Next year. They will continue in the NL this season

So how are Houstonians handling the switch? I always liked the Stros.

Regular season has already started. Oakland and Seattle played a pair of games in Tokyo.

I know many who do not like it. Myself I don't like it but I understand the new Owner doing it since it had an effect on the price he paid to get the Astros. All I ask is take the money you saved and put it into the team if you do that and they win no one will care about being in the AL

Yea definitely they need to put some in the team. I have a few friends in Houston who despise McLaine and are glad he is gone. I liked Minute Maid the one time I went. Nice park.

I can't say I despise Drayton but I'm glad he sold the team if he is unwilling to put the money in to compete. Jim Crane we will see what he does. I like the fact the new GM is Jeff Luhnow was put in place. As a VP with the Cards that organization put together some very talented teams.

It is a nice Park I'm looking at it right now. My office is on the 13th floor 1 block away from the Stadium. Matter of fact they are playing right now but the roof is closed

I was just thinking with them moving that may mean that Pujols continues to be an Astro beater. Of course he beat up on the Rangers too. Eh. I like the Stros. Good luck to them. I remember how much my dad loved Biggio.

It's nice that Houston has that stadium right in their downtown. Wish Dallas could do that with their stadiums but I understand the dynamics of all that. You should have taken a long lunch and caught some BB.

Off topic but being an obviously passionate Boys fan do you catch grief there in H town? I know Houston hates Dallas & everything Cowboy.
