Mr. McLane is swell!

We've made light of Chron Astros beat writer Jose de Jesus Ortiz's fawning over Drayton McLane before.

But this is so good (bad?) that it almost seems like a spoof:

By the way, happy 70th birthday goes out to Astros owner Drayton McLane. I spoke to Mr. McLane today, and he was busy at work in his office in Temple. He said he was very disappointed with the loss Friday night.

We're planning for lunch on Wednesday in Houston, and Mr. McLane wants sincere suggestions about how to fix the Astros.

I guarantee you Mr. McLane is just as frustrated as the fans. He has put his energy and money — a franchise record $106 million payroll this year. Send me your thoughts, and I'll give them to him.

In all honesty, I strongly believe Astros fans should feel blessed Mr. McLane owns the team.

Really? In ALL honesty? It was kind of hard to tell until Ortiz clarified.

Mr. McLane is swell!
