Astros to name Cooper permanent manager

I thought Drayton hated black people?

 

Getting Soriano and having a healthy Lee helped too.

 

It seems Drayton hired the guy he probably felt was easiest to hand down orders to, as much as I hate to say that. Not sure how I feel about this. To be fair, I guess we can see in a full season where the team hasn't already tanked.

 

Come on, you know that Bud put the pressure on the Uncle.

 

I agree with the decision process. It remains to be seen whether I believe in the decision or not.

 

He does. Notice how he hired Coop to coach at one of the lowest points for the Astros in many years.

Setting him up for failure.

 

No, not really. But I still don't like it when you give a job to someone without considering other potential candidates. I do hope that Coop does well next season.

 

Considering who the Astros picked for GM, I'd say you give them too much credit.

 

I was very glad to see that Dewey Robinson is going to be our new pitching coach next season. He's credited with helping Lidge develop his slider in the minor leagues.

 

dunno about anyone else but im already excited for spring training. guess because i knew astros had slim chance after losing 10 straight early

 

you mean the guy who assembled the key components of the 2007 NL East champs?
