Five_Star Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Astro's General Manager, Tim Purpura, announces his plans for the 2005 season: "In 2004, we made a great run. We were considered out of it early on, but we didn't give up. We made some trades, and we also brought in our current manager, Phil Garner. What he did with that team, I just can't explain. Our run down the stretch was incredible, despite everyone writing us off. That's the kind of approach you can expect us to take this year. We lost some key players, but we also have a great group of young kids ready to earn their wings. Phil has my full support. I trust him to lead us back to the playoffs, and make us contenders again. The critics may be writing us off early, but they did last year too, and look what happened. Baseball is a game of inches. It only takes the slightest change to make a team click. If we need to make some moves, then we will. But I am confident in what we have now. Roger coming back is a huge left for this team. This will be a season to remember."
