For years, the Astros mortgaged their minor leagues to keep the major league club winning. Now that the major league team has gotten old, they don't have any new talent coming in. Drayton McLane has been afraid to turn the team over because he doesn't want to lose ticket sales. Now that things have turned sour, he is losing games and losing ticket sales. They fired the manager, but they really had personnel issues. Hopefully GM, Ed Wade can restock the minor and major league teams back with talent. They have a ways to go, and they will have to be patient with the new manager whom ever they hire. Edited by leeman, Oct 12 2009, 05:28 PM.
