TWEET OF THE DAY
ROSTER MOVES AND OTHER NEWSEvery time I come home from a season my #1 worry is what to do with the playoff beard. Shave, trim, or let it go a little longer.— Tyler White (@twhite409) September 24, 2015
In case you missed it yesterday, I posted my 2015 Bobby Awards for outstanding Astros minor league performances (and some other quirky awards). Even if you did read it yesterday, I added one (scroll to the very bottom of the post) that I had inadvertently forgotten about. (Thanks to Jason Schwartz for jogging my feeble memory!) And to Derek Fisher for forgetting this ... mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!
