"As usual, the Astros were tone-deaf to their players, and tone-deaf to the situation that they were in."
Rosenthal puts forth Bagwell's name as a possibility, but notes, "More likely the Astros will go for an experienced manager, like Manny Acta...or Jim Fregosi...
...Frankly, it doesn't matter who the next manager is until the Astros realize they need to tear down and build back up again. And that's not something Drayton McLane wants to do."
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
