Barry I wouldn't be surprised if that is what they come up with. Was so laughable to learn they called their football team the "Texans". Dumbest name in the history of all sports history.

Maybe they can change the Astros to the Oilers and go with a luv ya blue color scheme. Billy Whit Shoes Johnson can be the third base corch.

I don't care. The Astros as an organization died the minute they accepted switching to the AL. Gone are all of the old rivalries, might as well take the identity too.


I Still don't understand why baseball didn't just move the Brewers to the AL Central and the Royals to the AL West. The Brewers were an AL team for almost 30 years and have a lot more history there than they do in the NL.
