    Don Baylor does not thrill me. Bob Brenley is another matter.

    Brenley is not a good manager. Phil Garner would be a good choice, IMO.

    Phil Garner's been great everywhere he's been.

    I don't really care who it is at this point. The Astros need a shakeup.

    Houston Astros fans want blood. It's time for management to sacrifice Jimy to appease us. I doubt it will really make a difference but I want to take this wasted season out on someone. Jimy is an easy target.

    We're doing that over here around 7:47:23. Give or take a second. MLB 2004 will follow. Refreshments served.

    I wouldn't mind having Terry Pendleton as the Stros manager.

    How many World Series has either won?

    I really view Brenley as a mid-season rental. If the Astros do not make and advance in the playoffs, Brenley would be gone at the end of the season.

    I am also not opposed to bring back Derk for a half season.

    Bring back Hal Lanier for all I care. I never liked Jimy.

    How come Cito Gaston hasn't got a job after his good job in Toronto. Has he retired, or is bad guy?

    Anyone know?

    At least Felipe and Baylor get recycled. FRob was pulled off the trash heap. Must be another somewhere, some where.

    I am still asking, 'Why, not Cruuuuuuz?'

    Baylor is terrible. Why the hell would we want him?

    We can't we ever be in the market for the clever, innovative coaches :(?

    Baylor is a good hitting coach...look at what he did in Atlanta, and also I heard that's a big reason for Hidalgo's resurgence.

    Rumor has it that Gaston was one of the most abrasive personalities with management and his players.

    Of course, I am sure you think its something else though. :)

    I would love to have Cruz be our manager and I think he deserves it.

    Did SportsCenter REALLY just mention a possibility of GRADY LITTLE replacing Jimy again?!?!!?

    NOOOOOO!!!!!!


    If that happens, I swear to god I will track down Hunsicker and McLane until they are forced to leave town.

    In fact, if it's ANYONE BUT DOn Baylor I will be QUITE upset. (Lopes, Garner, similar are acceptable)
