    According to Buster Olney, if Jim Crane purchases the team, MLB wants the disAstros to move to the AL.

    yeah this should help their 40 win season. jesus christ.

    There've been a lot of weird ideas floating around about realigning baseball. Moving the Astros to the AL is about the only plan that made sense to me.

    It re-equalizes the leagues 15/15 team balance. I think Selig was a self-serving ass when he moved the Brewers to the AL creating the stupid 14/16. I also think it sets up a pretty good Rangers-Astros rivalry.
    I like it, but I'm not an Astro' fan.

    Tirk; curious if you noticed the repore between Chip Kelly and his players on the sideline during our game? I love how supportive he was, when Barner and DeThomas came off the field, after they had just phucked up their returns. I think you'd like Chip more than you think.

    One last thing, your's is the funniest avatar, that I totally disagree with.

    Finally the imbalance will be over.

    I agree Duckfan, it made no sense and was self serving.

    Now the Astros and Rangers can get a real rivalry going (well the pre 2007 Astros, that is).

    i never doubted he was good if hes on your side. like Saban. still a prick. was good to see LSU give him a nice serving of humility though. that was a first.
    not my fault you are blind.

    ... It's good to see, that You've always believed in Chip Kelly.

    but, what did I f*cking tell you before? Chip's trying to lose weight,.. he wouldn't swallow any of that humble pie..
