I want some of those people (on this message board) to admit they were wrong about Bidge.Everyone keeps trying to bench him and he keeps producing.


Might want to add RyanED to that list too. During the lean times early in the season he was repeating everything that CrashTest said. Going on and on about how Burke was getting the shaft because Biggio was so selfish, and wouldn't give way to the "new" 2nd baseman. You know, the old "Astros are ruining Burke because they won't let him play 2nd", and the always entertaining "Burke should be playing 2nd so he can get used to playing with Everett at SS for the sake of the future double play combination". The other funny thing about those comments was the fact that only a few people ever called them on it. I do remember that Bob, and the other vocal few were adamant about the fact that the best players should be out there, and Biggio was by far the best option at 2nd.

Of course that was when times were bad, and the Astros were not winning much, but even through all of that Craig Biggio has played at a level that surpasses anything Burke could/can do.
