    Tim Purpura won a pennant. He was still a bad choice. It had nothing to do with skin color.

    Only idiots stirring anything up is calling Dusty out for faults in which every manager has faults. Only one singled out though. Which I suspect some would rather have lost this year so Dusty could go.

    Hell, many of you don’t even realize Hinch was an average manager.

    Probably a good idea to put the openly racist dude on ignore……

    ...you are not old enough to remember Jimy Williams are you? Minute Maid Park booed its own manager when Jimy Williams was introduced as part of the NL all-star team's coaching staff. He was singled out more than anyone. The fans essentially chased him out of Houston. So don't give me the "only Dusty gets criticized" spiel.

    Guys competed to the last out under Dusty. Joe is just a pom pom cheerleader, guys have checked out by the 5th inning.

    Go away. If you're not an Astros fan (you clearly aren't as you're enjoying us losing) then find something more productive to do with your Friday night then trolling an Astros sub forum.

    The ones who are not true Astros fans were wanting Dusty fired while we were winning. We are 4-11. THAT is cause for firing.

    I'm not defending Espada and I don't care about Dusty. He's not the manager. You're also in other threads talking about players such as Diaz.

    Newsflash, a lot of people didn't agree with Baker. It's irrelevant because he has nothing to do with the team. Grow up

    Chron reports Chas and Bregs day to day... maybe hire the Rockets training staff....

    ...can't put that on the coaching where half the team is buried in the H.

    And... maybe yall should use the ignore button :D

    Alot of people wanted him fired for not going for sweeps during the regular season while he rested players. They will face the reprecussions of that
