I almost ignored it. I really did. But CBS Sports' Larry Dobrow filed his Power Rankings today, and he just isn't seeing what we're seeing. And he's already got Brad Mills on a new job hunt.
Astros: 26th
I don't care what this team did last week. They remain bad -- not mediocre, bad -- at most facets of the game. Just look who they've been playing before you start dreaming dynastic dreams ... On the other hand, the schedule stays manageable (Reds/Braves/Diamondbacks/Padres) for the next few weeks ... I do love me some Brad Mills, though, who's steady and smart. Hopefully he'll eventually land in a happier, more manageable situation, much as Manny Acta did.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
