Astros Put Mills Out Of His Misery

Agree not going to get any better next year heading to the AL West.

Creating a new image for their move to the AL. Mills was doomed to fail. Nobody on the planet was going to be able to manage that team to be competitive.

move to AL is going to be a train wreck

no way they have horses to compete

100+ losses

I actually think they are going to challenge the 1962 Mets next year.

Tigers team also from early 2000s

I could really see 43-119

Something along those lines

Tony DeFrancesco is the interim manager. He was their AAA manager this year. Makes sense. Its a minor league team.

Mr KLC · 08-19-12, 10:06 AM

Dan Radison new Astros 1B coach. Ty VanBurkleo is hitting coach. All interim roles.

Funny how they strongarmed new owner

Wouldnt approve him buying unless he agreed to AL move

I know they wanted to even out leagues but interleague games are fukkin played out

Now at least one interleague series all season

Astros interim manager Tony DeFrancesco: "I want to be the guy who changes the environment out there."

You got about $100 million for some new players?

Unreal, what a disgusting franchise

Mr KLC · 08-19-12, 10:18 AM

Luhnow said he sensed some relief after telling Mills he had been dismissed. I wouldn't be surprised if Mills didn't hug him, and offer to suck his dikk after being fired.

Same old team today, but manager was announced 2 hours before game time. I'll be interested to see how they respond after about a week. DeFrancesco has done a solid job in the minors over the last few years. Can't remember the last time the Astros had a competitive AAA team, before this year, especially with the low quality level their farm system has been at.
