Richard Justice thinks Houston is smart for extending Coop.

 

JJO, who has been taking the Astros to task recently, thinks this will give Cooper some breathing room.  Check out the article for quotes from Miggy as well as Bourn.

 

Chip Bailey has his take here.

 

I like Cooper.  I think anyone who can manage a club with such a terrible run differential as the Astros had last year, combined with the question marks surrounding our pitching staff, and almost get them to the post season deserves an extension.

 

People say Cooper has lost the vets in the clubhouse and I really hope that this is not the case, and if it is, this will help out the situation some.

 

Who thinks Cooper lasts through the season?

 

Here’s to hoping.
