news236/ CH leaves Astros for Angels? - DeWitt leads Houston into Game 2
[11.21.04]sun.[02:13 AM]
Thursday 11/18 at around 12:00 EST. CH Harris said that he is finished this season. Harris the current Astros owner wants to leave the team and purchase the Anaheim Angels and play for them next season. CH acting too soon? That sounds about right as he will not play in the remainder of the 2004 Postseason. He will leave the Houston Astros and become a free agent in the upcoming days. This comes to a shock as he couldn't wait until his team meet face to face with the Philadelphia Phillies. Whereever CH Harris goes to next season he will take Pat Ballard, Willie Kinns, Eric Sefcikz, Lamar Radford, Jimmy Fareplay, Josh Graham, J.C. Tewell, and possibly Rob Hordic and Tony Smallenberg. So everyone of these guys including CH will not play in Game 2, except for Rob Hordic who will finally get the start at 3rd after being taken outof the batting line-up and onlt getting to play defense when Hordic led the American League in Runs Batted In last year for the Oakland A's.
