It's done.
Jim Crane officially approved as Astros’ new owner; Astros moving to American League
quote:

As part of the deal, Crane was required to give baseball the power to move the Astros to the American League West. That move will happen in 2013, and at some point soon, commissioner Bud Selig said there will be an additional wild card team in each league. The expanded playoffs could come as soon as the 2012 season, Selig said.

RIP Astros
1962-2012

frick YOU BUD SELIG!

There will still be plenty of NL games, just not as many, they said the scheduling will be more like the NBA where its not as focused on divisional games. Personally, I have been an Astros fan my whole life, and I had many years of season tickets at the Astrodome. The franchise just needs a fresh new start, and to me the American League can be the beginning of that start. They are still playing baseball last I checked. McLane ran his course and he sucked, they need to fire Ed Wade that SOB too, worst hire in baseball.
