Giving proper credit (I refuse to say "props") to The Unofficial Official, according to one major-league source (what happened to maybe getting someone else to back a story up?), the Astros placed Nieve on waivers this week.
Probably hoping no one would notice so that they could send him to Round Rock, because, as we all know, Nieve has less options than Ricky Lake.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
