I think it was also because the Astros owner is kind of a nut

Yeah, I was responding to insein, who seemed to think you meant luhnow, so I was clarifying that they fired their gm this off-season also, which is what I assumed you meant.

I think he means this off-season

Houston is going back to Davis Mills, for the record. Still not good, but unfortunately maybe not the bloodbaths of the past 2 weeks.

Breaking the bank for Trea and Taijuan. Am I crazy to be nervous about the back half of Trea's deal?
