with the Braves so they could brand this "new product" in a bit different way - as they suggest in their release. But when I see Braves color analyst Joe Simpson on one of the crews - that ain't it. They did exactly what Skip claims the did - they punched him in the stomach. He gets off a pretty accurate blast.
"I feel like I can do a better job than a tennis announcer or a football-basketball announcer," Skip Caray said. "I'm not knocking Ted Robinson and Dick Stockton, but point of fact is they don't do baseball anymore and I'm there every day."Hope he enjoys doing braves games next year.

The Milwaukee Brewers got what they deserved last night. Then today they got some more from MLB with their manager and a pitcher getting suspended. In a game they had to win last night, manager Ned Yost decided it was more important to have his team act tough (and stupid) by throwing at Albert Pujols on purpose in the 8th inning of a 3-2 game. Yost brought in hard-throwing right hander Seth McClung for one pitch. A 94 mph fastball that blasted Pujols in the back.
The background is this. The day before Brewers P Jeff Suppan, who just last year won NLCS MVP honors for the Cardinals in helping them win a World Series title, threw a pitch that rose in high and tight on Pujols. It drew the ire of the always irascible Tony LaRussa. Earlier in the game yesterday, Cards starter Brad Thompson hit Prince Fielder with a inside fastball. So this was Yost's idea for payback. Yost is an idiot. For the last time, IT'S ABOUT WINNING YOU MORON!!!!. It's 3-2 and nobody is on with 1 out in the 8th inning. He obviously called for the HBP on Pujols and it led to a 4-run inning and another loss for the Brewers, who would've drawn within 1 game of the Cubs with 4 games left to play for the NL central division title. WHAT A FOOL!!! Take care of that bogus crap some other time, dummy. Try to win - you're the manager, put the team in position to win.
