I note that the Astros have announced that they will interview 10 (TEN!) candidates to become the team's next manager.
The list of the candidates includes Dave Clark, Al Pedrique, Ned Yost, Randy Ready, Bob Melvin, Manny Acta, Brad Mills, Tim Bogar, Pete Mackanin and last but not least, Phil Garner who the team fired as their manager just 25 months ago.
Hello Astros! Just some random questions.
Have you ever heard the phrase "time is money"?
Do you pay these guys' transportation to get to Houston to interview? What kind of travel budget do you have?
Did Phil Garner suddenly get better without managing a game since you fired him?*
What about Grady Little, Stump Merrill and Lee Elia who for some reason are not on your list? What did they ever do to you? You are interviewing everybody else!
If you interview 10 people for this job, you darn sure better get this hire right.
Forget rebuilding. A dynasty should follow.
*I know that he looks deep in thought in the card above but he hasn't won many games as evidenced by his .477 winning percentage. He could be just looking in the crowd.

Phil's not looking into the crowd--he's standing next to the Pirates.com sign and reliving his glory days of the '79 World Series.
Or maybe he's bird watching (or maybe he is looking into the crowd and is checking out some hot babes).
I guess it's one big mystery...
