JJO is reporting that managerial candidate Brad Mills will fly to Houston today to meet with the Astros for a third time.
But Uncle Drayton won't get to Houston until tomorrow. Don't count that against Mills, though, says JJO:
McLane says he won't arrive in Houston until Tuesday, which isn't a knock against any of the candidates in town because he wasn't in Houston either when negotiations broke off while Acta was in Houston on Saturday negotiating the offer he turned down of two years plus an option when it was presented by president of baseball operations Tal Smith.
I would like to point out that this is one of the longest sentences you'll ever read in a newspaper. In this sentence, JJO has an .016 punctuation:word count average, with more contractions (3) than punctuation marks (2).
Meanwhile McTaggart is reporting that Mills and Clark will interview again tomorrow at Minute Maid Park.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
