In Houston, we have a Boston admirer

The blog Houstonist is asking Houston teams to be more like Boston teams that can't seem to stop winning titles. One of the Houston-area teams singled out is the Astros, who are rightly criticized for their bumbling ways in recent seasons.

Ed Wade's first moves as general manager have been good ones to this point. He acquired steals fiend Michale Bourn in exchange for Brad Lidge, who was struggling as Astros closer. Lidge has since turned it around. Wade also aquired Miguel Tejada from Baltimore. While that move was criticized because of Tejada's steroid allegations, the shortstop never served any time for his misdeeds.
