Default Chacon = gone

Seems punching Ed Wade will get you "suspended indefinitely". There are times I'd like to punch Ed Wade too. I wonder what he'd do to me.

agreed...a few more face-punchings may curb the jackassory that goes on in this country.

Yes, lets choke slam the guy that signs your paychecks.... BRILLIANT!!! That guy was worthless and I am still having a difficult time figuring out why we even got this guy. I got the ESPN alert on my phone last night and one of the things it said was that Chacon had 1 save in 64 opportunities with the Pirates last year.... who the hell gives a guy 2 million with stats like that? We need to fire whoever is doing our scouting.

I thought this was very embarrassing for the Houston Astros.

Well, he has been released.

I can't say I believe either Ed Wade or Shawn Chacon in this case. I highly doubt Chacon was "sitting calmly". But for Ed Wade to tell him to "effin look in the mirror" is totally inappropriate and unprofessional. Sounds like Chacon got the boot and Wade needs a good dose of humble pie. Maybe they should have let Chacon wail on him a little longer, seeing as how he was going to lose his job anyway.

I do love the fact that Philadelphia fans are coming out of the woodwork to tell us Astros fans what a lousy GM Wade is, and how they're all cheering for Chacon.
