It seems like it's difficult to aquire a decent player who is smallish. Big players seem like a sure thing, or at least players who have a high turnover rate. Willy-T and Bourne have been a wash, except Willy has stolen about 5 more bases... I'm glad we fired Pupura. The guy had no eye for anything but cheeseburgers and no exercise. I don;t think the Astros have given up on the season. If they have collectively given up on anything it's eachother. At the least the players would care about their stats. That collectively would've amounted to more than this.
