'Stros fire Cooper
The Houston Astros have fired manager Cecil Cooper, according to the Houston Chronicle.
Our View: The Astros looked lifeless in enduring a weekend sweep in Milwaukee, and have dropped seven straight overall to fall to 70-79. Cooper's tactics have been questioned by many in 2009, and it's probably good the team got his inevitable firing out of the way now instead of prolonging it any longer. Maybe the team will finally loosen up in its final 13 games, and you can get some decent fantasy production out of the likes of Lance Berkman, Miguel Tejada, Carlos Lee and Hunter Pence.
