Justice: clock is ticking on Cooper's time as manager

2

The Houston Chronicle's Richard Justice thinks the Astros may have to fire Cecil Cooper. By the way, wasn't it only two months ago that Richard Justice chastised the Astros because they hadn't extended Cooper's contract yet? Then he applauded the Astros when they did extend the contract. Anyway, Justice makes some good points, and the blog is worth reading. Justice thinks Cooper called out his No. 1 pitcher after Tuesday's game (see my earlier article.."Some Random Reactions..."), and thinks that Cooper is losing respect among his players.
