Wow, that is sad. If what Chacon says is true Ed Wade is a mess. Chacon is obviously a mess also. Probably is why he's gone on this bad streak.

Well, looks like Cooper and Deway LOST this team.

We have a bad manager, bad pitching coach in Houston.

Bad organization to play baseball right now, bad.

I agree that Cooper and Dewey both suck and need to be gone. I also think Chacon needs his ass released so we can put another pitcher on the roster. Chacon created his own mess and then didn't have the balls to admit it. Screw Chacon and good riddance.

Seems as if this jerk had a sense of "entitlement" to a starters job. While I agree that Cleofus and Wade are not the two brightest bulbs on the tree, you don't try to throttle your boss. Chacon is Cha-gone! ;D

[vega51]

Thing is, you punish the guy for that start, then remove him of the rotation and then go after him to go to the manager's office???/////

Is this a pre kinder garden ballclub??//

What was the office thing about? This sounds like a case that the whole organization is suffering heat and they decide to take it out on someone. And granted that someone cracks. The person shows he has a short fuse. It seems to me that it is stupid to say this thing is all about merit when every pitcher we have has had stretches as bad as Chacon's. If the guy doesn't want to go to the office and is unmanageable, trade him. There was a long stretch that Chacon was the best starting pitcher we had. Don't badger him to go to the office. If the guy is a problem, it sure doesn't do any good to confront him. Now Houston has nothing, they don't have pitcher, and they don't even have someone they can trade. This isn't the army or a corporate office. They get people to pitch and pay them for it. I don't see where private talks are going to make any difference. We have a stupid organization that is acting irrationally.

This chacon assaulted the GM..f**k him he is gone now anyways.... 5.10 era isnt good..i dont care what his whip is...this guy is a spoiled little turd and he got flushed

[texiban001]

It also sounds like he had some serious anger management issues as well as his overblown sense of self importance.

[hembo36]

some writer had a good point..you can fight al lthe teammates you want but when you go after the guy who controls contracts and the purse, you're an idiot...its doubtful he ever gets signed again..what Gm wants to get beat down?

[texiban001]

I heard on the Jim Rome show that he is considering filing a greivance with the players union if he doesn't picked up by another team before Monday.

[hembo36]

f**k him..i guess draytie called selig and the comish saw it the astros way...chacon will never win this thing...hell, he could have been arrested for assault
