Re: They brought back Phil Garner
Man...halfway through 2004, the Astros were the picture of awful. They had plenty of talent, but absolutely sucked. They hire Garner, and the team rebounds, wins the wildcard, wins its first playoff series EVER, and get to the NLCS for the first time since 1986. Then, this season...the team started off in a huge hole due to injuries and so many young players -- he helps engineer the turnaround, win the wildcard, take the team to a second-straight NLCS, win the pennant for the first time EVER, and make it to the World Series.
Certainly, I agree he made mistakes during the WS (I even posted about that)...but come ON -- who else do you want managing this team? After what the Astros have accomplished over the last two seasons, you think Garner deserves to be FIRED? Gotta be kidding me.
