Steve Phillips says the Astros' recent performance is good job security for Brad Mills:
Brad Mills got sold a bill of goods. He took a team with Roy Oswalt and Lance Berkman and now he is managing J.A. Happ and Brett Wallace. Give Mills credit, though. He has the Astros playing hard and acting as spoilers in the National League playoff races. They will be rebuilding in Houston for the next couple years, and it seems that Mills will handle it well.
I don't even know what the bill of goods thing means. But I like Brad Mills!
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
