Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.

Cecil Cooper says he'd quit if Barry Bonds was brought to Houston. It's a punk move on several fronts. First, he didn't say it until he knew the team wasn't interested and had announced it publicly. Second, I doubt he'd have the same reaction to local legend Roger Clemens.
It's sad to see Cooper go so far towards being a company man, making him a perfect match for Ed Wade and the hapless Astros. McLane has gone from being a bad imitation of George Steinbrenner to a bad imitation of George W. Bush*.
* As owner, Bush was meddlesome when he felt like it while still being completely ignorant of most operations.
Is that any different than W. the President?
But the link undermines your entire post; Cooper clearly said it in jest. Unless I'm missing something here which, as Scott and virtually every blog on the Toaster will tell you, would not be the first time.
