.... during lastnites game.
Channel 2 just showed the video. He looks like he is telling Sampson to leave him alone and go away. Sampson then just turns and walks away.

Well, i always thought this guy was average (stuff) but now he is on my sh*t LIST.
I want this guy out.
Purpura is a very bad GM, Springer was the guy holding the bullpen together, he was THE LEADER, and the moron we have as GM let this guy go and instead signs White, great GM we have, no wonder this team has decrease the wins each years with this bozo as General manager.

Sampson should have knocked the bum on his ass. Vega is right.......letting Springer go to the Cardinals and signing a bum like Rick White was stupid. Signing Loretta was a good move but I imagine Garner engineered that one. Purpura does his best work at the donut shop and pizza buffet.

Springer, under 2.50 ERA, 1.11 whip, plus a leader of bullpen.
Wheeler, forget about this guy, with what he did to a rookie pitcher i want no part of that a$$h*le on my team. I want Wheeler TRADED NOW.

Wheeler and Sampson are fine. It was the heat of the moment thing. When Wheeler came in after being pulled by Garner, Sampson went over to console him and say something like we'll get em next time. Wheeler didn't want to be consoled. Wheeler appolgized to Chris and said it was unprofessional. They call each other brothers. If you have a sibling, you know how easy it is to get into a pissing match.

Yes, Wheeler takes a win away from Sampson and then shove him, great attitude from a "professional" pitcher.

The one thing i will give to the astros is they have always been class...This cubs type dugout will not go far here. draytie would dump any cowboy(yes berkman and oswalt included) Theres been frustration and water coolers thrown in the past but its highly embarassing to have this on TV...This club is not classless... of course garner had to be told about it after the game was over..he had no idea...kind of going with the usual managing style i suppose...has this been on national Tv yet?
Its a sin to fight with a teammate in any situation...i dont know about draytie but i assure you the texans owner would ship the guy somewhere else...probably dallas

Have any of you ever thought that MAYBE the Lastros NEED a couple of guys with an atitude? while I think that Wheeler is pretty much a jerk for his actions, I am tired of all of the "nice" guys the Lastros have on the roster. I would trade every damned one of these guys for someone that would tell it like it is and rip their team for the lack of effort that is consistently displayed by the Lastros. Do you think for a minute that Pete Rose in his prime would have tolerated this "well we are just trying to do our best" attitude? No f***ing way! He would have been kicking someone's ass!
But back to a comment up the page, PooPoora is one of the worst GM's I have seen. He probably does do his best work at a buffet. Looking at him, I would hazard a guess that he is a regular at both Pancho's and CiCi's. Maybe we can trade him to any other team for a GM to be named later.

This team really does do some stupid sh*t. Look at how long it took them to recognize Sampson's ability. Now they finally bring up McLemore and I am sure he will do very well. They constantly give the same old guys extra chances and hold back the talent. Hell push these guys, the cream always rises to the top and if they can not take the heat of being brought along then maybe there makeup is not what you want on a pro team.
As far as Wheeler goes, so long as Sampson and he are ok then he does have talent he just needs to get his sh*t together.
