Drayton is far too stubborn for this. I can't see him admitting that extending his manager four months ago was a mistake. Not at this point.

I'd love to be wrong.

I liked how Moehler was pressing Cooper to go back out in the sixth inning. That's a sure fire sign of a lack of respect by the players. FWIW, I hope that Limey is right.

Is it 36-10 10-36 time yet?
Has a team ever reached 100 losses after a first half at or very near .500?
Maybe Wild Dog can explore that in a trivia thread tomorrow...

Watching Coop right now reminds me of watching Hitler in the last hour of Downfall...

after the Sampson fiasco, i almost do not care if the team loses. if a collapse means Cooper leaves, let it come. i cannot remember ever being so disgusted with a "manager."

There is no defending Cooper.

In spite of Cooper, the 2009 edition of the Houston Astros have found their level. I only hope Ed Wade will be allowed to supply whoever he replaces Cooper with, a better starting five, or the next guy is going to have problems winning games as well.

No but you can drag a team to such depths that the difference appears negligible and you'd be happy to have the latter back.

Dave Clark is a good guess.  Ronald McDonald couldn't be worse than Cooper.
