Of course the opposite also is true that if a team is in the lower quadrant of the salary scale, it might not mean the team will be a doormat to the rest of the league. But it certainly has been true for the past three years with our beloved Houston Astros. Houston’s problem of not being very competitive has several additional factors hurting its case...
Bridge City Baseball at its best At the beginning of this season, unlike in years past, the Bridge City Cardinals were not considered the team to beat in 21-3A due to the departure of several key factors from last years team.

Big redfish will readily inhale a spinnerbait. Any tackle geek knows they are the next great weapon in the angling arsenal, saltwater spinnerbaits have come to the coast and the redfish have a new enemy. They come in array of different colors and each one does a little something different that sets it apart from the competition.
