All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

James Casey is someone to keep an eye on too... he's currently #3 on Houstons depth chart... real solid player IMO. He came out early so he's still learning but he'd be a hell of an addition.
Side Note he's a second year guy and 25 due to a minor league deal with the White Sox.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Funny, Derek Fine, now on that team, was having a good game last evening.

I'll never understand why we cut him so early.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
Wasnt he cut during the peak of all of our injuries? I dont remember.

We released him February 16th, before the new coaching staff ever had a live look at him.

That's right but he missed all last season with an injury.

As I remember, though, he wasn't waived/injured, or for failing a physical.

I think he did fail his physical. I though I read that somewhere.
Could be. My memory, like a lot of things, ain't what it used to be.

How could he get cut by Arizona, when he's on Houston's team?
Sorry about that, I was thinking one thing and typing another.
The point is, he is an afterthought on that team they have Owen Daniels, Joel Dreessen, James Casey, Anthony Hill (PUP) and Garrett Graham besides him. Fine won't crack that rotation.
