PHIL GARNER: A huge shock for all Houston fans, right? If the fans were voting, he would have garnered (pun intended) enough votes to be Governor. He definitely has the majority of the fans on his side, but anyone who reads the words I write, knows I don’t want him as manager. A lesser position wouldn’t be half bad.

DAVE CLARK: The guy knows how to wear a tie. He won my Best Dressed Award which was given out after the conclusion of the first round of interviews. With that honor comes a chance to win it all. The players back their interim manager, but I don’t care who these whiney players want. I know Clark is inexperienced with the post game interviews and it showed. He seemed lost a few times and the media was busting him on game situations. He would get better, and if the owner is concerned about sucking up to the players he will be the next manager. I don’t think he’s ready.

BRAD MILLS: He comes from a winning organization so I’m sure Julia from Julia’s Rants is impressed with him. I know for sure she is impressed with Bogar, but who isn’t? I haven’t read one derogatory remark regarding the former Astros player. Back to Mills. I’m bored, so I’ll move on to….

MANNY ACTA: Didn’t you know I would save the best for last? I’m concerned about him being a finalist for the Indians job as well. You know this could be an uncomfortable situation for him. Let’s say the Cleveland Indians give him a ring and tell him the good news. What do you say if you are him? “I appreciate the offer, but can y’all wait until I hear from the Astros?” This could get sticky. I listened to his interview with Cleveland online, and his grasp on the English language isn’t all that good, but he will continue to improve.  

I hope Drayton gets his Acta together. From what I’m reading, we should know something before the World Series starts on Wednesday. I do hope that Bogar gets back to Houston in some form.
