Houston Astros going to the American League

[danchez]

Your thoughts?

[Tom]

I think it is a good compromise from the original offer from the MLB, which was demoting them to AAA.

[kenw]

it's just as boring.....

[KJ Smith]

Gives them a whole new League to finish last in.


Hopefully there will be some more adjustments.

Playing west coast teams is tough on the local fans.

They don't even play real baseball in the AL.

If thats the case, the Astro's will fit right in.

I suppose you have a point there.

They'll still play at the park in Houston sometimes, right? That's good enough me. I don't watch on TV, but I like to go to the games. Don't care if they win or loose, just a fun atmosphere.

works for me, means they will play the Red Sox more and and I can make the trip over spend the night and catch a game or two. Yes I am a Sox fan I was Born and raised just south of Boston.

Will be more exciting for your fans. Now you will can have a .350 hitter for the pitcher who is usually just bunting for an out. Also now if a pitcher is doing well you want have to take him out for a pinch hitter.

Plus you give The Rangers another team we can dominate on a regular basis.
Long live the winner of the Silver Boot.
