Houston Astros Fire Phil Garner

The Houston Astros fired manager Phil Garner yesterday. With the team 58-73 and a full 10 games out of first place in the very weak National League Central Division, Astros' owner Drayton McLane said the squad "needed a fresh start."

Garner, who took over the Astros in the middle of the 2004 season and led them to the 2005 National League pennant, was rather gracious under the circumstances. He told reporters:

"We were never able to put together the run, like we made in the previous two seasons. I think there were a number of reasons for that. I had a wonderful time with the Astros. They gave me a great opportunity. They reinvigorated my interest in baseball and really gave me a great opportunity to reinvigorate my career. I'm more grateful for the job they gave me than I am saddened and upset by the firing."
