Didn't he just retire like a year or two ago from the NY Yankees and then the Rockets asked him to come back? WTF happend?

He's pitched for the astros the last 2 years, his nickname is the Rocket

You've gotta start at the bottom and work your way up.

Shoots, sorry, I saw that it was just something he did for his son and that he got signed again by Houston and was brought out of re-re-retirement.

 

[waggy]

he is also re-habing from a injury

 

[poncherelli2]

The last competitive pitches he threw were at the WBC in march. He needs a few minor league starts to get back in gear, they can't throw him at MLB hitters after a 2.5 month vacation. He also held out til now because last year he starting ailing at the end of the season and wanted to shorten this season so he could make it through the whole year strong (makes sense for a 43 year old guy). I'm not a big fan of the possibly retiring/possibly coming back act he put on this spring to feed the rumors mills and start a bidding war between teams. It was always my belief that he would come back to the astro's after sitting out the first few months, but he put them in an uncomfortable position for most of the offseason/early season. This guy is, however, a great competitor and one of my favorite ball players to watch, so I'm glad I'll get one more look before he's off to the hall of fame.

Didn't you hear, he's going to be the new starting Point Guard. He's an amazingly accurate passer.

He's just chillin and starting his arm out at the Legends where his 19yo Son plays then off to Corpus Christy where he owns the team.... Saw the game tonight in person wow it was a Mad house! Pretty dominating except the 3rd batter Drennen got a hold of the 2-2 fastball and punished it into the party deck. C-ya later in a hurry!
The batter he hit accidentaly looked like he was goinna die as he hobbled to 1st base.

Best thing it was Got milk night so you had free chocolate milk, hats and then Icecream sandwiches as you left the game!

If any average guy is ever looking to move to a place where the average woman is down right Hot you gotta come see the Bluegrass!

Thanks Rocket Night was fun! 6,000 fans at applebee's park is crazy.

I wonder what it's like to hit against the rocket, while playing in the minors.

they radio interviewed Drennen on sportscenter. sounded pretty humble...but still has to be in awe of hitting a jack off of a 7 time cy young winner.
