I'm more surprised the organization almost made it 2 weeks without receiving negative press.  Progress!

just broke on The Crawfish Boxes  http://www.crawfishboxes.com/2014/8/29/6083243/according-to-rosenthal-tension-brewing-with-astros-management

"Porter recently spoke with the owner about the GM, who is said to have been particularly aggressive in addressing the manager's in-game moves."

Isn't second guessing Porter's moves a daily occurrence in the Gamezone as well?

Since earlier in the year, I always that there was tension, so this doesn't seem like news to me.  I can make positive arguments for both and hope they both remain, but since Luhnow seems to be golden and Porter seems to conveniently fill the goat role, he's most likely to go.

I'm sure Mrs. Happy is just fine.  I'm worried though that Porter is going to start complaining to Spack.

It's kind of hilarious when you look at the only real tidbit of "news" in the article out of context:
Quote
Porter’s frustration stems from a lack of input and from his belief that Luhnow engages in excessive second-guessing of his in-game management, sources said.

Luhnow is Porter's boss. What employee doesn't at times feel like their boss is second-guessing them, and that they don't get to have enough input in things?

After reading Drellich's alleged piece of journalism on this topic in today's Chron, I have a sad feeling he's playing Anakin to JDJO's Emperor Palpatine.

Darth Drellich does have a certain ring to it.

Continuing the analogy, given the shots JDJO was taking at them today apparently that makes McTaggart/Footer Luke and Leia.

fuel for the fire(ing)

This article does not match the sensational headline. The last paragraph stating that for now Luhnow is not in any danger of losing his job....
