When Billy Beane was thriving in Moneyball, it was because he had so many GMs to play off who didn’t get it. A lot more people get it now. We must enjoy the Astros while we can. They are reading their newspaper in the morning and buying compact discs and checking their answering machine and signing up for AOL accounts. They won’t be around forever. Appreciate them now, before they, finally, disappear. I’ll miss them. I really will.
