and how! I've never stopped missing the NL West. right again! and the answer is: because Bud Selig is a moron and a douchebag. erm, nope. well, currently, thanks to a massive meltdown from Drayton & Co. at the end of his otherwise successful tenure. as I've said before, all this will normalize again soon. the Astros are the baseball team in Texas, and the Rangers are a hockey team in NYC.
As an Astro & National League fan for 50+ years, I have had zero interest in the AL my entire life. Nada. Zilch. Zero. Sadly, the confluence of the move to the AL, their awful suckiness, and an inability to watch games has placed them dangerously close to sports purgatory for me.
