re: Astros sale to include $70M for move to American League

They have literally no tradition of any kind and Washington is a longtime American League city.

Boom, exactly!

The Astros have been a serious contender one time in their entire existence, brah.

bullshite. They've been to the WS once, but have been contenders several times. Doinking in the playoffs =/= not contending.

The 1980 and 86 NLCS are 2 of the most memorable because they were so close.

who cares if they move?

most Astros fans, you know the fricking customers.

more chances to see the Yanks & Red Sox play in Houston...

whoppeee fricking doo? Why is that a selling point? Why should an Astros fan who has followed the NL forever give a flying frick about seeing the Yankees and Red Sox more often? Now I don't get to see the Cubs, Cards, Dodgers, Braves etc. Outside of going to YS or FP, why should i care about seeing either team anyway? frick, if I want to see those teams, i can just turn on ESPN on any day in baseball season that ends in the letter Y and they will be on, often playing each other? But maybe we can get to hear Sweet Caroline at MMP aka Baseball Factory of Sadness, again. That will be a treat!
