Of All the Bad Astros Personnel Moves...

Thinking Brandon Backe was a #2 starter may have been the worst. A couple of solid postseason starts does not offset an otherwise below average career.
In a span of 10 days, this man has given up 11 earned runs in a game twice.

I wonder if Cooper is trying to send Backe a message, or the front office?

I hope it's the front office.
With Oswalt's subpar season, the terrible decision of Backe as #2 is just magnified.

What did I see the other night-Lidge has 28 saves without any BS? Must have gotten over his Puljos memories.
Seems like one year they load up on pitching, and lose a lot of 3-2 games, then load up on hitters by getting rid of all their pitchers and get beat 11-7 instead.

Well I actually think Lidge would have had a hard time recapturing his old form if he had stayed in Houston. 2005 was still clearly in his head and he needed a change of scenery. To me, it's not who they traded but who they got in return that was the bad deal there. I mean sometimes you can see a apark in somebody that maybe just needs a few tweaks here and there to become a good player. But Bourn had shown no indication in his past that this would be the case.

They're still a world series contending team, anyone who says otherwise is an idiot.
