    Whats ironic is Springer wasn't even Luhnows guy, Drayton will never get his credit for that one.

    You mean Wade? And I feel like we probably give him too bad of a rap. He did some dumb stuff (Gose for Wallace, the Bourn trade, etc.) but he did have a few good moves.

    Can't wait to see the 'stros when they come back to Arlington next month.

    Hope the SI Jinx doesn't jump up to bite us - maybe we can attribute the Correa injury to a pre-SI cover Jinx?

    Would be so worth it to have a totally rebuilt team after the misery of the past 5+ years.

    Springer looks too cool in that uni. I wish these could be permanent.

    Pretty cool... minus that World Series cover (which is really a Scott Podsednick/White Sox cover, not a Brad Lidge/Astros cover).

    Lidge ended up with a pretty bad-ass one of his own though (disclaimer: I hope I'm not ruining the thread here, since it isn't about Lidge. Not my intention.):

    Is it possible to watch the champs in the Austin area without the MLB package?

    Stop derailing the thread! BAN! ;)

    That was a cool cover... I now wonder what was wrong with the games from the fans standpoint (based on that story)

    Why don't you go to a Phillies forum and ask? I hope you get perma-banned for this.

    Pretty cool to see Springer!! And yes, those jerseys are awesome. They weren't too popular before rappers started sporting them in the late 90's and 00's.

    Surprised Bagwell never made it.

    Seeing Randy Johnson still irks me. We should've made a much better run that season.

    Are you sure the package even offers the Astros? Waco doesn't have any games.

    That jersey looks awesome because we don't see it every day. It works perfectly as an alternate a handful of times every year. Our current jerseys are really nice.

    Is this on news stands currently?
