Another year of Crapiron Garner
Drayton added a year to Garner's contract while cutting Jim Hickey loose.
Yeah, when the manager tells the world he's demoting his closer twice but still keeps dragging him out to blow saves, that's the fault of the pitching coach.
Damn those Astros starters for not demanding more run support! Pitching coach!
Refusing to start Sampson despite some good, but short, starts. Then bringing him up so he can sit on the bench for a week before sending him back down while starting Wild Wandy. Pitching coach!
Oswalt bagging Pitcher Of The Month in September and looking at a Cy Young. Pitching coach!
The rest of the coaching staff will return in tact: bench coach Cecil Cooper, third-base coach Doug Mansolino, first-base coach Jose Cruz, hitting coach Sean Berry and bullpen coach Mark Bailey. Berry replaced Gary Gaetti at the All-Star break and has had his interim tag removed.
Um... what was Manso doing on the last game of the season when Quintero slapped an easy fly to right and slower-than-Ensberg Huff stumbled right into a gundown by Francoeur?
Oh well. Another year of renewing firephilgarner.com.
