I grew up listening to Elston call the Colt 45s and Astros. I never wanted to do play by play but if I had, I would've wanted to be like Gene.

The Astros have made a lot of personnel mistakes over the years -- I think firing Elston was one of them. I never cared for his replacement.

I think the Astros got rid of the wrong person - Ashby should have been retained and Milo sent packing. Milo just sucks up to the Astros more and says whatever Drayton wants him to say.

Uh, is that because Drayton is his BOSS?

Yeah, he's sucking up to Drayton when he's not patting himself on the back.
