HOUSTON- Former Houston Astros manager Phil Garner spoke to KHOU Weekend Sports Anchor Matt Musil this afternoon and told him he has yet to be contacted by team management for a second interview.

Garner went on to say that he wasn't surprised by that, given the Astros told him during the initial interview that he wouldn't hear back from the team for at least a week.

The former skipper interviewed for the job last Saturday morning.

Despite the delay in a call back, Garner says he still feel really good about his chances of getting his old job back. He added that just the thought of being back at the Astros helm has him excited about baseball again.

Garner was one of 10 candidates who initially interviewed for the Astros vacant managers position. Two candidates, Mann y Acta and Brad Mills were interviewed by Astros management for a 2nd time yesterday.
