Who else will join me in saying THANK YOU to Brandon Backe?

Co-sign.

Albert is a stone cold Astros killer almost as much so as Edmonds was. Backe is an idiot for giving any additional motivation to baseball's best hitter.

But what Albert really needs is for Ankiel to keep hitting. With a power hitting lefty behind him, Albert could put up some truly awesome numbers.

My fantasy team is thanking him for sure! But is that really what Albert needs...someone to motivate him? If it is then he is not nearly the player that I have always respected him for being, I think he needs to thank that horrible staff that Houston has for serving up some meatballs!

I absolutly thank him for yesterday and he gave the cubs a win at wrigley field Sunday!
