Are you finding it difficult to adjust to Houston as an A.L. team?
I am.
Houston’s playing a series in Boston. Of course, I’ve never seen the Astros play in Fenway Park. I keep looking at the TV screen and thinking, “Huh? What’s going on? And, why is this team listed in the A.L. standings?”

How did they decide Houston should be in the AL? That’s nuts.
Sidebar: I’m 35 minutes from the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown. If you want to see Cooperstown I’ll give you a guided tour. It’s an awesome village.
@Adirondackwannabe “If you want to see Cooperstown I’ll give you a guided tour.”
What a kind and lovely offer! Thank you so much.
I visited Cooperstown when I was a kid, and Paul and I went a few years ago for Cal Ripken’s induction.
Otsego Lake is so beautiful; no wonder James Fenimore Cooper called it “Glimmerglass.” And, the village looks like something from a postcard.
@ SadieMartinPaul Wow, you made it for Cal’s induction? They had 75,000 people in a village of 2500. That was wild. I love the village. It is a post card. I’d take you to the Farmer’s Museum, the Fenimore Art Museum, the Tunnicliff Inn, the Farmer’s Market (believe me it’s worth it) Fly Creek Cider Mill, just for starters.
I’m finding it harder to readjust to the Red Sox being a very competitive team. After the past couple of years, they seemed to belong in the Double-A leagues.
I went to the Red Sox – Astros game tonight and there was some talk about it amongst fans. No one seemed to care too much though, as we were kicking their tail.
@cookieman Wow! I’m envious. That game certainly had nicer weather than the previous night. And, oh yeah, it wasn’t a 13–0 debacle.
I am an Oakland A’s fan, and we swept both series played this year against the Astros, so I would say I am not finding it difficult to adjust.

Oh…so you enjoyed last Tuesday night in Boston. I hate you. :-)
I am also a Raider fan, win or lose. I do a lot more of the latter.
@filmfann You must be a masochist. A Raider fan?
Might we have seen you in a painted face with spiked leather clothing, @filmfann? At a football game, I mean. In the stands.
No, however I have an ex-boss who is one of the characters in the Black Hole.
I’m with @filmfann as an A’s fan the Astros are padding our stats.
