Why now Drayton?

I really don't get why Drayton pulled the trigger on kicking Garner and Purpura to the curb now as opposed to back in June or early July when it was clear the team was going nowhere. If you're serious about giving Cecil Cooper a real audition as manager, he needs more than just over a month.

I'm traveling today in San Francisco and trying to digest all the Astros' news of the day but unfortunately I am once again dealing with a very slow hotel Internet connection. An example of this slow connection is the fact that I have been trying to send a 4 MB file via email to a colleague in Germany for more than three hours. This proves my theory once again that if you have to pay more than ten dollars for an Internet connection, you can pretty much guarantee it will be brutally slow. Take note of this if you're ever staying at the Westin Market St. in SF.

I will probably have more to say on the Astros latest moves later this week but for now, I'll say good luck Cecil.

Word to Drayton, please don't let Tal Smith talk you into hiring his kid as GM.
