Quote of the Day
"Today is a perfect example oh why we are in last place. We can't hit. We can't pitch. Hell, we can't even take a leak without making three errors. People think I am pretty even keeled, easy going guy, but I will tell you here and now - if these men don't change their attitudes, I'll fire the entire bunch of them." - Houston manager Bill Virdon.

He is expected to miss about 2 weeks and is placed on the 15-day disabled list. 2B Pat Scanlon (.297, 2 HR, 6 RBI) has been recalled from Double A Quebec.

He is expected to miss about 3 weeks and is placed on the 15-day disabled list. 2B Kurt Bevacqua (.148, 27 AB - AAA) has been recalled from Triple A Spokane. Jim Gantner will assume the majority of the starting time at 3B. Bevacqua will back him up. |
