    Growing up, I hated the Dodgers the most among the West teams back in the day. Orel Hygeine, The Man that could breathe thru his eyelids, Lasorda, Burt Hooten...ick.

    I just hated them back in the days of the Wild West. (Please hang me on bad pun abuse. Please)

    August 30 - September 8 has 6 games between the Dodgers and Stros. Astros have given them a 4.5 game head start for the wild card. The Dodgers have stretch were they play NL playoff teams 15 straight games.

    Revenge! Even if Stros win the Central which I think will happen (60% chance), spoil it for the Dodgers!

    Man, when I read your title I thought the Astros would wear their retro jerseys for a series. Crap. That would have been awesome.

    That's what I though, too.

    Didn't they go retro one series? I forgot against who, but their jerseys were different. Kind of looked plain, if I remember correctly.

    Oh yeah, go Astros and win the central or wild card! :)

    The Astros wore their jerseys from 1970 the last time they were in Cincinnati.

    Hopefully there won't be a strike to wipe out the great pennant and wild card races.

    It seems like every rap video has the old Astros Jersey. When the Astros wore them people said they were ugly now that they stopped people started to buy them. I always liked the throwback Astros Jersey.

    Who cares what they wear? They'll be wearing Nike golf apparel as soon as they go on strike anyway.

    Man...horrible imagery there. I know they're going on strike and all....but did I really need to relive when they did it 7 years ago? :)
