Roy Oswalt Traded

Roy on a horseIn a move that surprises no one except maybe Astros Fans hiding in a cave for the last three months, the Houston Astros traded away one time ACE Roy Oswalt to the Philadelphia Phillies for much more than a horse or a bulldozer. Indeed what Houston got back in return was J.A. Happ, a tall left handed pitcher who has basically been a promising ready for the majors #2 or #3 starter. Haap experienced elbow problems this year setting him back several months, however, Astro fans are used to this sort of thing (*cough* Paulino *cough* Norris *cough*), so no worries.

The (Brotherly) Love Boat: Astros @ Phillies Series Preview

When it first debuted, I was a huge fan of the show 30 Rock. Great cast, great writing, great chemistry between the leads. Somewhere along the line, it started to get a bit lazy, though.
