    Cora is a loudmouth that drinks too much - but he is also extremely bright, is very good at talent evaluation and building a team.

    I doubt that Crane would touch Cora at this point because of Luhnow - but he is who I would like to manage the Astros.

    Bregman isn't on the Red Sox without Cora behind the scenes making it happen.

    I guess winning the series isn't that important. Our DH getting 2 rest days is though.

    Estrada sucks

    The crap he pulled on the plane with Blum makes me not want Cora. That would get you fired instantly from a job in the real world. He seems immature. Verlander didn’t have a problem telling him to **** off. I noted that.

    #2 made me think he died! Had to look it up. Maybe be careful with that phrase when talking about a septuagenarian ;)

    He actually prefers his native philly area cuisine. Dusty couldn't get that right either.

    Obviously we all know he’s alive. He’s clearly still filling in the lineup card everyday

    In a totally petty comment, anybody notice that ridiculous hair-do Josh Reddick was sporting a couple of days ago on the pre-game show? Somebody must have told him how stupid he looked because it's gone.

    Walker should have been the one getting the day off.

    Walker is a bust.

    All that for 1 run.

    Walker is too passive to be a cleanup hitter.

    It really looks like he is looking/hoping to walk first and then swing the bat only if he has to.

    That did not work out for David Hensley either.

    Walker is starting to do that Jason Castro thing where he strikes out looking on obvious strikes and then whines to the ump about it.

    It's not the umps fault you stare at strikes. Quit being a bum.
