"Toxic" Environment?

A lot of us have heard multiple times in the club house that the environment is "toxic." Apparently Russ Ortiz isn't happy with Cooper at all. Jose De Jesus Ortiz posted a blog after tonights game and Russ pretty much rips Coop and the way he goes about his business. Russ has pitched well enough this year that he'll likely receive offers this off season and I highly doubt he'll be back with the Astros if they want him. I've read that a lot of guys are unhappy with Cooper and that hes lost the clubhouse. Personally I think its time for the Bud Selig hire to go a la Jimy Williams in 2004. If anybody else in the clubhouse feels this way towards Coop (which seems likely), I doubt he can spark much fire under their asses. Heres the link
