Astros Overview: 2010 is a good year to play video games ‘stros fans.

The Astros had the worst record in baseball after the All-Star break and there’s really no reason to believe that they won’t pick up in 2010 where they left off in 2009.

Manager: Geoff Blum said, recently, “It got bad. It was what it was. Everyone could see it. There was a communication breakdown.” Blum was referencing a toxic year under departed manager Cecil Cooper. Let’s be honest, it doesn’t matter if Brad Mills is a good manager or not. This team is old, slow, and has next to nothing in the farm system to replace the “old guys.”  Management has a mandate to slash a bloated payroll so the few stars that they have will probably be gone.
