Up until recently I had been a lifelong (and tortured) Astros fan. I followed them every year dispite every losing season and dispite trading every good player away the second they start doing too well. The final straw was the week when they traded away BOTH Micheal Bourn (who was leading the league in stolen bases) and Hunter Pence (who was a lanky hitting machine and sold plenty of jerserys). I have never seen a team more dedicated to losing in all of my life. Several All-Star teams could be fielded off of people the Astros have given up. After that happened I never watched them again. I hear they lost over 100 games, and were worst in baseball.
I still have hope that they will one day pull things together and start winning again, but now that I see they are moving to the AL I am less than optimistic. They couldn't even compete hardly in the NL Central and now they are going to a pretty tough AL West. I am not as big a baseball fan as some of you, I'm sure. So, was wondering if anyone had perspective or opinions on the move. Either way giving up any player who does well will not help their cause, that's for sure...
