Houston Bees?

Which makes me wonder: to what extent did the having the Astros to beat up on help the Cards in the Wild Card race?

Being a six team division has certainly been a disadvantage (particularly relative to the AL West) with regards to title hopes, but having the two worst teams in the league to beat up on for 32 games had to provide some consolation while pursuing the consolation prize.

21-11 combined vs. the Cubs and Astros.

Uni Watch presented some good mock ups for the Astros. What Houston unveiled are pretty much the Nationals unis with different colors and an H-star on the cap. Boo!

The Carlos Sosa designs are pretty cool.

Seconded on the Sosa stuff-- it's retro-futurism, which kinda makes it stand out among all the tasteful throwback-y masses.
