Amag --- Just wanted to return the visit you made to the Astros site ... Sure hope Houston steals Woody out from under y'all, and since this is his old stompin' grounds, you guys better offer him a really big pile of dead presidents! :eek:
Houston is actually still an "old Cardinals town" ... As you know, the former Houston Buffs were a farm club to St. Louis, and it's still amazing how many people in this town will list the Cards as at least their #2 favorite team behind the Astros.
Of course, you have those fairly large groups of goofy braves and cubs fans in Houston, like other cities ... They don't really bother me since their primary reason for being fans of the two clubs is "they're on TV a lot" ... Guessing if WGN and TBS showed cartoons instead of baseball, these folks would be wearing George of the Jungle or SpongeBob t-shirts and caps instead ;)
Good talking to you Amag, and hope to see you around the Astros forum along the trail.
