Steve Phillips thinks the coaching carousel will pass Houston by

Steve Phillips says the Astros' recent performance is good job security for Brad Mills:

Brad Mills got sold a bill of goods. He took a team with Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman and now he is managing J.A. Happ and Brett Wallace. Give Mills credit, though. He has the Astros playing hard and acting as spoilers in the National League playoff races. They will be rebuilding in Houston for the next couple years, and it seems that Mills will handle it well.

I don't even know what the bill of goods thing means. But I like Brad Mills!

Steve Phillips explains why he's not in baseball

Former GM/intern-humper Steve Phillips appeared on WFAN yesterday and said that, if he was Washington GM Mike Rizzo, he would trade Stephen Strasburg for Roy Oswalt.

If Mike Rizzo is half as ridiculously, staggeringly short-sighted as Phillips, Ed Wade better be on the phone right now.
