A note on Ed Wade's payroll comments

Ed Wade said he was basically done tinkering with the Astros' roster, which looks like Easy Eddie was playing with the Dynasty mode on MLB02, with the addition of Aaron Boone, Mike Hampton and Russ Ortiz (but let's face it, if even one of these guys returns to the form of days of yore, this season might be alright).

By keeping the payroll at $107 million - $2 million higher than Run-DMc's number at that breakfast in Prattville, Alabama last week - that effectively means the Astros will not be taking a run at Pettitte, Sheets, or anybody else.

This is your team. How do you feel?
