Astros cleaned house with yet another trade, Chris Johnson to Arizona.

Frankly, I love what they're doing this year. I don't care if they lose 125 next year letting these kids develop. Time to stockpile some early picks.

They goofed in prior years giving up such good talent for middling returns, but this new administration is taking a risk worth taking. Should be fun watching these guys grow up over the next 3-4 seasons.

Ditto this. I loved watching the era of Bagwell, Gonzalez, Kile and Casey Candaele. It was fun watching those guys grow up together.

Ok, getrting rid on current coaches now, so, just about ready to start adding back the new winning team now. or maybe that starts in off-season. might as well lockup first choice in draft and set a few badness records on the way.

Bo Parker hired as new head coach.

40 years old, 3B coach with Nationals, wife from Houston, sounds like a great fit for new Astros.

Good luck to him. Let's see if Crane gives him any players.

Astro's are 15-14 over last month, 3 shutouts in a row, so maybe these young guys just needed a little time and different coach.

ok, a little hope here at end of season going forward.

last game of season tonight.

then no. 1 pick again in draft.
