Default Re: Astros Fire Manager Garner, GM Purpura

Let me already quote a passage between Jon Miller and Joe Morgan from the future of September 14th, 2007:

Jon (for whatever reason, tries to start conversation): "Joe, what do you think about Astros new manager, Cecil Cooper?"


Joe (stupidly): "You see, this hasn't been able to help th'astros. Sure, it's great that the Astros hired their first African-American manager in the team's 40 plus year history. It shows progress for the city of Houston, where no Black Americans are allowed to live. But it's not going to help. Because he's not a player. Cecil Cooper was once a pitcher for the Red Sox back in 1996, but he isn't going to help the Astros as a manager. The Astros won't get better until they get more African-American players. On the field. Playing the game of baseball the right way. They have a reliever Steven Randolph, but his ERA is way too high. He might be 1/16th Cherokee Indian or something. Also they did acquire Tyrone Wiggerton at third base and got rid of that blue-eyed guy. They sent him to San Diego. That was a good transaction. Craig Biggio isn't Black. OPS stuff."
