    Also lost in all of this was that the Astros, in their final roadtrip as a National League club, have clinched a winning roadtrip for the first time this season.

    And, if they win today, they will leave the NL with exactly 4000 victories.

    Knocking selig's brewers and sweeping the cubs would be a very sweet way to go out.

    GO ASTROS!

    Looks like quite a few Astros fans in the crowd. Wish I could have made it there for this. Ugh.

    They keep advertising that voucher to get into new uniform unveiling can be found at Astros.com....I'm not seeing it at Astros.com at all. Am I missing it?

    I came here to ask the same question. I've browsed around their website and can't find it.

    EDIT

    <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p>Link for vouchers for Launch Party on 11/2 will be avail tom. Link for vouchers will be tweeted so stay tuned &amp; make sure to follow @<a href="https://twitter.com/astros">astros</a></p>&mdash; Houston Astros (@astros) <a href="https://twitter.com/astros/status/253252157204201473" data-datetime="2012-10-02T21:56:34+00:00">October 2, 2012</a></blockquote>
    <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

    This was from yesterday, so they should be tweeting the link some time today. Probably right after the game. I'll post it if I find it.

    I really wanted that win. It was bad enough I had to watch the Cubs feed.

    On the same night that Miguel Cabrera is the first Triple Crown winner since the 1960's the Astros set two milestones not met since the 1960's. The Stros are the first team to lose 106 games or more since the 1964-1965 Mets. With the help of the Cubs this was the first series of 100 game losers since 1962.

    Hooray for History....

    I was thinking about driving out to Chicago for this. I am almost disappointed I missed it to see history in the making..:p

    The 2002-2003 Tigers say hello. Perhaps you meant in the NL.

    Not sure where you got that stat, but it isn't even close to being accurate.

    2003 Tigers - 119 losses
    2004 Diamondbacks - 111 losses
    1969 Expos - 110 losses
    1969 Padres - 110 losses
    1979 Blue Jays - 109 losses
    1996 Tigers - 109 losses
    1979 Athletics - 108 losses
    1998 Marlins - 108 losses
    1977 Blue Jays - 107 losses
    1988 Orioles - 107 losses
    1976 Expos - 107 losses

    And there's like 6 more teams that had 106.

    He might have meant 106+ in consecutive seasons, but left that part out
