I'll be rooting against Houston no matter whom they are playing until they go back to their original name.

I'll be hoping there is a way that both the Astros and the Dodgers can lose.

Besides, the liberals would never let a team be called the... When I was 8 years old , I went with my family to a game at the Astrodome, and caught a foul ball. They were the Astros then. Good enough.

It seems, I recall the Colt Patent Firearms Company putting the kibosh on the original name?

I had never heard they were called that before. I wish they still were. The liberals would be freaking out over that. Found this story about the name http://www.chron.com/sports/article/When-the-Colt-45s-became-the-Astros-and-the-10647526.php The Colt Firearms Company was getting a little weird about it too. The gun marker reportedly had reservations about merchandising rights and was likely to start asking about a cut of the revenue, and team president Roy Hofheinz wasn't into sharing.
