Look at my posts, I have been saying good things about Cooper. I do think he has grown with the job. He was making bad decisions at first and they have improved dramatically. I was so upset in the days that he wasn't playing Erstad. Erstad was on fire tonight.

I called and still do call him Cleofus! I will be the first to admit that the Stros are playing better, but they are also playing above themselves. The team has made good progress but they still need another one or two pitchers and another bat. That said, I am not a "bandwagon" fan. I lived and died with the Astros for 30 years and I am tired of this team continually underperforming, which is why I no longer worry myself to death about them. It just pisses me off that the Marlins have already won TWO World Series in less than half the time the Astros have been in MLB and the Astros got there ONCE and got SWEPT! Anyone that says it doesn't matter, is either a liar or delusional.

Believe me...I feel your pain. I have suffered through every year since they came out as the Colt 45's....The worst suffering was during the 70's when they should have been the hands down best team in baseball...but alas...they never got to play together
However...I still dont get the cleofus comment if they are , as you say "playing above themselves"...Ya have to credit the manager for that...but you cant, however blame the current manager for them being swept in 2005....but I do understand being pissed off about it.
I think Cooper has improved his managing drastically. I think that the team depends on him and the GM to work together and put the best team possible together that they can. And then Cooper has to employ them on the field in the best way. I believe Cooper still makes some mistakes at that. I am too busy however right now to point out what I think are specifics.
I should mention that it is bad luck to show too much love. Anyway the whole team is full of scoundrels and Cooper is the head scoundrel. It is just a matter of time before they crack.
Wow...good to hear from you again...Dennis I think isnt it?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Missed alot lately, (kid, job, sh*t, ya know) seen two whole games here in AZ (Cubs) but glad to see the system is not completely drained.
At the end of the year Coop will have a winning record so I'll give him some cred for keeping them on track to keep playing hard.
Good to see some of the same names on this board going back to 1999.
Seems like through no fault of ours other than log in problems every time the board changed, you and I had to change our log in namesmore often than folks in witness protection. Hope we hear from you more often.
well..that didnt work..tried to copy and paste. Dennis's post...got so garbled I cant tell who wrote what. Maybe smarter folks than me can figure it out.
