At Minute Maid Park...bottom of the 4th, Houston ahead of Toronto 12-2...and the Astros are still batting, with the bases loaded.

Actually, I agree with you; if I'd had my druthers the Expos would have stayed in Montreal, the Astros would have stayed in the National League and the Brewers in the American, there would have been a new, expansion Senators team in Washington DC...and maybe even the "Mexican Nationals" in Mexico City!

It's not a real sport unless it's played on ice and involves either strapping knives to your shoes or throwing 40-pound chunks of granite at each other.

Houston used to have a real hockey team. As a kid, I was a big fan. Unfortunately, they did not survive the end of the WHA. The name was revived for an AHL minor league team in the 1990s, but they ended up relocating just a few years ago.

This is not a good town in which to be a hockey fan. Unfortunately.
