    Probably not... but if they're battling the A's and Angels every year for the division (while the Rangers continue to be bad and they watch Prince Fielder EAT every bit of that 24 million/year contract that lasts till 2020...), it will be like Astros-Pirates or Astros-Reds was in the old NL central.

    Right on! I don't think the move to the AL will ever stop stinging for those who were fans before the move happened. Only thing that will ever put me at peace with it is if we win the whole f'in thing!

    THIS.

    There were a half-dozen more sensible solutions than jerking the Astros around.

    We were a relatively easy answer, but the Brewers moving back would have been better.

    Easiest because we were up for sale and the league could add the contingency to the purchase....if the Padres had been sold first, it would have been them.
