Beat the Brewers in extras AND condemn your team to years of crapitude, all within about 16 hours. I LOVE the Astros!!!!!

It's hilarious, but at the end of the day, our GM is still Jim Hendry

fortunately we have a larger payroll to cover up his mistakes... ed wade is bad, i can't believe he got another GM job

Maybe he can talk Bagwell into coming back and sign him to a big deal.

 

Has a pitcher ever been a good GM or manager? Dierker was a good manager and for some reason never to be seen again but they seem to not have too much success in this particular field. I just think Ed Lynch and shutter.

There's a former pitcher named Tommy Lasorda who I don't think did too bad as a manager. Bob Lemon had some success as manager of both the Royals and Yankees. Currently Bud Black is doing well in his first season as Padres' manager. I can't think or any former pitchers who were successful GMs off the top of my head.

There certainly are a lot of pitchers to pick from and that isn't too deep of a list.

Eyre for Huner Pence, anyone? :lol:

Roger Craig is another one I didn't think of before. Still not a very big list, especially considering that close to half of most major leaguers are pitchers.
